    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

First things first.
1. $12,000 might be an OK price for a CBX in pristine condition, but ...
2. That bike needs a paint job, some powder coating of some frame pieces and new wheels.

It also needs an enclosed trailer (driven under cover of darkness) to transport it from wherever it is now to a rented garage, where it can be stripped down to address its needs. I would not want to be caught with that in MY garage.

What? How could you dismantle an "Internationally famous bike" some people have weird ideas for bikes.

It would be dismantled so it could be restored to its original beauty, then re-assembled.

Yes, his idea for a bike was truly weird.

The engine and exhausts are beautiful. I wonder how much it sold for.

When will some people realize that if you make a bike just for yourself, there may be only one or two other people on the planet who value it like you do.

If you do something like this to a bike, you should keep it (unless you run into a wealthy Marvel comics geek who's also a biker).
 
That's real funny...

"valued around 2000 and I've put over 3000 into it" so it's really worth over $5,000.

PO's wife: "You're putting $3,000 into a $2,000 motorcycle?!?"

PO: "Don't worry honey, we'll get the money back when I sell it."

$4000 for a 87 Suzuki GS250. Wow!

...but priced at $4000. Shew.

"... It takes about 12 dollars to fill it up, and you can get an easy 100 miles per tank....."

Let's see...:stupid:....$12 divided by $3 per gal = 4 gal and at approx. 100 miles travelled that would be around 25mpg....well, my full size Chevy Impala averages 27mpg, so I guess fuel economy is not the selling point of this little GS250 is it? There must be some other "math" to rationalize paying $4k for this "legit" $900 bike?

Maybe that's what was meant by "I've put over 3000 into it". ;)
