Craigslist "funnies"

I wonder what the dyno numbers were? 25HP?

Key selling points:

"This is one of the most seen CBR250 R on the planet. The bike has over 138K views on youtube alone."

Hmmmm, 138,000 views and still not sold huh? LOL

I don't know how much value the mechanical mods add; if he can show receipts for everything then maybe a little bit. Its been crashed (no way the rear fender gets that deep of a scrape in a no speed drop), and the seat is going to need to be replaced. If it actually has the new front fairing, he's probably only off on the price by a factor of two (instead of the normal 4-6x).

This Wikipedia article indicates that the 650 was also shaft-driven.

.

550's were chain, 650's were shaft. The idea being the extra 100 cc to pull the extra drag of the shaft & maintain performance. Yamaha did the same with the 550-650 Seca

The '83-'85 CB650SC & '84-'86 CB700SC are both shaft drive.

FB, not Craigslist. GS owners Salvage Yard. He is serious. $4500 for a 650L that doesn't run.

Wonder if the other parts he going to put on is the rest of the bike?

"This bike gets a lot of looks" ...really?

"This bike gets a lot of looks" ...really?

What he meant to say was "This bike turns a lot of heads".

He just doesn't say in which direction.

"cool looking bike" apparently includes an ammo box.

I'd rather have the V65 Sabre next to it.

Don't you think if you are asking $5500 for a bike you would clean it up a little bit first?

I just don't get why they cut the rear end off. The bikes just look completely unbalanced. Its got a Dolly Parton chest and no Booty!!

I'm a Latin dude .. I likes me a little booty!!

In all seriousness.. my career was in design. I studied it and worked at it and was paid pretty well for it. They just look weird. Fab a tank that balances the bike out. If its just a bar hopper/wannabe street racer you dont need the capacity so go the whole 9 and fab a tank that works with your minimalist design or purchase a smaller tank and weld on the attachment points you need.
