    I’m sure most would crucify me for this but that bike would definitely be ridden if I were to buy it. Not much but it would see the dirt every now and then. What a beautiful machine!

    I would have to say never driven ? Well why does the rear shock have such a non standard colored shock body and blue springs.

    I did about 4 years ago talk with a great
    husky fan that spent about 7500 for that 430 that was sold still in a crate. He was from New Zealand.

    Thats my fantasy is to find one of these still in a crate.

    Never ridden? I don't believe it unless the owner has good reason why the shock reservoirs were moved, why the tank knee area was polished, why the rear fender looks incorrect and worn. Something's not right with this picture.

    That looks like a terrible place to relocate the reservoir! Am I missing something? Is chain rash helpful?

    Once I rode my first 78/79 cr390 my 250’s stayed parked. Nobody puts a 390 in the mothballs.

    The control levers, the lever dust covers, the front brake cable, the kill switch wire, fuel filter, color of brake pedal vs frame, etc. :naughty:

    It has been ridden, I can see worn spot in the paint on the frame just above the foot peg. The bike should also have the original Barum rear tire with the gun sight logo on the knobs.

    New ad says the bike has never even had gas in it, and the price has gone down to $3700.

    New photos, too. Now includes poodle, which is probably why the price dropped $500.
