So I'm seriously thinking about buying a 2002 Yamaha Warrior:

Ever since I rode Barry's three or so years ago, I've wanted one :crap:

Thoughts?

Do it...the Warrior is an awesome machine! If you want me to scope it out in person before you drive up, let me know.

its one of only two cruisers i ever wanted...

while red isnt my fav color for them, that appears to be an awesome deal.

I should know better than to ask - I forgot how this works - "So Mike, since you're not riding the Warrior today, you think, uh...?" :lol:

That's a good deal.

02 Honda VTXs are going for like $7,000+

It seems like a fair deal to me; eBay Warriors are selling for about the same, with much less mileage :shrug:

That is the only cruiser bike I have ever wanted. Go for it!

One things for sure, the dude is practically giving the bike away at that price. Hell I usually see them go for around $8,500 to $6,500. I've never seen one this low. Like you said, if it wasn't local, I would think that it is priced so low that it is just a scam.

Hell at that price you could buy it and resell it just to make money. I tell everyone that every bike I have is for sale, except my warrior!

Sweet, don't forget a little extra money at the bank for these chaps I have here for you. They are :bum: ones.

The Don has spoken :smilebig: Thanks man, I was hoping you would chime in :yeah:

OK... it's an overwhelming "hellz yeah", so I'm off to the bank, then Columbia.

Swing by, I want to see it. :)

I could meet you somewhere along the way. I still have to go to work today after getting the bike :crap:

That's fine, just call me. I'm 10 miles from I-26/I-77 interchange.

He's probably en-route right now!

Kat_Mac

11-17-2008, 03:59 PM

He got it. I called him when he was on his way back. Dan, I'm going to need you to fashion some device that will let me ride it. Can't reach the damn gears as is.

I'm sure I can come-up with some removeable extensions. Those bikes sit low enough, you probably can sit on it and be flat footed.:)

knee high 6" platform boots.... of course for proper protection, they'll have to be leather too.:chin:

mike, post up some pics of the new bike?

Mike

I was just outside Columbia by the time you posted. Well... now you have another excuse to visit :D

so mike did you get it?

Yep, sitt'n purdy in my garage :smilebig:

mike, post up some pics of the new bike?

I will tomorrow sometime; at work now. Suffice it to say the CL pics don't do it justice. If it wasn't for the odometer, I would think that the bike had less than 5K on it. Nice pipes, PowerCommander USB, bugscreen, Corbin seat (not sure if it's a keeper), custom tank bag, tires in good shape, quality bike cover... :yeah:

Tru dat. But I seem to recall me making more visits to your neck of the woods than vice versa. :p

It's what happens when the neck you're visit'n is nicer than the one in which you're liv'n :smilebig:

Well, you do have a pretty sexy neck. :eek:

Thanks Barry.

You know, I had one very brief decision process this morning, and it went a little something like this: hmm, maybe I should call Barry to see if he wants to get rid of his Warrior? Nope, no way, that's probably the last bike he'll sell. The end :D

Well in case you didn't know MK, a warrior will pull a second gear rolling burnout with no problems.:D I bet your daddy's ole harley won't do that! Oh, the warrior is a total blast at the drag strip.

He's got the right pipes. He just needs some engine management to put up the big hp numbers.

Or one of these

Well it's like 30 degree out tonight, that should keep it running cool.
