R5 in the MD for $650

Not mine. Looks like a really nice bike for very little money. Plus 2 spare engines.

Definitely seems worth it for only $650.
400 front end and I see some NOS dykes pistons and some boxes of rings there too.

Here's the ad info for reference, since I don't think it will be online for very long.

I reached out!

Crap that's a deal.

Even I would buy that were it on my side of the continent!

Is a deal a deal if it's thousands of miles away and impossible to score? Or just irritating...
That would be an excellent bike/pile to part out, then buy a nice one with the profit!
I just happen to have an R5 want list.

I am kicking myself for missing this. I was actually in Silver Spring MD last weekend visiting family and I could have jumped on it. Turned out I had not turned on notifications for my "Yamaha" search in the DC area so I never saw it. Posting now deleted so I guess someone got a great deal!
