Norge_Shopper
Just got it firing!
I'm still shopping for a Norge, but have finally listed my GSX for sale. The selection process continues:
First question: I have watched a few YT videos about maintenance- specifically oil changes- and is it much easier access on the 8V motors? It seems like the earlier bikes needed to have a lot of plastic removed. I think I found online manuals for both and they were somewhat ambiguous when it came to oil change procedures. I read through about 3 pages of search results here and didn't find an answer.
Second question: Is it feasible for a member to look at a bike in their area? When I bought my GS1000 in Colorado, I had a forum member there look it over for about $50. The Norges I'm looking at for the most part are either up north or way out west.
Third question: I'm partial to red or blue bikes. It looks like the only red Norges were the early ones (2007-08) based on what I've seen for sale. I don't recall seeing a blue one. Is there a site that has model year color options? The 8V ones I've seen for sale seem to be either black or white, although I saw a brown one listed recently.
Thanks for any help/advice.
