[Tanx] [External] Re: Bike for sale in Eastern CT.

Hi Steve,
I agree! The NX will keep up where most smaller (older) bikes don’t, it’s nice and light, easy to pick up, bulletproof, cool looking… just a bit short for the taller folks though. Needs a corbin, or anything but stock, for long trips too.
Tracy

And John,
I’m fine with selling the white NX for Alex. It was registered and running a couple of summers ago. I think it would need some brake work and a carb clean (if you want to have a winter project for the two of you). It’s time to clean out some of the less used bikes I think.
