MOPED ARMY

Oh and also...the carb connector is no longer a piece of pool hose. It comes with the gas resistant carb clamp connector available on Treats.

Here's another picture with the pipe in view.

It's not $60 off. Ya didn't read far enough or ya missed it.

That was just some rough math NOT INCLUDING the case, crank, electronics, yada yada. All in rustless, scarless RUNNING condition.

I've seen bottom ends without stators go for stupid prices sometimes, so I can't really put a price on that.

There's also the fact that Minarelli V1's are notably harder to find than E50's, 103's, AV7's, etc. You're not really seeing it here...I had a lot of trouble finding this motor to buy off someone else, so I know the prices people are willing to pay for one running with the demand for them at times.

So, it seems reasonable. The kit has maybe 150km on it. The rebuild has maybe 400 on the bottom end, same as the kit for the top end.

I'm sure someone that has a rolling frame laying around would find this a great deal. I'd say that's more like $160 off, if not more when you consider...you have to also factor in the cost of SHIPPING. Unless you mysteriously purchase a bottom end, kit, intake, carb, high compression head, etc. all at the same place - you're looking at hundreds spent on shipping piecing it together. I know the shipping is cheaper between states than it is to my country, but still - it's a lot of money over the time it takes to build a whole motor in most cases.

Of course someone living within commutable distance to a moped store would pay less...but that's not my target audience here.

I'm also not letting it go for pennies to cheap-os. I've put a lot of love and care into this motor and am not looking for a quick sale, or to 'help' anyone out other than myself in the end - though I'm glad that I can save someone a fair chunk of coin if this is exactly what they need to get their rolling frame complete - Good luck getting a blasting fast kitted bike made out of your $50 titled frame you found in a junk yard with a rust destroyed motor for under $500 by any other means is my point. You can't argue that it isn't cheaper.

I know what it's worth; not just to me. You also have to take into consideration that some of the parts on this motor can NOT be bought new (the high comp head for instance) - therefore the relative "values" I listed are indeed accurate since they are the same condition you would buy them from a store from; considering they are not produced anymore. You can't buy a 'new' kick start V1 case, unless of course you're talking NOS, but whatever.
