We have a lot of time, effort and
money into listing this motorcycle on ebay. Please be respectful of that
and be certain that you intend to follow through with the sale. Your bid
is a contract to buy.
We have the listing set up to accept
bids only from US and Canadian bidders in an effort to prevent scammers from ruining the
auction. If you are a legitimate bidder outside of the US or Canada and you have a
way to have the bike picked up at our location without it being crated, please e-mail
Chris at chris@motoworkschicago.com. Provide him with your ebay ID and
confirm that you can arrange international shipping and have the bike picked up
uncrated at our location in Chicago, and he will gladly add you to the list that
allows you to bid.
This bike is listed as used, as technically it is used, but it is essentially a new bike. Why would anyone sell a used bike with 11 miles? Here's the story: We are Chicago's dealer for Ducati, Triumph, and Vespa. We had a customer come in and purchase 14 vehicles from us over the course of the last 10 weeks. It was a blast! The young man would come in once a week and buy a new bike… or two. We would deliver the bikes to his badass pad on the North Shore, place them in the garage, show him around the machine, and that was that… until we got a phone call from his "trustee." It turns out this young man was writing checks from a large trust fund that he is not supposed to have access to until 2019! We agreed to buy the bikes back and this is one of them, but they will all be listed over the next few weeks. In addition to this bike, we have:
These "used" bikes will be
sold at smokin' deal prices. There are a
few more. We are working on looking the
bikes over, getting them photographed and listed. If you are interested in any of these bikes,
or would like details on the additional bikes please call Chris at 312-878-8711.
You can save a ton of money over buying a new one by buying this one. MSRP on a new one is $7,699, plus $495 freight, plus $495 set-up. As you can see in the pictures below, this one is literally like new. I couldn't find a single mark on it. It even still has the little nubs on the tires!
The Bonneville is a great all-around bike. Small enough and light enough for a beginner to handle, but big enough and powerful enough to keep an experienced rider grinning. The power curve is such that it can be ridden very tamely, or you can explore its wilder side by opening it up and letting it rip. It's great on gas and can be set up easily with Triumph's quick-release windshield and gorgeous leather bags to do some touring.
There are 36 pictures
