I'm pretty sure that can be fixed with the $3000 you'll save. Unless there's other issues, I'd buy the poo poo out of that bike.

Actually, I really like the white as well. I've been looking at prices for white plastics for a while now, but if Hot Sauce gets this one I'd have to give up on that - it'd be too awkward having identical bikes.

Get the white plastics. I don't think there's any way I can get the WRs bars through my doorway to where I'd store a bike :( I think I'm stuck with the ninja until I move somewhere else.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

You totally can, just crank the bike sideways and turn the front wheel as it goes in and it'll easily fit through any normal (or even narrow) door.

Koruthaiolos agreed to try it out using his bike sometime soon to see if it's possible, so I'm hoping you're right. After the doorway, there is a staircase about 3 ft in which requires an immediate sharp turn. Not too sharp because there is a brick wall on the other side, creating a narrow hallway. I back it in and usually have to just put one leg up on the seat while I'm pushing it back with the other. I guess I'll find out soon, but right now I'm still having a hard time imagining how anything larger than my ninja would fit in there.

It's a sumo. Just gun it a bit, rebound off the stair, drive up the wall, and park it on the ceiling. Those white plastics look incredible. Now I want a wr again...

Or an even easier way, turn the bars, lift the front wheel, put on skateboard, wheel through doorway. Or just pop it up onto it's rear wheel turn the bars and walk it along like you used to do with your bicycle.

Yeah, that's before the 90's decals kicked in.

One of the other pros of the earlier (pre-96) ones is the ability to install a kickstarter, if you're so inclined (I think you can do it on the later ones if you swap the clutch basket or something).

I can't wait to see the kind of offers I get when I sell my ninjer. Gold bullion, guns, cars, RVs, $1800 road bicycles, a bundle of 6 iphones, a parking spot in the city are all things I've seen offered here.

Thankfully, obtaining a Title II firearm is a fairly involved 6+ month process.

I was utterly blown away by how laughably lax gun laws actually are around here when I first started collecting. There's basically zero accountability for nearly all secondhand firearms--I had a harder time to buying and selling an untitled dirt bike than any firearm :eng99:

They could be airsoft, but my first impression is that they're some lovely Hi-Point pistol with lookalike aftermarket stock. Basically airsoft quality, but fires real bullets, with predictable results

If they are some sort of carbine kit, the grips are wrong for hipoints as well, could be those fully auto BB guns, if they are actually firearms, I'm pretty sure those foregrips make those a felony.

Man, I never get gun offers, but that's probably because :canada:

I do very frequently get offers of snowmobiles, even when the ad explicity states NO TRADES, I AM LEAVING THE PROVINCE AND DON'T NEED MORE poo poo

The weirdest one yet was some dude offering me 6 treadmills. Like what the gently caress am I going to do with six treadmills? :iiam: I only have so many legs.

I still think the best offer I've gotten for a bike was a parrot... if only he had thrown in an eyepatch, that might've sealed the deal

As a bird owner and crazy bird person, that guy is an rear end in a top hat.

On another note, the only thing I've ever been offered is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50% of my asking price :smith:

Definitely stolen... a new title is fifteen bux and here in Ohio they can print one out for you while you wait. Can't see that as a legitimate reason for asking a thousand dollars less than comparable bikes.

Edit: Just message the guy saying you'll go with him to the DMV and pay for a new title before you buy the bike... I would love to see the convoluted response/explanation for why he can't do it.

Even if new titles were free you're severely overestimating the amount of effort most craigslisters would put in to gain a replacement.

I've bought bikes with lost titles before. In Washington state you can bring the seller to the DOL and they can transfer the title to you on the spot. No key though. No key, no title: might really be stolen.
