    You can barely give a non-running Voyager 1300 away, only made a couple years in limited numbers, parts are tough to come by and they are difficult to work on.

    That Ninja might be worth $1,600, if it runs fine. Judging by the pipe and the fairing, I imagine it looks way rougher in person than in the pics (which isn't too hot to begin with). The LTDs? $2000-$2500 each, if currently running and in extremely good shape.

    He might have $8K-$9K worth of bikes there. Might.

      I like the friction-enhancing iron oxide coating adorning the brake rotors. That's some high tech stuff, right there. There's even a bunch of it on the exhaust systems.

      Nice to see the Ninja is pre-crashed, and is wearing bald flat tires -- saves you the trouble of getting that first wreck out of the way, and you don't need to bother shaving tread before you head to the track.

          I will testify to ALL those points. I had mine (same year as those offered here) for 5 years, ran it from 38,000 miles to about 93,000 miles. The Voyager 1300 was made for 6 years, best estimates were that there were a total of 4500 made. That is the total for all 6 years, not 4500 each year.

          The drive to the water pump was rather convoluted, involving a pair of bevel gears in the process. One of the gears was made of nylon, to keep it quiet. However, nylon in a hot, oily environment turns brittle, and it lost a couple of teeth. After weeks of searching, a fellow member of the Voyager club sent me what was probably the last new gear in North America, but only because he had recently wrecked his Voyager.

          Depending on just how deeply you wanted to get into the bike, the practical limit would be valve adjustment, stator replacement, oil and filter changes, spark plugs, tires and brakes. Beyond that, it's almost worth the extra money to have it done. The problem was finding a shop that could/would do it. I am fortunate enough that there is a shop about 50 miles from me that was happy to do them. The shop owner has a Voyager and there were at least 3 other customers with one.

                Unless every piece is tagged with the pertinent info, it's an almost impossible task now. Look at those piles of VM and CV carb sets....how would you ever tell the Suzukis from the Hondas from the Yamahas from the... ??

                        And yes I would, just to see how many GS parts I could save from becoming more scrap metal - but it's 4 hours away and my dance card is full for several weekends to come....

                          In New Hampshire we have a similar place Coopers MC salvage. No set hours, says open by appointment only but he is usually around on Saturday. Sells on Ebay. All Japanese parts. Every time I have needed something he knows right where it is. I needed a chain guard for my 650E and he says yep I have two. We go out back to an old truck body open the door and the second one he picks up he says right here but then says I think the other one is nicer. Picks up a few more and says here is the nice one!
