I can respect selling it for a new project 750's are a beast. Older naked goldwing is alright, but I'd try to find a Valkyrie - same engine, as the newer goldwings, and already naked.

To be honest, I wish I kept a running total, because believe it or not Im not really into the bike much at all. I took off and sold a lot of parts, and also bought a 'lot' of parts for cheap and sold what I didnt need and even made money off those, so all said and done I really have put almost nothing out of pocket into it. The paint job was a favor from a friend and saved me about 3-$400 o: Anything I make off this bike is pure profit. Next time I will be sure to keep funds separated so I can keep an accurate tally.

Yeah, definitely at least a 750. If this kid buys it, I have a 750 lined up with a 996cc motor and a 600rr rear tire/swing arm o:

It came along nicely. Sell it and move on to a new project you're more interested in FTW.
