    Must be a drag bike. It has the turning radius of the space shuttle.

      A lot of craigslist sellers don't have a clue. LOL There is a local ad on craigslist that has been running for a year. They guy is asking $150 for a old (well used) Suzuki rectifier. He has a picture of it in the ad. What he has is a turn signal cancel module. LOL

              Mini apes, no front brake, suicide shift, 2 foot levers for rear brake?, straight shorty pipes that stoke your right thigh with heat and fill your schnauze with fumes, saddle that looks tough on the nuts especially with the hardtail, open primary belt (maybe wears velcro type sneakers and no bell bottoms). I guess no front fender doesn't matter since the bike has never seen rainy days. Signals not needed when you have arms busy with the suicide shift and navigating the springer front end? Good taillight that can be seen one car length behind you. Headlight that should illuminate at least 13 feet in front of you....oh that's right...you leave it parked after dark. Oh yeah....I had something just like this when I was nineteen....never mind!!
              Note: I paid $600 for my old Triumph chopper many years ago. Must be inflation?
              1 foot brake, 1 foot shifter, and 1 oil pressure gauge...

                  Looking like it touches the ground.....I don't think this thing corners very well....Even in a straight line....never mind a speed bump or an irregularity in the pavement.

                      Gaud, I love this thread! Always good for a laugh.

                      That Honda Hawk low rider is stunning, for all the wrong reasons.

                          Not surprising that he's open to trades.

                          I was wondering about that Flintstone handle. A stand?
