Ah the fabled “new bike with a big bore kit that doesn’t exist” combined with the classic sales tactic of “I’m raising the price daily” Who falls for that poo poo

Putting it on an SV should be shoot-on-sight. (Actually that does look really nice, it just made me chuckle that someone would try and make their nice polite midsize sports-tourer look like an early-90s 500cc GP bike)

That proves yet again that the full fairing gen 2 SV is the best and timeless.Patrocclesiastes posted:
Badass bike bro! I'm impressed it's making use of all those upgrades with the OEM exhaust.

It’s been a few days and I’m still kind of speechless about taking even a salvage B-King just to rip out the engine shared by a far more common motorcycle. E: these days as life gets more stable I find myself actually missing, not necessarily my KTM 990SMT, but missing what it did for me. A B-King would be overkill though, I think.

Now that I was just about ready to buy a bike, nothing but overpriced Harleys and dirtbikes on Craigslist locally, the market seems nuts. I even stopped by a couple dealers and gave them my usual VoIP number and junk email address, and they haven't been harassing me either, so they must be doing well. Ah well, need to save money anyway, think I'll put it on hold and maybe by the time things are less weird I'll have a place with a garage or living room for bike storage

Hey goons, thoughts on this? Price seems fair (2990 in good condition on KBB). Not sure how well the bike has been maintained (that said it is 1000 below KBB and high on miles), and the whole "buy it before Feb 23" excuse/dealio seems a bit shady. Everything else out here are stretched gixxers, stretched R6s, stretched busas, streched ninjas . . . hell I even saw a stretched Ruckus (wasn't for sale tho). Now and then I see Fz-07s and Mt-07s for sale, but they're usually newer and pricier than i'd like.

That ain’t high on miles. If it’s in good shape, seems like a reasonable price.

Can’t think of a reason why an otherwise stock FZ6 would be missing a front fender other than “it was crashed”.

Maybe they wanted it to look more ADV/Supermoto? But those people usually put a beak on it.

Find an on ramp and punch it in 2nd gear to make sure the geardogs aren't hosed up from being mistreated. Rest of the engine will outlast you.

I thought that's usually a pro-BLM phrase, although I haven't seen it on a bike like that before

The dripping blood effect on the words next to a playboy sticker suggests otherwise. Fascists love saying "I can't breathe" as a joke these days. To genuinely have the antithesis of ADVrider level money+bs, I'd perhaps like a Breonna Taylor livery on a hdADV with names of BLM organizations everywhere. Of course, a punisher logo would be appropriate. But only if I'd already donated 3x the price of the decals to all the BLM organizations.

I was wondering when I saw the playboy bunny but I somehow missed the blood portion of the sticker, which seems to point towards not pro-BLM

That poor bike.  Doesn't look TOO hard to unfuck since the stock bar risers are still there. I'm baffled by what a "baffled straight exhaust" is. Whatever it is, that isn't it. Maybe the rear subframe is replacable/salvagable.It's like these people have never actually seen a cafe racer and just do things to whatever is at hand. The SV isn't even a good platform for something like that.

I have never, and I mean never, seen a complete cafe racer project for sale. They just don't exist, they ALWAYS need to 'be completed' because they're the bike version of putting all your points in crafting potions or some poo poo and realising halfway through the game that finishing the playthrough is impossible.

"Cafe" is a style. Just like cars, lowered to the point that it starts to break axles, it's all about a specific look. Just like bobbers, blackouts, nakeds, choppers etc. Notice when manufacturers pick it up and begin to sell a version of it brand new, no tinkering required. But people want to tinker. Just like homeowner, proud that he changed his own faucet, people modify their cars and bikes because they want to be involved and feel good about themselves. The cafe style is the easiest thing to do. Install clip on bars with bar end mirrors, swap a flat seat, remove fenders, job's done. That dude probably has all the old parts in the box somewhere. Unless he cut the rear subframe, it's all reversible.

It seems way to bulky to ever pull off a cafe racer aesthetic to me. I think this looks good: But having a contemporaneous bike probably goes a long way in that regard. Toe Rag fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Feb 22, 2021 |

Ironic that most cafe racer wannabes will never experience this, the actual reality of actual real cafe racers. Although I do some work for a guy who sells special interest bikes and he ended up refunding a college kid his (mum's) money because there was no convincing him that it's normal for a 70's Triumph to shake like that. Same thing happened with a guy who wanted to buy his bambina until he actually test drove it and discovered what 'air cooled twin with unsynchronized gearbox' means in reality.

I saw a nice-looking cafe Honda while I was near the Soho House in Chicago (obviously) in the fancy restaurant area. It looked pretty clean, but I couldn't see where the hell they were keeping the battery. In order to make a proper cafe racer, one has to take a street bike and make it as close as possible to the racing machines of the day. So buy an RSV4 Factory and...paint the brake rotors black? Then try to do the double-ton over an urban bridge on the way from a Starbucks to a Starbucks.

Oh, so the actual modern cafe racers are ADVrider types with DAKAR-alike bikes going starbucks to starbucks.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3468324759962107/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined Always a weird feeling when you see one of your old bikes for sale again. This thing is actually worth (almost) that asking price considering I rebuilt nearly everything on it with oem parts, repaired and reinforced the cowl, and had it professionally painted. Forks are Racetech springs and emulators. The only marks on it are some scrapes on the exhaust and the scrape on the plastic gauge housing, for which I gave the new owner a perfect replacement for and he didn't replace it. Dick. Only 2k miles more on it now than when I sold it. If anyone is looking for a Hawk I know every minute detail of this one.
