Looking to sell my 1968 Yamaha YCS1 180. She's a beauty and my first love, but must go.

Thank you for looking at my bike! I have owned this one for about 3 years. Other than air filters, to the best of my knowlege everything is 100% original! It is obvious it did not get much sun. There is no fade in the factory blue /white metallic paint and the gauges are still bright. Front fender has a ding and could use some loving. One fork boot has a rip. Headlight by the key is marked up. One blem on top of the tank and seat. But over over all its very nice. The last time I rode it, it preformed flawlessly, that was about last summer. Engine, Trans and clutch are fine. Gas tank is very clean. I have a title. Serial numbers match. As you can see in the pictures it is very nice. Probably its one the nicer unrestored YCS1s anywhere.
ENGINE -2 cylinder 180 cc 2T oil injected
TRANS- 4 speed/wet clutch
ELECTRIC- Battery 12V
STARTER- Electric
MILLAGE- 7600

Thank you all for your help and please pass this along to anybody you know who might be interested in this beauty!

while it is a sweet little bike, you are about a grand too high.

It won't sell quickly at that price. Seems a little high, but I've been way wrong before.

If you want top dollar (and who doesn't) put it on Ebay. It doesn't cost you if it doesn't sell.

" I've been advised to sell at this price, people usually think it's fair. "

They may SAY that but obviously they don't THINK that . They keep walking away .

I guess that's as good an explanation as any .

I usually look at ' whatever the market will bare' . Comes down to pretty much the same end .

So according to you, how much should I ask for?
Isn't it kind of odd to talk about the price of something before asking any question about it and/or seeing it?

Being as I'm one to turn a dollar faster to reinvest for further growth , I may not be the best person to offer an opinion , but ... $1700 All Serious Offers Considered .

No, price is the first thing I want to know because I have something in mind and I don't need any of these toys anyway. So...to me to have that toy I have this amount in mind. Even if it is perfect, mint I would not pay more than that to have the toy. It is just not worth it to me so I walk away so we don't waste everyones time. Steve Searles Pet Peave #331: Price must be in the Ad or shown on the article for sale IN ALL INSTANCES. Nothing worse than bothering someone at home, on the phone, at a swap meet when the price is not near either the buyer or sellers predetermined figure. Man, that bugs me, can u tell??
