My toughest decision.....IM SELLING ALL OF MY VINTAGE BIKES. was created by XRArin
Hi everyone,
I have decided to sell all of my old vintage bikes which include:
1969 Yamaha DT1 250
1971 Yamaha DT1 250
1971 Yamaha RT1 360
1972 Husqvarna WR450
1974 Yamaha SC500
I will say that some of these bikes are being worked on by professional mechanics right now but once they are done, I need to sell them if possible. Some are better than others but all of them are in great shape. The reason why I'm selling every vintage bike I have is not only the cost to maintain these bikes but the parts are very hard to find. I'm a 24 yr old college student and I don't even have a career yet! I want these bikes to go to someone who will appreciate them and ride them. I am now owner of 3 brand new KTM 500 exc-f dual sports and I will say that I will have fun on those than any other bike!
Please let me know if any of you are interested in a particular bike I have. Private message me and I will get back to you asap.

Arin-
Where are you located? Good info for any potential buyer to know.
Do you have pics you can send out to interested parties?

Alright… Now that - the holiday is over and it’s time to get back at it -
I am going to make a statement as best I can regarding this situation.
First off Arin… I was 14 years old when I lost my Dad. So, every darn thing in Life has been a struggle since September 1972, including remedial schooling..
We’re not talking about selling one bike here - we’re talking about a collection.
So, your 24 now approximately 18 when I met DT DAVE.
Your CL add has a mistake that’ needs correction… the price at the bottom doesn’t match the price at the top. You speak about time wasting on that ad. I gave you on a holiday two phone calls that were 45 minutes on the second call alone, and gladly tried to help you - as you then decided to take your bike elsewhere, because I was honest about electrical work. Not my strongest business asset.
Now let’s get back on topic. Everyone here knows that vintage bikes require much more time and money than anything we are passionate about. If you have lost your passion for these costly machines then by all means sell everything at the opening bell. However, if you are still passionate about Yamaha Enduros then hear me out.
All of us have gone through periods where we were short on funding. I just paid back $5500.00 to a lender before the interest started accruing on August 11, 2023. Yeah, right before I spoke to you.. There’s more debt that needs to be paid back by January, triple that amount ( just to stay in business and service the public ). It costs money to stay in business. You’re either going to do it —- or you throw your arms up in the air and declare to the World ——- I QUIT…
In regards to being a student and still not knowing exactly what you’d like to do?
If you loose your Faith, Hope and Passion you’ll surely be miserable.
Get a piece of paper and make some note’s what you want?
Draw Strength from the Universe…
