This one's tempting. 1981 GS 550L for $250. Says it has "weak spark".

Doesn't say how many miles are on it, though.

For anyone looking for bikes in your area, http://www.craiglook.com works really well. You can do proximity searches from a specific zip code.

I've found a lot of cheap parts for my bike using it. If it's something small, people will usually ship it.

Tempted to buy this thing. Ad seems pretty fishy but who knows. A shop put it on the dyno but it doesn't run? Huh?

I've been wanting to do a metric bobber. Might have to go look at it and offer him 250 bucks for it.

Edit: Doesn't say it has a title so that's probably the catch.

Really, though, I find it hard to believe you can buy that bike for $150. You can't here in the states. The only similar one I could find is this ebay auction. Granted it didn't sell but the guy was asking $2100:

Like I said, I'm a sucker for old original bikes in good shape so it is possible I am insane.

1976 Honda CB 200 T 1400 Original Miles - $600

For sale: 1976 Honda CB 200 T with 1400 original miles. Bike is in fantastic original shape. I sold the bike on Ebay for $1250 and when I went to start the bike to ship it, it developed an engine problem. The bike sounds and runs fine, but it has oil blowing out the crank case vent pipe. I told the guy I would have to fix it before I shipped it to him and he decided he didn't want the bike. It would be a good project for somebody who could fix this little Honda engine. Like I said, it's 1400 original miles. Has clean title.

Suppose he just overfilled it with oil? Cute little bike. What else would cause that symptom?

This thing would be kind of neat if you had a Yamaha to show off your bike I guess but I'm not sure what else you'd use it for. Not really very practical for working on the bike because you can get a lift for that and I'm not sure how you'd easily get the bike up on that.

If you're looking for a hot rod Sportster, this is a really nice bike. 110 HP bike.

All the best parts and the guy has a thread over on xlforum.net chronicling the build.

Not everyone's cup of tea but would save someone a lot of cash if they were planning on getting a sportster with plans for motor mods.

Not sure how much cash you have but I'm looking to sell my 2000 with NRHS 1250. Not as wild of a build as that one but has the 04-06 heads, Andrews N4 cams, etc, etc.

Anyway, not to hijack the thread but PM me if you're interested. I'd let it go for a lot less than that one.
