#347889 BC1955 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 409 New to this Forum 7 Years ago   Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but not to Yamahas. I currently own a Venture and I am looking into buying a Road Star. That's one reason I joined here. I would like everyone's opinion about the bike I am looking at. It is a 2001 with 4950 miles. (I will try to post pictures so you can see what it looks like.) There are a couple of issues like the bags are shot and the windshield is useless. There are a few rust spots but nothing major. It runs good, just needs to be ridden. My question is, "how much is too much?". I believe his asking price is too much, according to KBB and NADA. Thanks for your input and I hope the attachments work...   Logged     American by birth...

Platinum Boarder Posts: 15025 Re:New to this Forum 7 Years ago   If it's the standard Roadstar the very top book would be 4300. But if it's in the shape you describe it should be less. But like curt said it comes down to what you think.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #347927 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:New to this Forum 7 Years ago     Logged     Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #347929 zoom1056 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 817 Re:New to this Forum 7 Years ago   from southern maine, I agree start out a grand below book, worst he can say is no, make him come back with a counter offer.
