Craigslist "funnies"

Does every bike have to look like it's from a Batman movie?

http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/5583619423.html

Any kind of "Bobber" or "Cafe" made from any kind super sport bike = I'm too broke to buy new plastics but I want you to pay as much for a fully faired sport bike... Also good chance it has a rebuilt title.

I think it looks cool but I wouldn't consider more then $2800 for it...

 

[80GS850GBob]

Um, okay. I realize people get bored sometimes, and have tools and parts lying around, but for gods sake, why didn't somebody stop this before it grew? A GSXR powered golf cart than can only do 30 before becoming a death trap. Really? What a waste of a good motor.

Although, a bit of weight in the front end, steering stabilizer, wider tires...

At what speed would the canopy tear itself off, I wonder.

Maybe this is more what the builder had in mind...before the drugs kicked in.

LMAO....that's the coolest bug I've ever seen...but at 6'3" I'd probably never fit in it......she sure boogies though!

Just barfed in my mouth.

How did that bike find it's way, way up in the hills?
“Well, throwing out feelers. Price is firm. I owned this bike for 3 years and have not seen another running gt750 listed, so with that said, it's rare. AND COLLECTABLE”
Ok, now I get it: “will trade for vtx 1300 or 1800, a running shovelhead or big twin project, or a really nice running cruzier.”

 

[80GS850GBob]

I like how he put "water buffalo" on the fairing...in case he forgot....

..."custom expansion chambers"...yeah, I can see the custom welding done there...

 

[Spyder]

If that is his "vision" we should all wish blindness upon him so he can't do it again...

 

[loud et]

I like when guys say they put 5 or 7 grand into a bike......and you are just like, "Um ok, where?" You will see the same old e bay blinkers and mirrors and some rfy shocks for example and some other changes but the money never shows.

 

[wymple]

He has the stock exhaust. Then clean up the rest of the mess and it's a worthy project. GT750's go a lot higher.

 

[habsdoc]

Wow!!! That exhaust looks to be a really bad case of "Hemorrhoids" and needs to be taken care of right away before they blow and make a mess all over the drive way.

This bike is 95% complete! This XS400 was a project bike I took on and couldn't finish. Selling to purchase another bike. Bike just requires a chain and front brake and a tune up but thats it! Bike no longer has a tach on so Im not sure of the km on it.

​It doesn't seem to matter where you are these seem to show up with ridiculous prices.All seem to be 95% done as wellI will say this looks better than most but............................

That 4LS front brake was only on the ?72 model.
?72/?73 models didn?t have CV carbs - so he got that point right.
But he is wrong about the motor - ?72/?73 models didn?t have the ?water cooled? badge on the cylinder.


Stock gearing was selected for the stock bike?s friendly broad torque curve.
And those ?custom? exhausts probably made a mess of the torque curve.


Good chance he is selling the bike because those pipes made the bike mostly unusable.

As a former xs400 owner I'm sickened by that chop job

That exhaust could work perfectly and it would still hit the trash immediately.

My thoughts exactly,for that kind of $$ you could get a bike to ride right now.

Seen a 83 GS 750 chopped up worse,THAT was a down right pity.

Probably run a lot better if he put the part of the exhaust he cut off back. I guess they have morons in Kanada too....
Maybe he was trying to clone a Harley. Loud as hell, won't go over 48MPH

 

[Grimly]

It will soon be off the road with burnt valves. Ho-hum, how much damage do these ignorant chopsaw w4nkers do?

 

[Rob S.]

It's been on the market for quite a while.

"80 km and hour..." Some 750! Maybe he should offer it as a moped.
