Craigslist "funnies"

[storm 64]

I'm going to keep an eye one some of these to see if they actually sell. If so, I'm going into the bobber business. I figure all I need is a welder, a few cans of gross color flat rattle cans of paint and get it running.

And if you don't get around finishing it, WHO CARES just say you have too many projects to finish it. You'll still double your money.

I would like to know how many sell for any price and are on the road. I've never seen anyone riding one of them.
I've seen more people riding Vincent Black Shadows than bobbers.

I saw a whopping 2 this summer....one hardtail ratty looking thing based on a Honda twin, and a cafe attempt based on a Yamaha twin.

Right now I have a great running 82 GS850GL that's in nice cosmetic condition as well and I'd be lucky to get $1500 for it. These bobbers and rat bikes just P!$$ me off.

Just keep in mind that there is a big difference between asking a price and what someone is willing to pay. Sort of like the old joke about wishing in one hand and pooping in another....

Your list is well short of what most of these hacks are using.....you need copious amounts of alcohol and illicit drugs.

If somebody wants to hack around a bike that was beyond any sensible restoration and turns out yet another bobber, I don't really care, at least it might be back on the road or provide spares for somebody.
I start to get a bit annoyed when a perfectly fine and well-looked-after bike is ruined by one of these goofballs.

[Highway_Glider]

You know what they say.

Clothes make the man. Biker.

10 minutes? Does that include getting dreesed and out to the garage?

It's a Tempter! I hate to admit it, but I kind of (sort of), like the novelty of it.

I'm not normally one to bash bikes, but this one made me laugh. For $3600 you'd think he could have at least cleaned the pipes up a bit:













1978 Suzuki GS400.

I bought this bike a few years back and I have been restoring it daily.
I have replaced the following with OEM parts from Suzuki.
Brand new tires front and back, new tubes.
Repainted rims with tri coat silver paint.
New wheel bearings front and back.
New sprockets and drive chain.
New stator and rectifier.
New upholstered seat.
Recent oil and filter change.
New battery.
New signal indicators.
2 New carburetors.
New intake boots and seals.
New seals and gaskets
New oil in the forks.
New fuel line and hoses.
New fuel shut off valve.
New front brake master cylinder.
New rear view mirrors.
Brakes pads are almost new.
Newly painted(Ferrari red), NEW gas tank.
New spark plugs.
New ignition switch.
I have spent a ton of money on the bike itself to get it back to normal condition. The mufflers have surface rust but still works. Basically it needs new pipes to get it back to pretty looking. Other than that just start it and go.
It has been my daily driver every single day all summer long. The bike itself is strong, pulls super strong, transmission works excellent. Engine starts first kick or crank. You can either ride it or restore it completely.

The bike is registered and insured.

If you have questions please do ask.

Thank you

It is pretty cool looking!
With the roads around here.... I know I would launch that in the air.
I prefer my bikes on the ground!!!!!
At least most of the time!
