The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

The sidecar was used to carry the PO's wife's corpse on a 10,000 mile trip round North America.

Claims to be moving out of state in the ad, I could see someone looking at that and going "eh, whatever" while loading the U-Haul.

Great, means no food to clean out of the sidecar.

They're just trying to avoid the $5 fee for a vehicle listing. My local craigslist always has a bunch of them in the parts section.

Go for it, you could sell the sidecar and associated hardware alone for probably $5K and still have a goldwing left over to ride

That ad screams "scam" but reverse searching the image didn't pull anything up, so who knows. Even if it doesn't run it'd be a steal, but it will take weeks/months to sell off that sidecar if you wanted to part things out

Nah, someone on a goldwing forum or on ADVRider (if you can go there and not become a radical conservative) would snap that right up

There is no such thing as a working side car for less than $3,000, let alone with a motorcycle attached. It's a scam

Look at this rockstar 883 for sale near me. $1500. Apparently runs kind of lovely on the incredibly short header and of course, no title.

1. Orange is an unflattering colour
2. They have removed the rear guard and done nothing with the frame awkwardness back there
3. For some reason they have left the factory muffler support on there and painted it orange, it makes it look like it has a weird swingarm
4. Dumb tyres
5. hosed up horrendous rear shock abomination situation
6. My eyes, they're bleeding

$10K Grom

Still have stock parts that will go with sale.

Which include seat, blinkers, ect. All have been upgraded.

Built the bike and my husband bought me a better toy thats of more interest to me. While this is certainly fast, I enjoy my new CBR 1000 better.

Unbelievable torque, the bike does 65 mph with no worries with my 250 pound husband riding it. With me 75 mph cruising. I built this with the frame brace that you need and every top end part that can go in it and have it still be reliable. The motor has been professionally tuned and runs great. The shocks have been filled with heavier oil and adjusted to easily take 250 lb riders. Must ride this to compare it to a normal one. Truly a smooth riding, quick, good looking bike.

I have over 4 grand in receipts from every part on this bike. I have a 1500 receipt from the machinist. I have in this what im asking. This is one of the fastest grooms out there with all reliable enhancement upgrades.

How come people think that what they invested in a bike, also equals the value?

If anything the owner reduced the value imho.
I know that every cent i invest in one of my bikes, is a cent i'm not gonna see back. Not that i'm planning on getting rid of either anytime soon.

I’m sure Grom to CBR1000 is exactly what Honda intended for upgrade paths. I wonder if Honda marketing people see this befuddled. Just kidding, Honda marketing is just a red cutout of a motorcycle that has a big office with a view.

It's a whole lot of effort to turn thing into other thing, when the right answer was probably get different thing closer to other thing.
