Where in NM are you located? I’m in Santa Fe! Victor

What major town are you close to or E, W. N, South side of the state What do you think you would want and how long could you hold it? --------------- Clarence

I'm sorry if my post sounded like I was trying to sell my Hodaka Custom Trials Motorcycle on this Forum.
I was Not that is why I didn't mention the Price or my location and contact.

I have been trying to sell it here in Grants, New Mexico with no Bites!
Victor, check Albqu Cregs list.
Clarence, I can not answer anything more so that I don't cross any lines with the forum.
I was just wanting to know what the "Learned Members" felt this Hodaka was worth, Not trying to sell it on the Forum.

Again, I am sorry if I crossed the Line here.

What would you have to get out of it to make selling it worth the effort? Then go from that point.

I looked at your CL ad, that’s a fair price but it is a “specialty “ bike. So your market is slightly narrow.

What a beautiful Hodaka. To me you never broke any rule. you asked, what would be a fair price. Then you politely told us where to look. you could not have been more professional. I looked up Albqu and I think your price is very reasonable. If anybody crossed the line it was I --------Clarence

Yes, it is a Specialty Built (Trials) motorcycle but if you change the Seat, and Final Drive Sprocket it will make a Great Dirt Bike too.
I have a 36 tooth and another BMI seat too.

An interesting bike. I think we visited at HD 19. How do I contact you. Bruce

Great looking build. I see you have also found BMI Karts, that's where I found rebuild kits for the Super Combat shocks.
Just a quick question. With the shift lever turned backwards, wouldn't that make the shift pattern 1 up and 4 down?

Yes, but like other MCs you get use to it.

Rick! It was nice meeting you today!!! I felt like I have really made a new friend!

I think you should stick to your guns on the price! Especially after showing me your “Binder!” I’ve never seen a bike that well documented! Stick with advertising on Trials forum & trials websites! I’m sure you’ll find a buyer! And I think you should start at $6,000 & negotiate from there, Not from $2700! Victor
