'97 S3 Fireball Orange Carbed Single Headlamp

[Ballacraine]

Spotted a mint one of these at a local dealer.

Looks really neat.

Less than 7,000miles & mint.

What is the going price and are they easy to lower? ....I am only 5'7" on a good day :wink:

Early response would be appreciated....

I am going to take a serious look tomorrow.

Thanks for any input.

Nige.

Well I'll tell you one thing- its not a 97. Carb'd triples (single headlight) were only made 94-96.

So... I'm going to assume its a 96. With 7k on it and in excellent shape- I'd say around $4000+. More at a dealer.

BUY IT!!! They are getting rare...

Nice bike...best of luck with it!

[zippythehog]

It's a T3, with carbs. Maybe it wasn't sold until 97, so the title reflects the sale date, not the manufacture date?

I think you are right Zip.

In actual fact when I got the registration document, it said first registered '98.....

I can only guess that at the time, perhaps because of it's 'interesting' colour, or the fact that there was a more glamourous fuel injected version introduced, meant it languished in a dealers showroom for a couple of years. :???:

Thanks bkrbil...I am quite taken with it. :wink:
