He should have put Ford decals on it. Who would know..

Anyone need some nice drag race parts from a GS850G, like an 1150 motor?

Haha, That "850" could be a sweet deal especially depending on what's been done to the engine and its condition. Looks like an 1100 bottom end with the 1150 top. I love seeing the words " don't know much about this" in an ad

[wedoo2]

I think this may really be a Ducati

I bet with that swingarm and safe looking flat stock replacing the shocks it handles and rides like a dream!

You know, there are people here, several in fact, that are doing the same thing. And with help. Somehow they look stupid on CL. Wouldn't be a hoot to find out he was a member here? Just saying.

[Vmass]

Is it just my computer, or did craigslist make a modifiction to their page, which takes away any left hand border?

[Steel Toed Tank]

Well I'll be....
They have changed it.

[Gorminrider]

Is it worth even the scrap price?!

We can't seem to find the deals up here you Americans can find, but still- there are some winter specials that can be snatched at!

1982 Yamaha XS400 project - $1000 (Yellow Point)
1982 Yamaha XS400. Spoke wheels, drum brakes. Needs a little fiddling around with to make a runner.
I've changed the oil, put in new plugs, Cafe seat needs finishing, Have new Rubber Carb Boots and float bowl seals. Carbs look to be functioning. Turns over with good compression. Needs breaks, lights hooked up and some wiring, hook up carbs and fuel lines, finish seat and any little finishing touches you might want. I found it as a barn relic and started cleaning it up. Cleaned up the frame and painted it. Cleaned up the engine. Last insured in 2010. Moving away and can't take it with me sadly. Also have an older Tombstone tail light, a cb150 rear fender and some other misc parts. Needs some cool handle bars.

i sold my XS400 5 months ago for 1100 dollars and it was perfect. I paid 40 dollars for a parts bike that looked like this. Truly a twisted sense of value.

[Steel Toed Tank]

This guy wants $1500 for this non runner 750T, knows nothing about it, not even the correct year.
It looks to be in decent condition with only 8K miles, too bad it's way over priced.

http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-street-cruisers-choppers-1984-Suzuki-GS750T-W0QQAdIdZ448907353

Acquired this in a court sale. Does not run, needs some repairs, or buy for parts. Call for more information. 403-373-5757. $1,500.00 OBO




There is a dealer with one for sale with fresh paint in way better shape than that one for only $2k.

[Gorminrider]

Yes, it's a cast of the line for a quick profit. But at least he's not baiting it with lies to reel you closer. Telling you it was a court sale is inviting a much lower offer, I'd say.

[Spyder]

he's already dropped it to 1k. Sure would like a few parts from it... Side covers, air box, maybe a few others...

[Steel Toed Tank]

I'd say by the looks of it, it probably doesn't need much more than a fluids change and a carb cleaning to get running. Very low miles on it.
Wish I had some money to throw at it.

[BigD_83]

I'm not even sure where I stand on this one. Laugh at the guys plight, or cry because he thinks he can recoup his labour costs?

1981 Suzuki GS400L - $2295 (N Surrey)

If you too, are tired of seeing this advert re-posted so much.... It is because that A-hole that was doing this for all my ads is still up to his tricks. The posting usually lasts 4-8 hours then he flags it. Craigslist people know all about this problem person but are reluctant to do anything about him. So as a result I re-post it, and you see it every day. I even placed the advert in the dealers section, but that too seems to not be enough for this clown. If he would just leave it alone, it would only ever be seen at the top of the listings when it is renewed. As a result of this kids actions, it is top posted every day. Sorry in advance if this upsets anyone. I have 5 bikes available for sale at this time with another 4 to be made available soon.

------------------
This is a note from the self proclaimed expert on used bike sales:
From:"the Rooster"
To:
Dude...you are never gonna get $2295 for that 400cc motorcycle, even if you post it everyday for another 3 months...cause it's just not worth that much. You'll be lucky to get $1500. I'm going to start flaggin you for posting that piece of crap everyday
-------------
To Rooster: If you buy a bike for 1000 and then put on two new tires, replace the stator / regulator, repaint the frame, repaint / creme and seal the tank and side panels with 2K paint, rebuild the petcock, rebuild the carburetors, replace the master cylinder, rebuild the slave cylinder and replace the slave piston, replace the brake pads, add a new battery and new oil / filter, you will have added 600 or more to your cost. Add 400 for all the labour costs, and you have a bike that runs into a cost of 2000. add a small profit of 200 and voila you have my bike. Many of my customers do not want to repair a cheap bike. They prefer to buy from someone who is familiar with the bike and someone they trust to fix it, if and when it breaks. Additionally I have resold my customers bikes after they buy it from me, if they wish to buy a bigger or newer bike. I have sold many of my bikes at least twice. It allows another beginner bike rider to use and ride a bike as well. Often my customers use a bike for one or two years, then resell it for the same price they paid... Value in a bike purchase means much more than just a cost... It has far more to do with a purchase from a reliable person that understands the bike and how to repair it.
Rooster you are annoying.... as well as wrong... BTW His email address is:frontside5.at.hotmail.com in case anyone else is having troubles from this kid.

I have for sale a 1981 collector plate capable Suzuki GS400L. Just completed a tear down and reassembly. Carbs just overhauled. Chain replaced, brakes rebuilt, new master cyl, tank and covers freshly painted. 16000 kilometres on the odometer, runs well. Cleaned, repainted and in great condition. Starts easy and gets great mileage. With collector plate, insurance is only 175 a year. without collector plates it is only 350 per year. Easy to handle, fun to ride. A perfect bike for a first time rider, and a perfect all year commuter bike.
2295.00 or reasonable offer.

Here are some pics of this bike on flicker....
