    I dont like the style or what was done to a CB750, but it at least looks complete and possibly well done, and he isnt asking an over the moon price. Im far more interested in the bike in the background.

        It was built by a V-Strom owner (bike in background). He can't help not having any taste.

          Background bike reminds me of my old 1967 305 YDS3. Same color, even. My 1st bike

                    The irony is strong with this one - I suspect he put the badges on to **** off the local pirates, or pirate-alikes.
                    Anyway, I thought a Cylenoid was a scary space robot that was out to destroy mankind.

                      Nothing really funny about it, but I already post 2 bikes on the for sale section today, not allowed a third. Figured I'd give it some publicity here. GS1150E for 800 bucks in New Hampshire.

                          From a CL listing near me.... I liked the part about "when it finally gets up to speed"

                          "Selling a 1981 Suzuki GS550L. Carbs were just cleaned, new paint, new petcock and fuel filter. The bike will start and move but it doesn't have much go power. It does shift gears (when it finally gets up to speed to shift). We don't have the time to fix it so we are selling it as is. We are keeping the battery that is in it but we can leave it in to show you it will start, so, battery not included"

                            The funniest part of that one is that it's already been deleted and nobody (including me) got a chance to see it.

                            If you don't copy the pictures and/or words from the ad, nobody will get a chance to laugh at it after the ad expires.

                              Funny price...



                              $3500

                              And it only needs new exhaust...



                              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.

                              Open to reasonable offers.
                              If you have questions please do ask.

                              Thank you

                                Looks like someone is a little optimistic with that gs400.
