The 500t isn’t a bad bike, and I’d definitely buy that pile of junk for $200.

Tell me why I don’t want a VFR on the east coast.

Because I do want one.

Edit: this one:

Depends on where you are I think. Uncle Henry’s (weekly printed classified ads) and craigslist are still going pretty strong here in Maine especially among the older crowd, which is basically the entire state.

I don’t need or want a Ducati Scrambler but that’s almost 50% off the new price for a bike with 1500 miles :stare:

I have no need for a second half-faired sportbike but this is super tempting:

(Actually an ‘02 sv650s with 1,400 miles on it for just under $2k)

Yesterday I tried to buy a not running ‘72 Norton Interstate for $1500 so I could trade it for a friend’s beautifully maintained CB500T. The guy who replied to the ad just before I did bought the Norton :(

That’s my sad story for the day.

Not great ads, but who are these people?

2014 TW200 with 46 miles on it:

2013 Vespa with 1 mile on it:

I can’t imagine owning something for seven years and never using it.

Can’t think of a reason why an otherwise stock FZ6 would be missing a front fender other than “it was crashed”.

1992 Harley-Davidson custom
$6,000
1992 Harley Davidson BMW. NOTHING original or stock BUT runs and handles GREAT . About 150 K on it the speedometers breaks around 50 K. This has a Fairing from a 1977 BMW R100RS, Yamaha mirrors, custom air filter assembly so it doesn't hit your leg, center stand that can be put down while sitting on it, modified gas tank for an extra 2 gallons, 2013 Dyna front end, shift linkage from a high performance go-kart, Buell brake pedal, off road front fender, rear fender is rolled aluminum, after market run signals that cascade, Kawasaki police saddle bags and I have the original rear fender and rear seat.
The previous owner diamond cut the heads and other stuff on the inside because it goes VERY good.
I was coming out of the shop and a man told me "That is the most awesome motorcycle I have ever seen." That is TWO absolutes in ONE sentence. I am selling because I am moving onto a boat and going to retire to the tropics.
I also have a 1982 Sturgis in good and original condition with the original owners manual that is a praised at 12,000 dollars. Located in Maine, U.S.A.

While they aren’t cool, seeing an ad for the new Rebel was what prompted me to sign up for my MSF. It wasn’t that the bike was interesting, it was just the first time it registered in my brain that motorcycles aren’t all Harleys, or supersports, or dentist bikes, and by extension there are motorcyclists who aren’t biker gang cosplayers, or helmet-and-tanktop squids, or adv dentists. The rider in the ad was wearing a Bell Bullitt helmet and a normal looking jacket, which all looked friendly and relatable and made me think “Hey that looks like a fun thing I could do too”. A modern “you meet the nicest people” approach I suppose.

So while I’ll never own one, thanks for that Honda Rebel.

How can we make Craigslist the go to for buying/selling motorcycles again?

That war was lost years ago and there’s no going back to Craigslist. Unless Facebook magically goes away (unlikely) or some new even worse social media app becomes the norm for personal ads (more likely), we’re all stuck with marketplace.
