I went with a buddy to a another friend/co-workers house last night, my buddy was going to buy a car from the other co-worker. I knew that the guy with the car for sale also rode this Yamaha Maxim to work once in awhile. So we were checking out the car for sale, having a few beers, bsing, you know, guy stuff. He was selling the car pretty cheap, so I threw out a very low ball offer on the yammy, keep dreaming he says. So right before we leave, I threw out the offer again, he just laughed. On the way home I get a text from him, upping my offer, I told him I would think about it. 10 minutes later, he drops his price by 50 bucks, I text him back, dropping the price another 25 bucks, SOLD he says. COOL! So I went back down today and picked it up. I will ride it to work once or twice a week I think, and save some money on gas in my car.

1983 Yamaha Maxim 750, 22,000 miles, runs great, pretty dang good shape.

Final price after some minimal haggering, $125 bucks! :D

Plain dumb luck. This is the first time EVER that I've had something like this fall into my lap.

I spent the afternoon yesterday with some super fine steel wool and some chrome polish, today I will change he oil in it. And it looks like I need to get a valve cover gasket for it, that should be it.

Anybody got any idea of what I should get for MPG with it?

125 bucks? You can't buy a mini- bike for that.
Good to see there are some good deals left out there,...

Enjoy the good deal,.. and bugs in the teeth!

Hey eveyone, I just heard over the police scanner, there is a APB out for a fella that stole a bike for $125. Be on the look out. The police said he was wearing a smile from ear to ear.
