That guy posted about building a chopper in the "what bike should I buy" thread, and someone reflexively replied "dr650" without reading. Now look where we are.

https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2019-KTM-790+Adventure-5019831806 Please tell me this is a terrible idea? I took a look at it last week (the battery was dead and tires dangerously low so no test ride or start up). The mech at the shop said that they've got a new battery coming in this weekend and new tires are going to be mounted on it. Story on the bike is that a guy rode the TaT on it to get to his new home and then sold it to get a car. I live just down the street so I'll be able to poke around on it as much as I need to before buying. Also, based on the miles it needs it's first valve clearance check in the next couple thousand miles which seems to be around 500 at an actual dealer (dunno if this is really doable at home on a KTM)

holy moly. I rented one of those and rode the CO BDR with it. I did some unholy things to that bike. honestly it performed admirably in every task including sending it on paved mountain twisties. Even took it to Moab and rode it on some single track which is extremely ill advised but made it through anyway. after 7 days nonstop. me and that bike had shared some moments. I will tell you that the engine compartment is cursed and even basic stuff like an oil change is a all day affair. its KTM though so you should know that already. also the gear box is kinda poo poo and requires some force and thats saying something since my regular ride is a drz400

I have been on the lookout for one after that trip. but at the same time. my entire stable of bikes is ten year old suzkis and its kinda a breeze working on them. I could tell right away that anything that breaks on that KTM would be expensive and a pain in the rear end. so if you’re cool with spending money at your local moto mechanic or are a weirdly good backyard mechanic. be prepared for some fun times and a lot of cursing with that particular machine. still would tho

Seems suspiciously cheap. Normie models iirc tend to cook the shock. tft display water ingress issues is still a thing If it doesn't sound like a bag of broken glass and hammers, run it. Acquaintance of mine has(d?) one with 6k miles and it sounds worse than my 75k mile 20 year old ktm. The air compressor is kinda hilarious and dumb. I've done minor things on one and they're kind of miserable to work on. 175-230 min is the book time for the 18,600mi service. (the 950 has a 320min book interval for the same service, it's spot on if not a little low)

You can find most the user insights here: https://790adventure.net/ The price is reasonable considering the mileage, it’s an S model, and the 890 and now 990 models drop prices on the lower number bike.

Marketplace seller posted:One unknown technical issue (does not impact performance) is the tach… I’m yet to figure out the problem, but the miles roll quicker than the distance. Says 18k miles but it’s definitely less. I bought it with 4K miles and maybe put another 4K.

Bad news folks:  https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2010-Ducati-STREETFIGHTER+1098S-5029200838 I don't see why you would spend the money to repaint rather than lower the price.

I don’t get why people get the SM version of a dual sport and then try to make it into a crappier version of its original format, but other than that it looks ok enough. The skidplate looks like it might be ebay, but it could be fine.

Anything on that list could be bad if it’s low quality and/or poorly installed, which seeing the ADV tires tells me, yes, that absolutely is the case.

bizwank posted:Adding the brand name for only the luggage tells me the rest of the mods are probably ebay garbage All the mods look to be Tusk, which is the house brand for Rockymountain ATV MC, so they're probably just ok, but not total garbage based on what I see about them on the goog. But honestly may be a little too pricey compared to just trading in my MT03 to the dealer and buying new.

That guy bought the most expensive, lowest KLX300 variant only to raise it up, put cheaper tires on it, and turn it into the second most expensive variant. Based on that alone, that person is a moron and shouldn't be trusted with that bike.

Gullible fools who don't know any better, or people who know exactly what they are buying and were planning on running fake plates anyway. e: I will add that lost title is quite possible with old poo poo that's been rotting in a field since the 70s, but ain't nobody "losing" a title for a late model bike and not going through the trivial effort to get a replacement. opengl fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Apr 4, 2024 |

People are out of their minds with the title poo poo. It's so common that if they don't specify in the post I just automatically assume it's a lien at best. How can we make Craigslist the go to for buying/selling motorcycles again? I have recently decided I need another bike which is why I'm trawling Craigslist regularly again and stumbling across these gems, and have been angrily resolved that if I want to find anything in the next year I probably need to use Offerup/FB marketplace. Craigslist's 2000's era interface remains still unbeatable for actual ease of use and lack of rage induction.
