Do you have a price in mind for your's? I have a friend who is looking semi seriously for an FZ1. problem would of course be shipping but who knows he might be interested.

I tried to sell it for a couple of months earlier this year with no success. I had it listed at like $3,850. I think the 20,000 miles scares people off despite it being in great shape.

The FZ1 is a great all around bike and there's nothing that it doesn't do well, I'm just itching to ride something different for a while.

Magna's are pretty decent. Definite step up with the V4 over the typical cruiser V-twin.

Yea we had a small "gang" back in the day. I had a V-Max, my buddy Brian had a Magna and Scott had an Eliminator. We tore up some shit for sure! That Magna was no joke and was the fastest bike made before the V-Max if I'm not mistaken!

I certainly nderstand wanting something larger in a Cruiser but in general the VZ engines are bulletproof and not a tough fix if it is the carbs.. That said I am seeing larger metric cruisers in the 3500 range on craigs list. and at 5500 a for a 03 C90 Suzuki I think you may be able to find a better trade.

I'm gonna shoot for the Magna and $600 cash so I can get my son a dirtbike. I think he's got the fever worse than I do at this point. He asked earlier, "Can we go to the motorcycle store and sit on motorcycles and drink some cokes?"

Yea, he's 5. lol

Dude, your begging to be ripped off.

Your fz1 is worth far more than that magna, and with 600$ its not even close to an even trade. 20k miles is nothing.

Take some time and look around.
