Craigslist "funnies"

[dorkburger]

Right, everyone knows that to cash in, and sell a pseudo cafe racer,one must cut the back end off , and install clubman bars....As the pool of good restoreable bikes shrinks..I don't have a a problem with modified bikes, but when one is hacked up to try to cash in on a trend and turn a quick buck, i find it annoying.

[earlfor]

you know you build custom bikes when you get carried away with the gloss black and yellow paint. not to mention the custom bobbed seat and fender.
i like how he left the stock roto tiller bars.

If he had left it original and just cleaned it up and tuned it up, it probably would have been worth $1500.00. Now, it isn't worth 1/4th of that. Actually, as far as I'm concerned, its worth nothing now.

$5000 and their not even street legal lol. Well you they say there's a sucker born every minute.

A new Segway is something like $10,000 so if this one's in good shape that's not a bad deal. The only problem with Segways is that there isn't exactly a huge demand for them. They don't get you anywhere much faster than walking and you can't use them in crowded areas. Their core market is pretty much rich kids and Google employees.

Hey, a 16 valve chain drive 850T. Someone on here should snap that up.

Uh, pretty positive there never was an 850T.

[Big T]

Uh, pretty positive there never was an 850T.

You missed the sarcasm

There was never a 16V 850, either

......and rent-a-cops at the mall.

We've rented them at the lakefront in Milwaukee - supposed to be some kind of alternative to walking the paths around and thru Veterans Park. Actually quite tiresome because you're just standing all the time. At the end of an hour, my back was hurting more than if I'd been walking.

I've always been a fan of custom jobs but I wouldn't pay $3500 for this one

1981 XS 650 Yamaha Runs strong. "Rat Bike" 3,500.00 Call 615-533-3045

You'll have to click on the link for pics. I've always loved riding a well done bobber or chopper but this one could have used a few more trips back to the ascetics drawing board.

$3500 for this?



Even if he left off one of the zeros in the price, I would have a hard time justifying spending $350 on that.

I don't see any brakes at all on the front, and can not see any activation mechanism for a rear brake.

Interesting can on the exhaust, though. If wonder if it is actually a muffler or just a hollowed-out boom can?

I was thinking that too, but wasn't positive about that. One should at least know what they have before trying to sell it...

He's got a cable running to the brake lever on the handle bars....but it looks like his throttle gets streeetched when he makes turns

For 3500 I would at least expect a high quality paint job and a rear brake.
I wonder how that exhaust sounds though.

I've always wanted a Kawisaki Katana- this guy sounds knowledgeable!

I don't get it, clears says SUZUKI all over the bike and what are roaders?

[JATO]

Who cares what roaders are, that Kawasaki comes with new ones. I've tried pricing roaders and I imagine they're quite costly as I haven't been able to find them anywhere. This alone makes the bike worth every penny he is asking.
