No Reserve: 1985 Suzuki JR50 Coin-Operated Children's Ride

This children's ride was built by Coin Co. of St Louis, Missouri, mounting a 1985 Suzuki JR50 dirt bike atop a blue base, with motion provided by a coin-activated electric motor. The bike is said to have been displayed at a museum and features black-and-yellow bodywork, handlebars with rubber grips, wire-spoke wheels with knobby rubber tires, footpegs, a black-finished engine case, and black number plates. This Suzuki JR50 children's ride was purchased by the seller in 2023 and is now offered at no reserve in Apex, North Carolina, on a bill of sale.

Re: [emrat:15250] Selling the Explorer

Years ago, at least 12, I listed my '06 Tiger 955 on Cycle Trader.

I had two scammers both pop up woth the same story. They were buying the bike for a son in law. They were having to leave quickly as the are crew members on a ship that lays undersea cable. They had a check for more than asking. Would I take the check and send the difference to them via wire transfer? And ship the bike to their son in law in, Nigeria.

Sure I would do that, send me the checks! I thought it would be funny. Sadly no checkes were ever sent. I gave them my office address. I guess their ships pulled out before they could send the money.

I like the idea of swaping driver license info.

If I get a serious CT prospect I exchange copies of driver licenses which also helps to weed out scammers.

I don't know how to sell a bike.

Re: [emrat:15246] Selling the Explorer

Motorado sold my 2015 TrIumph Tiger 800 earlier this year. The process was fairly painless and they sold it in a few weeks for the asking price. Good experience.

The market is weird this year and you might not get much for it. Of course spring is a better time to sell a bike than winter so you might want to wait if you can.

Good luck!

Re: [emrat:15242] No Reserve: 1985 Suzuki JR50 Coin-Operated Children's Ride for sale on BaT Auctions - ending December 16 (Lot #223,712) | Bring a Trailer

You could do that Larry but the 5 year old in line behind you with a quarter in his hand might get pretty upset and go get his mom to come and give you a stern lecture about sharing.

No Reserve: 1985 Suzuki JR50 Coin-Operated Children's Ride

This children's ride was built by Coin Co. of St Louis, Missouri, mounting a 1985 Suzuki JR50 dirt bike atop a blue base, with motion provided by a coin-activated electric motor. The bike is said to have been displayed at a museum and features black-and-yellow bodywork, handlebars with rubber grips, wire-spoke wheels with knobby rubber tires, footpegs, a black-finished engine case, and black number plates. This Suzuki JR50 children's ride was purchased by the seller in 2023 and is now offered at no reserve in Apex, North Carolina, on a bill of sale.
