Ready to own a Paso again!
Hi all! Been a long while since I have been on here along with owning a Paso. I was just talking about how I would contemplate owning a Paso again (the last one I had just started becoming more of a heartache than a headache) and after browsing Craigslist I see this!!
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/4392025619.html
I looked and there is no mention of the tricolor paint scheme with production numbers... Makes me worried that this is a custom paint job? I have seen others like this before though. I haven't made contact with the owner yet, but they live nearby so I plan to see it soon. I miss owning the Paso. I appreciate any insight I can get on the paint code. Otherwise hope to be a reunited Paso owner!

Re: Ready to own a Paso again!
of course that`s a custom pant job. The decals on the front side fairings are incorrect, the stripes are missing and the rims were painted as well.

It's at least 3000 overpriced.
Re: Ready to own a Paso again!
I wouldn't worry about the decals.
If you like the lime green just go for it - I'd say around 2k if runs well.

Careful: don't forget to add in the cost of new tires. the mounted Michelins are dangerous really.

Black , really black , black as the inside of a black mans blackest bits on a dark night , in fact they are so black that when a black man looked at them he started turning white ..... yeah ( bro ), they sucked the black right offa him ( yes , it was Michael Jackson , he had heard how black my tires were and had to see for himself )
Or , my camera was set on sepia
an any how you can tell if they are ok by pulling those prickly bits that new tires have, if they just break off that's not good , but these ones here ( in the pic ) will stretch all the way to your house G , and still be black
