Thanks for the info guys, I ended up finally calling the guy yesterday and took a short drive to check the bike out. No surprises with the moto, he was only selling it because his wife wasn't comfortable on the back any longer (they are both retired) - took it for a quick spin, fell in love and agreed to buy it! Pretty drat exciting  After taking it for a quick ride, I can say it feels exactly what I always thought a motorcycle should feel like, if that makes any sense.

Alright. In my continuing quest for a new bike I jokingly sent an email to this guy (who has a '79 CB400 with an asking of $2000): CL Seller posted:Hello, I have a 1979 Honda hawk (cb400t2). Bike has always been kept in a garage and is in good cosmetic shape. I told him I was interested and wanted to see pictures. He sent me a slideshow of him rebuilding the carbs and this pic from his phone:  I told him it looked good, but I only have $900-1000 in cash right now (which is pretty much true). He then counter offered me at $1200. Is this bike worth $1200? I mean if it's perfectly mint and I could just ride it with no serious issues (forks, chain, tires, etc), it seems kinda good to me . . . thoughts?

I atribute the price to living in the northEAST (Connecticut), and scenesters driving up the CB prices. Even though the bike is actually a CM, judging by the body and the sidecover. Oh CL.

EvilCrayon posted:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/3075763742.html Bike definitely looks worth the price asked, but the.. "Call Dan 707-921-9272 gas gas beta Honda Trials Bultaco Trials Custom made metal tank,Mikuni carb. Needs nothing" ..and the environment in the pictures tells me that you might might want to go armed and bring a friend with a shotgun for looking at this bike with cash in your pocket. Or I might just be paranoid. I'll call Dan if you don't post for a couple of weeks.

Z3n posted:Vintage trials bike? I want one so bad but I'm trying to buy a WR250 here Tell me about it. I've spend a couple of months trying to find a solid XTZ 750 Super Tenere I'd like wrenching. So far more con-rod knock and piston slap than luck. Ok, the XTZ isn't actually a "trial"-bike before wrenching, but it could be.

Still don't know how I would get it plated. The vermont idea comes up but all the information I'm getting is from a few years back so I don't know if laws have changed. Seems like it will exclude a 2-stroke non-highway legal 350cc trials bike with no signals or lights...

A bike that old, if it had lights and the needed equipment, I bet you could get a plate by walking in to the dmv and feigning persistent ignorance.

My friend wants me to take a look at this later today: http://worcester.craigslist.org/mcy/3059827628.html Looks nice but what's up with the SVR paint job? Maybe the bike was down and repainted because that's definitely not a factory scheme. Has non-S handle bars so it could have possibly started life as a non-S. Not sure about the rear sets but I should mention my friend is a taller guy and a (soon to be) new rider so he'd probably benefit from the non-S rear sets being a little lower. I don't know if it comes with the side fairings seen in the background but I'd imagine it does, those are probably worth a few hundred dollars. I'd probably price this around $3000 with the side fairings. It is almost 10 years old after all. Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

I'd say it's worth closer to $2500, depending on the age of the tires, condition of the sprockets and other consumables. I'd also be curious about why it was painted, the condition of the fairings, why they put the handlebar on it, etc. Show up with cash and lowball relentlessly, that's what I'd do.

Can someone explain the RED or GREEN or BLUE or whatever thing? At first I thought it was a shorthand way of discussing the brand by their racing colors -- greens are clearly kawasakis, reds are hondas, etc. Then I thought maybe it was taking the piss out of people who don't know anything about their vehicles other than the color. But now ElMaligno's statement doesn't fit either of those situations that I can tell.

For all I know the bike might not be running because its missing both wheels, the engince, gas tank and steering stem. Or it may be the battery. Or it may be missing its keys. Or it may be our of gas. Or it may be green, Or it may be purple with pink polka dots. And so on and so forth.

Ah, okay. If you read the posting he does give more information: it's "something in the engine" and it could be anything from a loose cam chain to crashed valves.
