Re: [St] Advice Needed - RE: Selling 2000 SprintRS



So it's decided, that since Nate can't transport the baby in the tank bag, he should sell it (the bag, not the baby) to Steve, but keep the bike and not feel guilty for only riding it a few thousand miles every year.

Nate,

I have a bike very much like yours (except for the tank bag, which I wish I had). Same year, color, and almost same miles. Looking at ads for the RS in Seattle occasionally is depressing. Somewhere in the $3000+ range is about all they can command, especially in this economy. Unfortunately, they are not old enough to become a cult bike, yet. For that mattter, they will probably not become a cult bike in the future either. There are not enough of us enlighten souls to support such a market.

I feel that I have to keep the bike. It does everything I ask and then some. I cannot imagine another bike that will give me the Bang for the?Buck that I get from my RS. I do not have the time or resources to tour extensively, so hard bags and creature comforts are not essential to me. Your needs may vary. However, I am always happy to ride my bike whenever I can. It is the best bike I have ever owned, and may very well hold that position for a long time.

I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do. (I only lust after your tank bag a little bit.)
