If it doesn't at least run, don't bother. If it won't idle, that's acceptable, as long as it'll rev cleanly. If he can't get it to start, walk, you don't want a non-runner as a starter bike unless you'd rather wrench than ride.

It's hilariously underpowered and hilariously overpowered all at the same time, completely absurd. It makes me wish we had more turbo motorcycles.

UM sold hyosung bikes as well as their own, but they ironically sold better under the UM branding than the Hyosung branding. They closed a little while back, so I wouldn't buy one of their bikes. I wouldn't have bought one if they were still around, but now that they're gone it's a definitive no.

The small, sane part of my head listens to what blaster of justice says, and remember stories of screwdrivers longer than your leg needed to service the inside carbs. And I know that I wouldn't like the fact that it can only run old, lovely tires, and that I have no money to be buying projects if I ever expect to race again. I know there'd be at least a grand in carb rebuild kits, fluids, and tires before it would so much as turn a wheel, and that for around 3-4k I could totally have a nicely running CBX already to go. But goddamn if I don't want it.

Jabs posted:$2800 for a CBX you brought back from 7 years of storage **attempts to corner** **frame bends in half from the grip on modern tires and wheels** **diverts to a nascar course now that the bike will only turn left, dies*** Nah, I've already figured there's only one way I can buy a CBX. It needs to have a spondon frame, 3.5/17 front and a 5.5 or 6.0/17 on the rear, and it must sound like the fist of god. Oh, and a proper set of handlebars for street hooning. Goddamn, gently caress that kid.

frozenphil posted:I need a lot of people to tell me what I already know so I don't do something dumb. Man that's a good deal on an RC51. They're pretty much the best sounding twins ever (sorry spiff). Built to dominate what honda felt was unfair displacement rules in WSBK back in the day. Awesome bikes, a pretty unique piece of motorcycling history. I'd go ride it because they have a reputation for being hideously uncomfortable, and it really belongs on a track, so I don't know if it'll be worth it if you don't want to take it to the track and find it super uncomfortable. But if you can live with the ergos, it's a fantastic bike.

Plinkey posted:I know nothing about it either, from wiki its a Czech company that basically is falling apart since the fall of the soviet union. You know, there's a point where I would have thought that doing that to a bike is blasphemy, but as I get older I realize that there are some bikes that have to be enjoyed sparingly because parts are simply not available for them. The old CX650 turbo that I rode is kinda like that...you may as well only pull it out when you're going to play on a nice day because someday it'll grenade and it'll be a bitch and a half to find parts to rebuild it. And it lets people see and enjoy bikes they might not otherwise have a chance to ride. I bet that thing is a blast. I financed my racing career on a 0% APR credit card, it can't be a worse idea to finance a Jawa on one.

I got an '82 KZ1100 for $700, it had a hole in the exhaust but everything else was great on it, an '02 SV 650 with 20k with a good frame, but beat up from being dropped for $1300 and currently an '07 R1 with 5k for $2500. Blown head gasket, but that wasn't too tough to replace. SF has pretty much the best bike market on the west coast. Even better than LA, IMO.

Blaster of Justice posted:That's loving insane. You can buy one in Europe for a third of that price (mine). Don't do it though - you'll regret for a lifetime and then some more. Worst best MC ever. If you're challenged to understand the concept of "mixed feelings", the CBX1000 is the right bike to teach you. From how you describe it, I imagine that I could recreate the ownership experience of a CBX by looping that video of one doing a flyby over and over while reaching into a vat of rusty, sharp motorcycle components with a blindfold on.

Then as luck would have it, this bad boy popped up. That seems high, but I know island prices are quite a bit higher than mainland ones. They're awesome, bulletproof bikes though, can't go wrong with them at all.

Lord Master posted:He updated Its a lovely picture of the metal wrap. I'd show up and offer 500$. The oil leak could just be a leaking crush washer, it could be some other stuff...worst case you could part it out or pick up a cheap second bike and make one good one out of 2 bad ones. I second what hayden. says and I'd say that if you can start and run it from cold you're probably good to go. 700$ motorcycle, expect to have to put some work into it.

TheCosmicMuffet posted:You don't hate anything. Quit pretending. You just ran out of garage space or your muffin caught you going to the craigslist ad and suspended your access to the joint account. No I really don't like 2 strokes. I mean, I wouldn't kick one out of the garage if it showed up, but a 2 stroke dirtbike is not on my list of what I want to buy. I need to ride more just to confirm, but I do not like how they make power, I don't like the sound, and I don't like the smell. An RD/RZ 350-400 would be the only exception. And even then, I'd just tolerate the 2 stroke-ness of it. I started riding after the 4 strokes started in in MotoGP, to me the 2 strokes just sound like lawnmowers. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/2088710457.html I'd buy the poo poo out of that though, if I had the money now.

CBXes seem to range from around 1500$ at a great deal for a runner that's rough around the edges cosmetically, to 8k+ for a completely pristine, never restored, low mileage, etc. one. It's one of those things where it's completely dependent on the situation. I'd probably shoot for around 2k, personally. That might be considered a heinous lowball, but I'm an rear end in a top hat and I figure at 85k the bike has already seen quite a bit of use.
