Title: should i buy?
Post by: Triesandluth on April 19, 2015, 09:19:37 PM
Saw a 2012 2 stroke Super 8 for sale here in town. Looks clean. Guy wants $600. I would of course try to talk him down. Seems like a good deal on a three year old bike, if it hasn't been run into the ground. what do ya'll think?

There is like new 2013 Super 8 50 2T close to me, asking $1200.  I think about buying it everyday LOL's.  2T basically same engine as Super 9 AC, and People 50 2T.  The Tecnigas pipe I bought will fit S9, People 50 2T, and S8 50 2T.  Once you figure out how to make your S9 run fast, should be same for S8?

Seems Super 8 50 2T's have difficulty going faster than mid 40 mph for some reason, may be some issue I am not aware of?

Whats wrong with it?  I see it on CL, looks good to me.  $600 may be too high.  You in NC right?  I see S9's close to you from time to time, I would save for used S9, they are so cool, I would have 3 of them if didn't have to drive 1000 miles to get one.  Cheers

I'm just thinking of trying something different.  Yeah,  I'm in asheville, NC.  There's a guy selling his s9 that needs "carb work" for $700. It's exactly like mine,  but I bought mine for 675 running with less on the odometer.  He claims to be firm on the price.  Must be because it's been there a long while now.  I actually spoke with him once and was going to go look at it,  but I caved. 
I really shouldn't be buying anything.  I should be doing the crank and seals on the tgb r50x I bought. I've been procrastinating, making excuses like "I need a better work area". It looks sharp,  wide thirteen inch wheels and dual disc brakes.
