The_Raven posted:A couple of things to be certain of are that the bike has the stock airbox and the exhaust is in good shape. Any intake and/or exhaust changes or damage will cause you endless pain. I'm speaking from experience. If the PO put pod filters on, run. If there are aftermarket slip-on mufflers and the bike hasn't been re-jetted, run. That aside, they're great, simple bikes. Dodged both of these bullets and am a happy owner of a finely aged '82 KZ440 LTD. Thanks for the warnings!

A 10 year old, heavy Vtwin, that would get blown into the weeds by just about any modern 600, and people are still asking for 4k for a crash damage, 5 years of track use, without the OEM stuff to get it looking pretty again, with a lovely paintjob.

Z3n posted:Guy hasn't contacted me My mom had a one of these years ago. I rode it twice and it was the shittiest-feeling, slowest, most uncomfortable bike that constantly rammed my balls into the fuel tank even when I was WOT. I looked retarded everywhere I went and even though none of my friends knew a single thing about bikes they still all knew how lovely this one was and made fun of me constantly. I had no other bike at the time and still parked the thing rather than ride it. It's really a lovely bike.

I know we talked about that overpriced turbo last month, but real gold? If I didn't just buy a new bike I'd probably be seeing him with $2K cash in hand. quote:I AM ADVERTISING THIS ONLY FOR THE OWNER.

77 GS550 $1000 obo new back tire, just rebuilt carbs, custom paint job, custom seat, new battery, runs great needs tlc 1000 o.b.o http://imgur.com/a/LxMig How bad of an idea would it be to buy this for a first bike beater? I'm mechanically capable (e.g. I've rebuilt car engines), with a garage full of tools. Also what would be a fair offer? Tanks dented, missing side panels. Not seeing the "custom" paint, unless he means the rattle can he used.

quote:Meet "The Beast" this has been my summer project of love. She's angry and full of fight. But I need a new car and she has to go. Bought her for $4000 at the beginning of summer and put a $1000 into her in upgrades and tires. She has almost all the upgrades an R1 needs to get up and go faster. The sprockets are lower by 2 teeth in the front and I believe is up 1 or 2 teeth in the back. Custom exhaust that no one has. Tires are almost brand new($450). Custom headlamps, 4 halogen projector lamps custom made, no one has ($500). Racing clutch and shifter.... custom race rotors were pricey as well with steel breaded hoses. Stainless polished velocity stacks inside with a K&N air filter!!! With a power commander III that was recently tuned for all these upgrades so it runs like a BEAST!!!!! FAST bike, super fun! But like I said... really in need of a car and super sad to see her go. No other bike on the road like her. Approximately 9,600 miles clean title.
