Wow, $2000 is a steal, But for a buyer not being able to turn it on, a bit of a risk. But at that price totally worth it. Personally I would have put a battery in it and sold it for $3500 or more.

[@umakantgajjewar8898]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking..

[@HarryNoze]

2k. I wish I were local. That’s the deal of the century. With that said, you did what you had to do

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Jon's Moto Garage Liquidation Sale!!! HURRY HURRY HURRY!!!!! These deals WILL NOT LAST!!!!!!! 😆😄🤸🏼‍♀️❤❤❤

[@Rob-lj1jl]

Man I wish I could have bought it. I would have paid way more because Triumphs cost more in Canada

[@upsidedowndog1256]

You priced it to move it. It moved. You didn't have to mess with the battery or possibly the fuel pump. Personally I would have but may not have gotten much better than you did. Water under the bridge. When I want something to move I sell cheap.

[@gregelston8926]

I have always liked your channel and believe you tell it like it is. You did good getting it sold. I think whether you make money or loose it, you strike me as a man in motion. In this case a man thinking of his family’s needs too. I wish you and your family much success, and I will always check out your videos.

[@daveco1270]

Seems like for the price of a 50 dollar battery you could have tacked another 500 dollars onto the price easily. The fuel pump problems are an issue though. That'll cost money, and the buyer isn't sure if that's the only problem, or if it's the actual problem. So 2 grand is probably fair for everyone. I just bought a very clean 2007 Bonnie with a cool custom paint job (similar to yours) for the same price (2 grand.) It had been sitting for 4 years with gas in the tank and carbs....so it wasn't currently running. It was a bit of a gamble but I jumped on the deal, hoping I could get it running without too much work. The owners didn't think there was anything major wrong with the bike, but if you can't test ride it you just never know. I got it home, cleaned the carbs and the gas tank (which was a mess) and she fired right up. I figure I'll enjoy the bike for a little bit this summer then hopefully pass it on to the next guy for a little more than I paid for it. This was my first attempt at buying a non runner and trying to get it back on the road.

[@cobramike9538]

Not many motorcycle buyers in July here in AZ. Not much is selling unless it's priced to sell. Sometimes it's just easier to price it cheap and get it sold. Wasting time dealing with flakes isn't worth the hassle when you have a day job and a life to live.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Spot on! 💯

[@MrRourk]

Win some lose some. Glad you are having success getting buyers.

[@frederickwoods5943]

I bought two leftover 2012's ten years ago, my Bonneville SE had 3 miles on it. The surging at idle-low throttle is because they are set up so lean. My Thruxton has had a re-flash of the ECU and has a "Royal Enfield 650 smooth" throttle. Enough about mine, my Bonnie had over 12,000 miles when I sold it recently; they easily bring $4,500+

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Ours ran beautifully when first purchased. The surging started some while later and seemed almost identical to when I had a fuel pump go out on a bike previously. I could be mistaken of course.

[@ayedee6681]

Ha, Jon sent me a reply to buy his Grom, said he'd priced it too low :) .... ah well. As to the Triumph, if you want a premium price, put in the work to sell it at a premium. Which would make good content too .. :)

[@michaelking4578]

I found a 2013 Triumph Bonneville with 1800 miles for $4200. Not a super deal but to me it was totally worth it because it runs great and just needed an oil change. Tires were replaced by the second owner. I am third. They hardly rode it so I was concerned there could be issues but so far not the case. Love the Triumph Bonneville especially the air cooled 865cc. I would not by the liquid cooled 900cc.

[@konrad1101]

Damnnn i loves this channel. You still gonna do motorcycle reviews??

[@goldfish8196]

3500 miles for 2k !! wow! what a deal!

[@adamhill2788]

Good footage!

[@YungChief]

Are the 2 Harleys still for sale?

[@2wheeledwillie395]

Hey Jon...I've been subbed to you for years..love yr channel, do you see many Royal Enfields ? I'm obsessed with them!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I've never personally ridden one, but I do see them on the road from time to time.

[@mongrelmotorsports]

You gave it away. It was worth at least $1500 more even with the problems.

[@albertwoodeasy9021]

Kept wondering why u leaving the wheelie fun?

