Good thing it isn't closer and original colors. Yes, I know it's archaic by todays standards and rides like a lumber wagon, but drat I'd love one as a toy.

RC's aren't much faster than a more modern 600 supersport, just heavier.

They were great bikes when they came out, and are now ok bikes. The prices are pretty far out of line with reality though.

They're actually in line with everything else around me. You wouldn't even know it's winter by the insane asking prices here. Case in point from less then an hour ago. Parts bin stunt bike for $4k, what a deal.  http://cnj.craigslist.org/mcy/2836297318.html

Are you telling me prices go UP in the spring? Dudes around here are asking half again what the same bikes are worth out west. No guy, I don't think 4000 is a fair price for your "beautifully maintained" ninja250 with the scrapes on the muffler that you "bumped" in the "garage" and therefor needs a new headlight; I really don't.

Stunters seem to think that a homemade 12 o'clock bar, "professionally smashed" tank and relocated oil pump are something that people who aren't stunters care about, let alone don't laugh at

I found a nifty site that's been helping me look at local bikes. http://www.bikefinds.com/ is pretty awesome. It checks CL/ebay for the bike you want and give you a list of all the bikes on the different CL sites and eBay in one spot. I'm eyeballing this right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180811373529#ht_500wt_1182 I would rather get on cheaper but that seems really good to me (barring it going way up...). Any thoughts?

When my vstar lost a gearbox bearing, it dumped shavings into the oil and made a heck of a noise that you might interpret as tapping or knocking.

Hello cyclists! I want a small, easy bike to wee about the neighborhood on Saturdays. I have no desire to ever enter a highway. Is this bike an ok deal/idea?  http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/2805518870.html

Z3n posted:How mechanically inclined are you? At this point I think it would be fun to work on it. My understanding is that most people lose this feeling after a short while. If this happens, I can still occasionally go out to the garage, drink beer on it, and make vroom noises. To be more serious: I have read a few guides and watched a few youtube videos on motorcycle carburetor disassembly. While it looks time consuming, it does not seem that difficult. It appears easier than working on a car, for example. However, I am of course just an internet looky-loo, so my assumptions on this motorcycle's repair complexity mean very little, and I will gladly take any advice given here. edit: Thanks friend! I will keep looking. Captain Pike fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Feb 15, 2012 |

Not a good deal, maybe for $500 or 600. There are plenty of nice thumpers in better condition for around $1500. If you can and you're not 5ft tall, I'd spring for a 500 or 600. Protip: Yamaha XT600s are underappreciated on the market, so look out for those. Solid bikes.

Do it, just learn to start your kicks at TDC and kick all the way through the stroke. If you stop short you're liable to get a knee to the chin on those old 500s.
