My buddy just picked up a '95 Virago 535 with 750 miles on it for about 2k. Is he going to kill himself on it? He's really excited about it.

No, but he might consider killing himself for spending 2k on a virago. (I kid, but that sounds pretty overpriced for something so ugly and slow)

Any thoughts on the BMW K75 as a 2nd bike - not necessarily this one but more the bike in general?  http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/mcy/3685172499.html I like how it looks, the power level, the expected reliability, and the quirkiness of the longitudinal triple. Will it be hard to find parts? Can you put decent tires on it?

I recently got an 88 K75C (no lower fairing, higher bars) with 15k on it for $2200. What bike are you coming from? It's a nice bike, not super fast, and it is a little top heavy, but the engine is smooth as silk. The transmission on the other hand is kinda clunky, but after a while you get use to it. Also it doesn't seem super tall, but it keeps my feet at the same level as my old KLR, there are low seats that alot of people seem to like available. Ask him when the last time the splines were lubed, clutch side and output shaft. It's the only thing that really ever fucks up on these bikes, but when it does its expensive to fix. Most people do it bi-annually or every 20k. This forum is kinda slow but has very knowledgeable people. http://www.motobrick.com/ Check the workshop section to see the kinds of problems people are having, most of them aren't that bad. Also this bike shares an amazing amount of parts with BMW cars of the same age, I just fixed a leaky oil pressure switch with the same thing from a 84 318i, which was cheaper than the bike part and my local Autozone had it in stock. edit: looks like that bike has the low seat on it already

gently caress, a thousand dollars? Uugghhhh. Those are beautiful bikes. Here, those things go for 2k+ on craigslist and I've seen more than one at $4000 (idiotic seller of the "if you don't want to pay I will just keep riding!  type but still).Well, if I lived in Ireland I'd be all over that.

It handles like a 25 year old fatty to be honest. It's not something you're going to be tearing up the twistys with, but it is rock solid on the freeway, and it's enjoyable on slower roads. I think you would enjoy it commuting or touring. As far as suspension mods, some people put a k1100 (I think I'm on my phone) front end that has nicer forks, bigger brakes and you can run a bigger tire. As far as the rear, the paralever upgrade is the way to go. In its stock form it's quite manageable, you just have to remember it is an older bike, and it's not a racing bike. All that being said, I love mine and I'm going to ride it until it dies, which may be at 200k, as a lot of these bikes make it that far if you keep up with the final drive maintance.

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/3700270116.html I'm sure there's a very expensive and disappointing story behind this bike. Edit: On second glance it looks like someone won it in some kind of contest.

 Asking $5500 with 12k miles, just had 12k mile service. Realllly tempting but having two bikes right now seems like a bad idea and I've only had my ZX14 for a few months so I'd hate to sell it already. These things are impossible to find, much less so for such a low price.

I thought the 690SMC was the ultimate supermoto that didn't involve engine rebuilds every 5 miles?

Woops, well I'm glad I didn't buy it now. In other news the local dealership had their CB1100 out on the floor today. The red paint is much better in person. I sat on it briefly and it felt nice, but hard to say whether I'd regret it without being able to test ride. hayden. fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Mar 29, 2013 |

slidebite posted:^^ don't forget "some lubricants" The R1200c is an oddball bike. It's got a bit of a cult following, but on the surface, it's not much to write home about. 61 hp and 560 lbs. It's literally a BMW Harley that has real suspension and brakes. Price isn't bad, but I'd be curious what the "ABS issue" actually is. I've actually kind of looked at them on and off as a potential cruiser, it's certainly not something you'd see coming the other way very often, ~4k or so seems like a fair price. Kind of a hard sell when you can get an R1150R naked with ~80hp in the same year range for about that price, or spend a little more and start finding R1200Rs with 115hp.
