I paid $1800 last year for a 95, so I would say he's in the ballpark. I'd offer him $2000. He'll probably take $2200.

I also think 97's were limited production so he may not budge much if he knows what he's got.
 
^ same!

Those are nice sleds. We owned one. A 97 vmax 4 800- with PSI quads, roller rooster clutch. It was GrEAT.
 
Yea i'm hoping he dosent know what he's got,i've seen a few this year i found a '96 for 1500 or best and a '95 for 1500 also,was thinking offering around 1800 see if he'll bite.
 
Well she's a done deal just got off the phone with the guy and i bought her sight un seen, she's MINT all original 100% stock(how i like 'em) with ONLY 1,100 miles!!!!..LOL!!! he took $2,000 dollars for it and he will deliver it too for me for $50(gas), she'll be here tonight @ 7-8 clock.

LOL, great find ;)!
 
^ LMAO. My day went fast. But if I had such a SWEET coming i bet it would have went slow. Get LOTS! of pictures too.
 
Oh i do know it. I have one with 1100 KM also! But it wasnt stock. It deserves to be ridden! gently of course!
 
Dude got here a little late around 8:30pm but the wait was worth it,this thing looks brand new i'm not kidding,runs awesome,pulls over pretty easy for a 4 cylinder i was surprised, anyway here's some quick pics i took of her after running her in the garage for the night.

i did notice the windy is not stock,got a gay tall one on it, l'ii be looking for the stock low black one to get that back to original

You can say that again! That sled is so clean!!! After little TLC it´s just too good LOL

When it was ridden last time? I would suggest that you change oil to chain drive + primary driven gear etc. You probably know all of this allready.

Looks great. Just like our old one (but without the pipes and mods). You robbed that poor guy! LOL. Yeah that windy needs to come off. have fun with her
