I called the guy but unfortunately I couldn't see him before I left town for the night. I'll try to see it tomorrow. I hope he has a proper registration for it.

Yeah i know it's technically a scooter but somehow I feel that this doesn't belong in the "motorcycles" section. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/4421860665.html

the only issue I have with my local classifieds is people have no idea how to categorize their bikes. It's very easy to follow: code:slidebite fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Apr 30, 2014 |

Also drat, six carburetors to sync? drat, 632 pounds dry? drat, twenty-four loving valves to adjust? I do love that era of bikes when modern electronics started to take over from old technologies, though, and you got such lovely terms as "pointless ignition"

630 lbs is pretty normal for a sport-tourer, twenty-four valves to adjust still sounds better than a VFR / desmo job, and you guys are completely missing the point of the CBX if you think any of these data points are relevant

Oh god, a second one. Looks like it's the same guy but a different bike. Low fender and different tires. It's a sign from the gods. I've gotta see this guy today. slidebite fucked around with this message at 14:23 on May 2, 2014 |

That rear tire looks deliciously oversized. Get a $20 enduro fender for it and get it stuck in the mud, you know you want to.

Wow, that's a lot of FZR bits. If I was closer I'd have a pickup of FZR right now. How's this for a pick up and fix then flip project (assuming I can get it for about $500)? http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/mcy/4440025077.html Seems like there are a few motors on eBay for about $600 shipped. I'd think I could get around 2k for it once it's fixed now that it's spring.

You may be able to get $500 profit on it, but I'd wager it needing more than an engine (plus the oil and oil filter it would need) if the owner let it go without oil.

Hmm one has the full original fairings + a second set for the track, worked forks, Ohlins shock, aftermarket pipe, steel brake lines, three sets of wheels, everything looks mint, etc etc The other one doesn't have a complete set of fairings at all, is all mix and match, has a mismatched engine, no pipe, doesn't even run, and is in Cali with title fuckery. Yep, I can't see why those wouldn't be about the same price

Snowdens Secret posted:Hmm one has the full original fairings + a second set for the track, worked forks, Ohlins shock, aftermarket pipe, steel brake lines, three sets of wheels, everything looks mint, etc etc Yay, that's like 1500 bucks worth of poo poo picked up from ebay, forums, or craigslist over the course of 6 months. So now you're at 2500 bucks, rather than the staggering 5k that you'd pay for that 400. Not to mention if you wanted a real trackbike, 5k would buy you literally any previous gen 600 under the sun that would outperform it by a factor of about 5. Spiffness sold his GSX-R600 with full suspension, a built engine, a shitload of extras, etc, for 4500 bucks. Also: quote:Note that the bike originally came from Seattle and is now in Anchorage, Alaska. Shipping to Seattle is approximately $300 and crating is $50. So yeah, just send the dude 5300 bucks and you too could own a nearly 25 year old lovely 400 that was marginal even for it's time period. The mismatched engine is also much more desireable, as the advantage to the 400 is the aluminum frame (600 had a steel frame) and the 400 engine is just a sleeved 600, exhaust or other mods on the 400 are totally pointless vs. the 600 engine you could have. So no, it's a loving terrible deal by any measurement of anything, owned by some old fart who thinks his 25 year old track hooptie is worth anything over maybe, MAYBE 3k. I mean, I guess I should be thankful that people poo poo the bikes I look for based on silly bullshit like that cause it's what keeps me in good deals on bikes, but it's sort of crazy what people consider "valuable". A giant pile of shiny poo poo is still a pile of poo poo. Z3n fucked around with this message at 23:27 on May 3, 2014 |