[@JasonRidesmoto]

Man a battery would have cost what $100 bucks? Then get market value for it? 🤨

[@peterwilson8039]

It's common when you lose interest in a hobby, that you take a beating when you sell your stuff. For me, if somebody tells me something like - yeah it's running really badly, but it just needs new plugs, for me that's a hard NO! because if the fix really was that easy they would have done it themselves. I would assume that "just needs new plugs" would translate to "motor is completely shot". Maybe I'm just a little cynical. Just an addendum, that bike has carburetors, so it wouldn't have a fuel pump. Bikes with carburetors react badly to sitting around a lot, but if it's not too bad, you could probably fix it with a tankful of premium and little exercise of your right wrist. Water under the bridge now though, of course.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, just the name of the game. Based on my research, the bike is fuel injected but has what look like carburetors to keep the classic look.

[@peterwilson8039]

@@JonsMotoGarage I think you're right, but those things look exactly like carburetors. That's pretty amazing.

[@NightTrainRides]

​@@JonsMotoGaragethrottle bodies are normally used in that situation and they either use fuel injectors in the throttle body or directly in the intake.

[@frederickwoods5943]

@peterwilson8039 that is a 2012, those are faux "carburetors" it IS fuel injected just like my 2012's; a Bonneville SE and Thruxton.

[@peterwilson8039]

@@frederickwoods5943 Reply yes. I was mistaken. The issue is that they look exactly like carburetors, as opposed to the throttle bodies on the new Bonnevilles that look similar to carburetors. Jon might be better off if they were real carburetors. It would easier to get the thing running again.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Good buy at 2,000 USD and such low mileage.

[@derek17005]

Yeah you sold it too cheap IMO. Around here (OKC) and the DFW area, a T100 with low miles like that would easily be $4,500-$5K. Especially with today's post Covid prices that haven't come down to quite pre-pandemic prices. So much junk people want a mint for and your bike was the polar opposite of that outside of needing the fuel pump. I guess Triumphs have somewhat expensive parts though and that fuel pump and whatever else was needed besides the battery which can be had for $80 or so, could've easily run several hundred dollars. I think it may have been a little low but who knows. When you posted the video mentioning you were selling it and your price, I seriously thought about figuring some way to make the 14+ hour drive to come get it. Oh well. Someone is going to have a fantastic bike.

[@markoevo]

Think i would have invested in a new battery and fresh petrol , i wont touch a bike like that unless i could make the money back in spares

[@stephenhepburn6374]

you couldnt pinch battery off one of other bikes just to show mileage and it running??

[@tomsreviews238]

Must have been some real issues with that Triumph being that the buyer couldn't even check the mileage and you sold it for only $2K

[@bryanfrederick6384]

Good luck to your Future ventures in Buy Sell cash will always be King I couldn't or wouldn't want to do anything else well maybe Well paid Moto Traveler 😂

[@albertsmith792]

Gave that bike away!

[@californiapoontappa]

Hipster bikes sell fast

[@JAMMAJ-cq2bl]

👍

[@adriansolis7760]

Why did you sell it so cheap???

[@chrisbarnes9260]

Definitely sold it too cheap. Even if you didn’t have time you could have paid someone to fix it. Also the amount of interest you had tells us me someone else would have paid more.

[@Fittednocap]

Why are you selling all your bikes?

[@irvinmartin9259]

Fuel pump? What fuel pump. It's pretty obviously carbureted. It only uses gravity feed. This is the great thing about these wheeler-dealers. They're usually clueless about what their selling.

[@MeettheotherBrowns]

2009 and newer models were all electric fuel injected.

[@brucehelppie6119]

you will probably take a beating on all of the bikes that you have stunted. that likely just goes with the territory with that activity. neglect, worn parts, unable to start conditions obviously don't enhance sales value. not a good idea to announce how much money you used to keep on hand. you could be exposing yourself and family to danger. even though you say you no longer continue this practice, there may be people out there who don't believe you. i hate to say this, but some people looking to buy are sketchy. so i don't come off as overly critical, i've taken some pretty good losses on stuff i've sold too.

[@user-xn1bo9rx5m]

telling people about cash and showing your address ? you are not a real BIKER.
