Gnaghi: Jan 25, 2008; Is this a good first bike?

Making me miss my VFR and now this.

How about a brand new VFR for $10 less?

Speaking of maintenance free Hondas, when I had the VFR I once mentioned to a co-worker that I was worried about the oil leak. He told me that a bike like this should fine, it can run without oil for like 20 minutes.

I'd consider a fly and ride for that white hotness VFR, where's it located?

Wharton in Northern NJ. It's supposed to be sunny all week here!

From someone in NJ, it's unfathomable to me that you can plate a trials bike. Or a 440 2-stroke.

It got flagged and removed pretty quick, probably by the last jackass to claim his bike fell over.

I had some wobbly moments when I had the VFR, backing it out of the shed in the morning still half-asleep. The Ninja is so much easier, and 10 years lifting weights really comes in handy.

Is this the fabled Metropolis?

That thing has been on the market off and on for the last two years. He's only dropped the price 5k in that time.

Must be a hard bike to sell. Dude needs to take it to Cali

Someone should direct him to the lifted golf cart guy.

Uh, I don't think you can do this?

You could lose your license. I've only seen a couple up but both where selling cause of how much trouble the owners got in. The last three times I got pulled over was on my Husky.

Guy hasn't contacted me

My mom had a one of these years ago. I rode it twice and it was the shittiest-feeling, slowest, most uncomfortable bike that constantly rammed my balls into the fuel tank even when I was WOT. I looked retarded everywhere I went and even though none of my friends knew a single thing about bikes they still all knew how lovely this one was and made fun of me constantly. I had no other bike at the time and still parked the thing rather than ride it. It's really a lovely bike.

No worries, it's good manufacture.

High Quality Manufacture
Not all trikes are made the same. Our competitors will use cheap material, which will in turn lead to bad quality, frequent service and maintenance issues. THe manufacture of this parituclar trike, is the only one in the U.S. who can make this Viper Style Trike Scooter. Good quality, well built, great on corners and fast speed makes this trike truly one of a kind

RC's aren't much faster than a more modern 600 supersport, just heavier.

Then why does everyone ask $5-6k for one from 2000? Reading wiki is seems they won the WSBK twice and are geared wrong for street use. Not exactly amazing.

They're actually in line with everything else around me. You wouldn't even know it's winter by the insane asking prices here.

Case in point from less then an hour ago. Parts bin stunt bike for $4k, what a deal.

Not to mention it's lighter and more powerful than the cross-plane R1 that came after it.

Ah Yamaha, the Mazda of the motorcycle world.

Over in BFC they call kids "a million-dollar black hole" so he should just keep the bike anyway since 12k is a drop in the bucket compared to that.

Found this the other day, a drat good deal but way too far for me. It looks like he lowered the display price to $3250 while the ad itself is $3500.

I just want to say gently caress trying to answer calls from people buying stuff on craigslist. I talk on the phone all day at work and I'm perfectly comfortable with it, but 90% of all calls I get from potential buyers are either:

1. Unintelligible
2. Completely wasting my time droning on and on about something barely related
3. Lonely old people that want someone to talk to

I deal in emails only and only give out my number as they're driving to my place in case they need to cancel last minute or something.

I had what seemed like a complete idiot texting me the other day at work over a guitar amp I was selling, asking me stuff like "wats the lowest u go?" and "???" when I didn't respond right away. I told him I was busy and couldn't show it on the weekend cause I just wanted him to go away. Well, he came over that day and bought it in a cool two minutes. So sometimes it works out even when guy on the other side seems like a caveman.
