Jabs posted:2006 Scorpa SY250 Trials, uses a Yamaha 2 stroke 250 engine From someone in NJ, it's unfathomable to me that you can plate a trials bike. Or a 440 2-stroke.

Same here. How come in California of all places, home of CARB, you can plate any old 2-stroke smoke belcher, whereas in almost all of the rest of the US you have to fight tooth and nail to register bikes that were street legal from the factory?

Well you could back in 1994, or even 2000-ish if you had the hookup, until the DMV cracked down. No more bikes are being plated in CA.

That's overpriced by about $800, and that's being fair. EDIT: Needs carbs and a starter cleanup? gently caress that. That bike's a $500 or I walk bike, I don't care how pretty it is. If he can't be bothered to get it running, he's not going to get that kind of cash from anyone but a fool.

wescreweleven posted:Someone tell me if this is a good deal: Jendywo paid $250 for her XS400 Maxim. $881 all told, once you factored in tires, battery, having the carbs cleaned and a miscellaneous tuneup done, title search, title bond, registration, etc. The NADA printout she has from April 25, 2008 values the motorcycle as: Excellent condition: $1100 Very Good condition: $725 Good Condition: $400 Fair Condition: $175 That bike, in good condition, lists for $525, She got a good deal. You will not. If that thing has been in storage for 25 years, it's *not* in excellent condition. NADA Condition Guides posted:Excellent — A very correct and original (even if it shows the patina of its age) or an exceptionally well-restored motorcycle. This category is reserved for concours or show quality machines only, in which everything on the machine is fully functional and operates as new. All equipment is original, new old stock (NOS) factory replacements or uses of excellent quality reproductions parts. I'd offer *no more* than $525 for it, and expect to put that much again into it, just to get it safe to ride. NADA Condition Guides posted:Good — A machine in nice condition for its age that may need some minor mechanical attention and cosmetic rejuvenation to be a “good rider”. Bikes in this category generally look used but are still usable, whether it is for dirt or street use. Frames should be straight and unaltered. Of course, you'll get laughed at. Not that that's a bad thing - there are *WAY* better bikes you can buy if you've got $1800 burning a hole in your pocket.

wescreweleven posted:Someone tell me if this is a good deal: Assuming that's all it needs is a starter (Why would it need a carb cleaning if it starts and idles nice??  ) I say that he'll get $800 - 1000 for it, especially as it gets closer to the start of riding season. Blue Book breaks down when you deal with old bikes with low miles.That's not to say it's worth that much, but I predict he could get it. Unless you really, really want that particular model bike, I think you can do better. A bike that's been sitting that long has the potential for a lot of rubber replacement. For one thing, those tires will need to go for sure if they've been on the bike that long. I'd keep looking.

But once I got my MSF done I couldn't find any work for moneys and they all disappeared. I hope to find one some day. I even found a factory service manual online and read it for fun. I'm sad now.

Scrapez posted:http://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/1656383453.html Look for the next generation. Don't buy a RD350 that isn't YPVS and LCII. Seriously. You can get one for the price asked in that auction. There's a hell of a difference. Also stay away from the 1982-84 Brazilian version. Other than that, RD350s are great and rock solid bikes. They're also a bit dangerous. Unless you feel comfortable riding a 750cc 4-stroke don't dream about a RD350. I've owned a total of five RD and TZ350s from all generations. They're great bikes and real easy and inexpensive to maintain.

The first guy had said yes, but then decided he really wanted an RT. The guy who bought it was a returning rider. He showed up to pick up the bike with a BMX helmet...I found him a helmet to use until he got himself a real one. From what I've heard, he's darn near living on the bike.
