Kawasaki Doug :

Hello

Kawasaki Doug :

I have all of the HD manuals and books, but putting my fingers on the info when I need it is another mater!

Kawasaki Doug :

You have a 1968 250CC SS Sprint motorcycle.

Kawasaki Doug :

It was made in Italy by Aermacchi for Harley Davidson. They produced all of the single cylinder bikes sold by Harley.

Kawasaki Doug :

Give me a moment to look up the price for it.

Kawasaki Doug :

These prices come from my motorcycle auction guide. They are actual prices that bikes have sold for or would be expected to sell for at a motorcycle auction.

Kawasaki Doug :

In perfect showroom condition, that model is rated at $4,200. In Excellent condition, $3,360. In very good condition, $2,520. In good condition $1,890. in average condition $1,260. In poor condition $840.

Kawasaki Doug :

You would expect to get less on ebay or in a local sale. The highest money paid is always at vintage motorcycle auctions. There is a big one in the midwest, here in Minnesota, one in Florida and one in Vegas. You always see the Vegas one on TV.

Kawasaki Doug :

Do you need any additional information on your motorcycle?

Kawasaki Doug :

Just hit the reply or respond tab to chat. Use the rating tab only when we are done.

Kawasaki Doug :

Sometimes there is a chat error. Did you get the model and price information I posted above?

Customer :

Thanks, the only other question would be, can you recommend a good place to buy parts for restoration of our bike?

Customer :

PS--We live in southern Indiana

Kawasaki Doug :

There are a couple of sites that specialize in those parts. Give me a moment to locate that. Parts are easy to find in Italy, but a little tougher here.

Kawasaki Doug :

Kawasaki Doug :

http://www.aermacchisprint.com/

Kawasaki Doug :

I would also check on ebay.

Kawasaki Doug :

If it's a rare part, you may need to go out of the country for it, but you can find almost anything if you dig around a bit.

Customer :

Thanks Kawasaki Doug! You've been a great help and we had been having a hard time finding the info! I will definetly give you a great rating! Was worth the money!

Kawasaki Doug :

If you need more help, come back and let me know. I specialize in vintage motorcycle restoration.

Customer :

Thanks, can I ask for you?

Kawasaki Doug :

Yes, or just put for Doug in the title of the question and I'll see it.

Customer :

Thanks, I will probably be back later, have a great day.....Carol

Kawasaki Doug :

Thank you.
