Edited Date/Time:
Ok I have a good friend who has been a Mechanic/Tech his whole career (A&P, RV, Auto, Motorcycle etc) and currently owns his own Mobile RV biz and does quite well at it.. He's one of those Technicians who cuts no corners and always does things top notch.
Anyway the bike has sat in his storage shed for a number of yrs as he has other bikes he rides. He now wants to upgrade to a current DualSport Husky 450 and we know how much those baby's cost. As much as he would like to hang onto his immaculate 01 CR500 (last yr of production) I think I have him talked into finally letting her go so he can justify getting the Husky.
I don't have a current picture but last time I saw the bike was just after he made it street legal with lights, blinkers, horn and a kickstand. I'm pretty sure it has a FMF pipe and silencer but is mostly bone stock with low hours. He did not ride it much after that as he ended up scoring a Sweet Honda 600XRL from one of his customers.
So just wanted to put it out there to see what she might be worth before he makes the next step.
Thanks
