 okay... first of all, that's a cb900C not F Secondly that guy has got to be off his loving rocker if he thinks it's worth any more than For what he's asking I can get an RC30 or something similarly overpriced. edit: what teh hell does bad title mean? you stole it? or is that "starts and runs bad. title."?

It probably means that the owner three owners ago signed but didn't notarise the title and he has since died, moved out of the country or whatever else you could imagine. At least that's the story I usually get.

Yeah, that guy is insane. It's horrid (I have no idea what he did to the exhaust  ) and it's worth nowhere near $2K based on the photos alone, let alone $4650.The stock 82 CB900C in two-tone wineberry red was a good looking bike. That thing is not.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:From wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CB900C quote:The Sub-transmission is used as a "jack shaft". That is, in order for Honda to use the CB900F engine in conjunction with the GL swingarm and final shaft drive, power must be taken from the CB900F's left hand power take off and transferred to the GL's right hand side final drive shaft. The "Jack Shaft" was given 2 gear ranges ranges at relatively low cost. Most CB900C riders use the 2-Speed Transmission more like 6th gear overdrive. Leaving the bike in low range while shifting through the normal 5 gears, then shifting into high range once up to speed on highway, reducing engine rpm significantly at touring speeds.

Yeah the hi-lo feature on those particular CBs is really cool. A friend of mine has a CB900 with it. It feels so wrong, yet so right at the same time.

$1500 is an exceptionally good deal on a clean, street-legal KLX650 with a 5 gal tank. It's a poor man's XR650R: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2899299546.html

Another case of adding "cafe" to the description doubles the value: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2903350792.html  Besides being clean, it's nothing super special. Basically all bolt-on or easy to swap parts. I mean he's done a good list of important mods like rejetting the carbs, tapered steering head bearings, Dyna ignition, coils and wires. Still there's probably < $1000 in parts on it including the gasket kit and tires. Maybe another $400 in powdercoating and fabrication on that tank. edit: Jesus, he didn't even grind down the frame after he cut off the passenger peg mounts. He just powdercoated right over it.

I just got a quote from Ohio to buttfuck Montana for under $500, but yeah, I too suspect closer to the $1K than $500 for sure... but I wouldn't be shocked if it could be $6-something for between major centers.

Z3n posted:drat that is a good deal. I should talk to my housemate about that.... The tank alone is probably worth 500-600 to the right buyer. Those tanks are rare as hen's teeth, and there are people out there who really like their KLXes. They're pretty fine bikes, though a manual cam chain tensioner is advised.

I was at Santa Clara Cycle Accessories this evening, picking up a part, when a scene right out of Cafe Racer took place in front of me. A shop lackey wheeled out this 1973 CB750 looking dusty but otherwise clean: No price yet, and it's basically a consignment from a car dealer that's waiting on paperwork before the shop does any work on it. So true mechanical condition is unknown. But according to the guy behind the counter, once that's done it will be worked on and put on sale. He said it would be on CL and their website. If I had space I'd buy it, also if I was unmarried.

What is this? "'84 Ninja" does not compute, nor does the 650 part. E: Okay, the '84 GPz900R was called a Ninja, but that was the first one. This looks like maybe a GPz750? Got that weird ducktail on the rear cowl. Dagen H fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Mar 16, 2012 |

Someone on the Versys forums posted about a straight up trade for a 2004 Multistrada 1000 DS with 20k miles. I know the bikes worth a few hundred more than my V. Aside from it being beautiful, anyone have any input on this bike? I'm really tempted to look into it. My main concern is maintenance... I prefer to do my own for the most part, but if I need a mechanic, am I gonna pay out the rear end to have work done on a Duc?

A shop lackey wheeled out this 1973 CB750 looking dusty but otherwise clean: It's a SOHC K3. It's a pretty good bike but far from inexpensive to keep running. If you really want a "reliable" decades old Honda CB750 you should look out out for a DOHC 1979–1982 CB750F or CB750K.

What? What? Maybe he's just confused and instead of "scooter" meant to type "limited edition race replica". Because I don't know if that's what it is, but that's the only way that I can see that thing being worth $31,000.

I was thinking, "wow, that's sexy", but then your practical comment made me realize what an idiot I am. I'm glad this forum is here. How else are people going to find out about motorcycling best practices, safety, mechanical advice and culture? It's a scary thought... Naw man, helmets will break your neck in a crash and the lower the bike, the faster it goes!
