Craigslist "funnies"

[850GT_Rider]

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.

......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.

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?

You missed the sarcasm

There was never a 16V 850, either

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 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.

That one is really sad.

Especially if you consider that I paid less than 10% of that for my '80 850G.

Yeah, spent a few bucks more to turn it into a pseudo-GK, but still have less than $1000 into it.

Oh, there was a GS850GE. That would have been the '84 model, but was not available in the USA.

Needs nothing how bout a decent looking rear fender to start with. Its not the worst looking bobber but when will people learn that a set of struts and a chopped up rear fender do not make a bike a comfortable or good looking bobber. One more question why would anyone bob a shaft drive anyway they just dont look right.

Did it come with that spiffy Hardley-wanna-be front fender?

Nominated for Keyword Asshat of the Year

Not going to reproduce the whole ad here - but look at this knob's list of keywords. Took him longer to write that than it did to write the ad itself. What a moron....

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/3677720083.html

 

[JEEPRUSTY]

I am pretty sure that the compiled list was taken from another source and not written by the poster.

Its a nice looking bike at least but he is a titsack for using such an atrocious method of trolling for hits.

Now this is TALENT. Not like just anybody could do this....



1972 Yamaha XS 650

-14,xxx miles
-Bike was stripped down and everything painted
-Cool beat up vintage tank
-Custom seat pan (seat actually being made now and will be included)
-Low bars

The XS 650's are by far one of the most desirable Japanese bikes to build into bobbers or cafe racers or whatever in between. This is a great start to ride it how it is or change a few things and make it your own. Very cool original bike that has been put together right. The bike had been sitting a while. It runs but definitely needs some fine tuning. Clean title in hand. Shoot me a text or give me a call anytime. Priced to sell quick, needs to go.

I am not going to reproduce it either, but I did copy it and paste it into Word.

It fills 2 1/2 pages.

The stats on the document show 2332 words.
