Re: Is this a good deal?

Excellent bike to learn on. After 3000 miles remains very useful for around town and shorter adventures beyond. Cheap to operate, maintain and insure. Excellent gas mileage. Relatively simple mechanics.

Not appropriate for long distance, high speed, or highway. May be a tad small if you are super tall (say 6'2" or better.) Not the best for touring or two up.

Be aware, there can be a lot wrong with a bike that has not been ridden. Carb, gas tanks, tires, battery, starter, chains, choke, etc. If you cannot repair these things yourself, your actual cost will rise rapidly and can easily exceed the price of a much newer bike.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
