On a side note, I really like putting in $4000 for max in motorcycles and trying to imagine what the 70's bikes would look like cafe'd out.

I bought one of those bikes in the late 70's for $25. In better shape.

50 years of inflation comes to about $87. So maybe that would put the two at $150 total? I'd say $200 maybe, as you surely got a hell of a deal on the bike in 1977 or whenever.

Possibly a good project? I'm making an assumption that he gives you all the spare parts as well, but the work so far looks pretty good, and for $400.

I thought about it, I guess it wouldn't be too bad, just an unfounded prejudice against anything without a chain(other than a guzzi). I might go take a look at it. For some reason I see a puzzle and just wanna start putting it back together. I kinda want a cafe project, and at 95hp this doesn't seem too bad.

I'd be tempted to try kicking over anyone cutting across campus sidewalks on a moped if I ever saw it happen, but my campus is too small for that with lots of stairs.

So, uh, the guy tells me that it the bike had all carbs completely rebuilt and syncd by a well known Honda performance shop in town. The bike has also been completely gone over by them and in great overall condition. Other than the $$$ and the wife probably killing divorcing me, what is the consensus on CBXs in general?

Basically this is my consensus:

Since the carbs are good for a while, which is the worst part of the bike, it sounds totally worth it.

Is this a good idea? The paint looks drat near new, but I'll have to see when I look at it. Anything to look out for?

How come every time I want to buy a bike, it's in pieces?

Edit: I think I could deal with the no title scenario if that issue comes up. It seems to be a deal-breaker for a lot of people.

I understand it's the going rate, but asking for that with no gauges, no maintenance done in the last 2 years (belts need to be done if they've been sitting for an extended period without use), no idea of why or how it was crashed, etc.

Oh, didn't read the ad well enough. :downs: Belts are ~$80 if you do it yourself, dunno if you'd need to recheck valves and what the prior crash damage might have done. Hopefully it wasn't bouncing off the limiter for a minute.

Some should also remind him the bike's "12 YEARS OLD NOT 120 YEARS OLD". You'd have to be extremely lucky to even get MSRP out of it.

Found this looking through the barter section. I have no clue why anyone would spend $70,000 on this poo poo when much better looking bikes are usually in the $20,000 range. Way to pay for a name, bro.
