Good thing he put all those keywords in, it got caught by three of my hottest RSS queries; "VTEC HATCH BUBBLE", "*MASS TALENTS* BITCHES!J$" and "diesel dually jet ski". Search and ye shall find.

Upon reading the description I figured he had taken the motor and possibly swingarm off the bike and mated them to some sort of frame. I lost my poo poo when I got to the last picture and there's the ZX10 in all it's glory, tank pad included.

"Deep dish" wheels are wheels with a significant negative offset so there's a big open space inside the wheel. The wheels on the front of that... thing are negative offset, and the keywords do go "WHEELS RIMS DEEP DISH"

The opposite of this are wheels with a big positive offset so the middle of the wheel is flush with the tire sidewall, like the hellaflush cars do.

um... probably a good bit less than $6k. jesus.
Cop bikes get ridden hard and put away wet. After 56k mi that bikes is probably going to need some TLC

It's retarded how slowly Evo road kings depreciate, they are a desirable model.

Cop bikes pretty much see endless idling and parading, it's pretty hard on them. So yeah I bet that one will need some attention.

Well, it's 56K KMs, about 35K Miles.

Probably still too much IMHO but I haven't seen a cop bike for sale for some time.

A high school friend of mine's dad had one, it was pretty sweet. Big motor but still had a kick start and I watched it catapult him one time. The bars were also too high, a few inches over legal, lol.

Someone in Seattle rescue this bike

2002 Suzuki SV 650S, 10k miles - $2000 (Snohomish) posted:

Hi. Your looking at before and after photo's. My Suzuki SV650S was stolen on the 4th of July, and when I got her back, she had been poorly painted red, the ignition was punched, they had to force open the gas tank to fill her up (you'll see the chip in the picture), and both front blinkers are hanging by their cords. As my apartment complex is not a safe place to keep her, I am keeping it in my brothers garage in Snohomish.

The bike was in excellent condition. It has incredibly low miles: 10,002. A little bit of silver lining: it still starts with a screwdriver. I simply don't have the funds to fix this bike up. KBB estimates this bike at $2,435 (but this estimates an additional 30k miles, so in optimal condition, she's worth a great deal more). She is a fantastic bike for someone that wants to do the work themselves.

The paint seems to be very superficial, as bits are already shipping off, not damaging the blue underneath. Title in hand. Amazing Deal! = $2,000.

A small repair shop has this Bandit for sale. It has had the price dropped twice in less than a month, so I imagine the seller is wanting to move it. Assuming I could get them down to $1500, would this be a decent deal?

Don't know about the market where you live, but if I could get that for $1500 here I'd flip it if nothing else. That's a good deal, assuming the seller isn't full of poo poo.
