Plinkey posted:This is interesting. I had one for my first ride. It's fun as hell, triple motors make a happy noise. Those are mechanically pretty solid but have weak wiring. Definitely need to check if the transmission problem has been fixed, there was a common issue with those gearboxes and it's a simple fix. Also, vacuum petcocks are problematic but you can bolt in manual valves from a XS650.

We're just ripping on idiot sellers. You recognized that the price was high on the SMC, besides that, you can usually get people to knock off up to 10-20% if you point out that it'll need a new chain, sprockets, tires, brake pads, etc. With newer model bikes theres a lot less to go wrong.

This is pretty tempting, they don't come up for sale too often around here and when they do they're usually $4-5k. Where does exhaust/hot cam fall into line in the mod department? I thought 3x3 and carb upgrades were usually the first steps, then cams if you wanted to spend some more. I thought exhausts were kind of a waste since you lost a lot of low and mid range which is what makes the DRZs fun to ride in the first place. http://williamsport.craigslist.org/mcy/2349739269.html But alas, my practical side will win out yet again  Yellow if my favorite color of the SMs, too.

I'd be more curious why the engine was rebuilt at 3k, although if it's lasted until now it's probably fine. That's a reasonable price on one, I'd probably try to get him down to 3k. I don't like exhausts because they tend to bias the powerband upwards, especially if not properly dyno tuned, and even if they aren't biased upwards, they're usually loud as hell, and attracting attention is the last thing you want on a supermoto because chances are you'll be doing something that's questionably legal.

Dirtbikes and sumo's should be loud for maximum hooligan enjoyment. If that attracts police attention you'll just have to be smarter about your wheelie locations.

It's like every alcohol commercial on tv now; Drink a jackass amount of our poo poo, responsibly. I don't hooligan wheelie for miles at a time on public roads while drunk often, but when I do, it's supermoto and dos equis.

He probably has a custom bike where the engine is from someone you've never heard of, the frame is a one off by some famous racer who doesn't even make frames, and the original in frame oil storage has been repurposed for smuggling copious amounts of ether. Obviously, he spends most of his time exploiting the delicate but extraordinarily profitable fluctuations of the underground ether market.

Ok someone convince me why I shouldn't sell both the DRZ and 929 and buy one of these. I could prob get ~$5k for the two bikes once I fix Dizzy. Someone tell me the downside so I don't waste more money on motorcycles.

Notice how the exhausts are pointed up at a funny angle, that's so while you wheelie everywhere you go they stay level with the road.. If you don't wheelie rain will get into them, or birds will poo poo into them. Why would they style them like that if they didn't want you to wheelie wherever you went?

UNFORSEEN DOWNSIDE TO OWNING A 690 SMC: When you fill it up with gas, and then wheelie away from the gas station, all your new gas leaks straight out of the back of the rear end-Tank filler. TERRIBLE FUEL ECONOMY.

You could lose your license. I've only seen a couple up but both where selling cause of how much trouble the owners got in. The last three times I got pulled over was on my Husky.

The other downside is the front end has real issues staying in contact with the ground whenever you go over a rise while you're on the throttle.

I bet the Odometer has rolled over and it's more like 160 k for mileage, not 60k. That said, for 750 it's worth it just to strip if it doesn't work well and ebay the farkles.

EvilCrayon posted:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2361040813.html Cool bike, the spiritual precursor to the SV650, with a lot of nice, period upgrades. Depending on the age of the tires, the current condition of the overall bike/spares, if it'll start and idle or not, I'd say it's worth anywhere from 1000-1400.
