Is it worth the $650 that I can get it for?
My other option is being forced to by a 1985 Honda Rebel CMX250 from my dad, which is in comparable shape. I have ridden that bike for quite some time, and am aching for something with more power between my legs.
I appreciate any help that is given.
Thanks

You could buy the Rebel and unload it on eBay for a profit.
That might not be a bad idea.... Rebels must be popular because they look (sorta) like the bigger cruisers, but without the weight and price. Good for getting a motorcycle license.
C. Tupper- do you call your clothes "Tupperware"? Haha, bet you never heard that before, huh?

$650 for a strong running 550LTD sounds like a fair deal. Just be sure you're OK with the unusual engine noises you hear. The chain should have SOME slack in it. You should be able to move it about an inch (bottom to top) when you push it up and down. It will be looser in some spots than others, so you have to move the bike some to try the chain in different positions. If the PO has been running with a ton of slack, it's bad for the chain, and the sprockets.

With gas prices soaring and more people looking for bikes, the prices of even the older bikes have gone up accordingly.
$1.25 to $1.50 a cc would be a more realistic view - depending on location of course. Major metropolitan areas will usually be more than rural areas - the coasts are usually higher than the middle of the country....
it boils down to supply, demand, & location.
as an example - i paid $500 for my 550 two years ago - could easily get about $1000 for it today - and i live in a more rural area in central Wisconsin.
