Trade my Motorcycle for a boat?
I Know this is not a classified adds site, but I am not wanting to sell or buy anything. I want to TRADE.
I have a 2000 Honda RC51 Race motorcycle (1000cc) That is currently in street trim. I also have a bunch of spair parts for it. The bike was pro built and tuned for compitition racing. Yes it was raced. It is not for a beginner rider. It is to difficult to price out and sell everything separatly, so I would rather skip it and just offer it as a trade for what I now want.
A SEA DOO Power boat. (Challenger or Sportster)
Is there anyone who would like to trade their Sea Doo Boat for a Sport Motorcycle?
I am dead serious about this.
I have almost $30,000 us dollars inversted in this machine and am willing to let it go for a new or lightly used powerboat.
I grew up in Florida, and miss playing in the water. Now I live in Illinois, and only have a few small lakes nearby. A small Jet boat would be perfect for the area and activities I injoy doing in water.
good luck
