I had a get together this weekend with friends I hadn’t seen in quite some time, some since before the pandemic. With this event, the weather, and feeling a little under the weather, riding our motorcycles will have to wait until next weekend.
I do have some motorcycle news, however. We’ve had an offer on the BMW G 310 GS at our price ($4950). Once the cashier’s check arrives and clears, we may have one of the two motorcycles up for sale sold. I had to go back on CycleTrader and buy a new ad for the Ducati Scrambler. Unfortunately, once a listing has been live for 24 hours, they don’t let the seller edit the full listing. I had listed it as a Ducati Desert Sled Scrambler Fasthouse, and Bill pointed out that someone searching for a Ducati Scrambler has to wade through 10 pages of results before ours showed up. Once I put it in as the Ducats Scrambler, it came up with only one other motorcycle being sold out in California. I did get an offer on the Ducati, but it was way under what we’re asking, so I refused it.
I do hope that we manage to sell both these motorcycles, and I hope we can give more serious consideration to purchasing the BMW R 1250 GS. At this rate, though, I should be able to test ride the new 1300 model coming out in the Fall. If I’m lucky, the upgraded engine will be a big hit, reducing the demand for the 1250 and bringing those prices down. That would really make me happy.
