Z3n posted:400$, jesus buy buy buy. I'm sorry, but I'd say don't, unless you know exactly what you're buying. RDs have a special place in my heart, and I've been riding them for almost 3 decades. I currently sport a few LC 350s and 500 YPVS. Early 70s are the worst possibly RDs. I still love them though.

Worst case scenario he's out 400 dollars and can resell it for the same price (or maybe even more!). In a better case he has a sweet little '70s 2-stroke. What's your objection?

If you need and can handle a bike like that, do it. It's not an easy-to-wrench bike though and finding parts might be challenging. If I lived where you do, you wouldn't have received this advise, because I would be out buying a bike.

And from my bike, I can only surmise that the VF1000R would be an even bigger pain in the rear end to work on. But $850!!! edit: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/2983830497.html I so badly want this just for the colour. I'm tempted to suggest $1300 but I shouldn't be spending any more than $1000 if I want to flip it...

I just bought a 1975 CB125 for $200. "All it needs is this washer removed from the engine [guy dropped a washer in the head] and to have the engine remounted." The guy was about 3 hours from me, also had about 8 other similar vintage bikes that he had already sold the day prior .  why couldn't I be closer??!!It's got new tires, brakes are good, and it needs a new chain. If I can, in fact, get this bike on the road for less than $200 in parts, I am going to be incredibly stoked. Pictures to follow soon.

Great condition Honda FT500 Ascot in the Columbus Ohio area! $1649 http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/2992989735.html   Someone go get this, I love the styling of these, and I bet they're rare to find in this shape. Bring Back Noid fucked around with this message at 03:30 on May 3, 2012 |

Yeah, I admittedly don't know a whole lot about this type of bike, other than the 82s were thumpers, and then in 84 they put V-twins in them. Can someone provide input as to whether or not these would be a good first bike? I know that its age seems to be a suspect point, but the condition looks like it might save it on that front.

Bucephalus posted:*spends all loving day on the phone answering CL calls* Why not just say "Text me between x and x, or call after 5?", or let it go to voicemail and call them back? I mean, these are the sort of communication problems we have solutions for. Dude just sounds hilariously douchey, reminds me of a guy I knew who wanted to sell a 10 year old trackbike Honda F4 that had a number of problems, that he wanted 8k for. But he absolutely wouldn't accept less because it had HRC rearsets and engine covers.

Oh and he wants $2500 for it. Reasonable, just not do-able. I'm already breaking the bank at $2200.

People with thrashed mid 90's CBR900's still want over $3000 for them and this is far more rare. *edit* I meant CB-1 not CB400. Gweenz fucked around with this message at 22:19 on May 4, 2012 |

This one is in better condition than half of them and it's (tied for) the second cheapest at $2500. The only cheaper one was about $2000 and it looked pretty beat up. I hope he needs a speedboat or a CB project or something

I just want to say gently caress trying to answer calls from people buying stuff on craigslist. I talk on the phone all day at work and I'm perfectly comfortable with it, but 90% of all calls I get from potential buyers are either: 1. Unintelligible 2. Completely wasting my time droning on and on about something barely related 3. Lonely old people that want someone to talk to I deal in emails only and only give out my number as they're driving to my place in case they need to cancel last minute or something.

I told him I was busy and couldn't show it on the weekend cause I just wanted him to go away. Well, he came over that day and bought it in a cool two minutes. So sometimes it works out even when guy on the other side seems like a caveman.
