I have the chance to get this. It's a 1962 AMF w/ a tank. Thoughts? Looks like a sweet bike to me. Probably gonna lay the cash down soon, but want my RR friends opinions first. Advice/thoughts welcome...
Yeah, probably. I'll probably paint it and make it mine. The guy said he paid that much for it though, so he won't drop the price. I am just a sucker for old tank bikes. I didn't know if this model was even that desireable.
And the seat stem is the AMF style which is actually a bolt on the top of the stem with a wedge bolt inside the seat like your handlebar stem bolt. Just incase you were wondering how the heck to get that off....
$150 is a good deal for that bike most middle weights to me are worth $150 at the most. With the noteable exception of schwinn middle weights & a few others. But that bike is different & the star sprocket alone is worth $50.00 to a lot of people ..Hopefully you have bought it already Good luck
cool seat, very cool tank! the clincher is that it still has the headlite lenses!! most of those era bikes dont have them or there broke or bleached by the sun. no harm in painting this one eather. $150.....i'd buy it.
also, get a close up of the tank please!
ps. peaked fenders and cool struts.....nuff said!
