Purchased: Feb 2008
Sold: Aug 2008
Information: Its Winter in Michigan, but when a seller needs money and has a strong , clean, complete, Vintage Honda Thumper and is even willing to take a non running project bike in trade..then Winter is the time to BUY. Installed head gasket & Sold in the summer. It was a good bike. I had 3 500''s and not enough time to keep clean gas in them. Sold for $1,250.00 in 2008
