    I've got an '87 GSXR 750 that's in extremely good condition. Rode it down to the Barber Vintage Festival last Saturday. was parking it and literally before I got my helmet off a guy was looking at it and wanted to know if I wanted to sell it. Told him I had thought about a little, but wasn't really ready. We exchanged numbers.

    Well, he just called and offered me $6K for it which I think is an extremely good price.

    Now I don't know what to do. I've know this bike since it rolled off the showroom floor. Its been sold back and forth a couple of times in my inner circle of 5 friends.

    This is when I got it out of 20 year hibernation a couple of years ago. Can still see the dust on it. She's much cleaner now.

    "I'm really happy I sold this awesome pristine vintage GSX-R" - said nobody, ever.

    Unless you really need the cash, don’t. Especially since you still ride it. I only sold all my FZRs when I stopped riding them. And, them sitting all the time wasn’t the best for them.

    I’ll give you $6500 and pick it up this weekend. Honestly I would buy it and flip it for $10’000 if it’s nice.

    Those are getting hard to find.

    The stocker the better.

    I got rid of a 94 900RR that I had way less of an emotional connection and I'm still pissed.

    Just don't do it.

    Don'tdo it. You will regret it.
    I sold a 88 Yamaha FZR750RU a long time ago... I still hate myself for letting it go. And still surf the net hoping to find it.
    I am picking up a 87 FZR750R that has never been titled here in the next few days.
    Guy is also going to be selling a GSXR LTD too.

    I think I'm gonna sit on it for now. I told him it might be a year before I would be ready. He said call him when I was. I do ride it, but not much. 100 miles on it beats me up pretty good.
