“Here I have a Kawasaki GPZ1100 for sale. Too many projects and too little time so this has to go. This has not run since 2010 and i was going to convert it into a caf? racer but have too many other projects so it has to go. here are the known defects--tank has no petcock and needs a clean out, throttle bodies are stuck, no exhaust fitted although pictures show one, no windshield, scratches and chips on paintwork, no chain, no rear cowl, grab rail and foot pegs. all those parts where thrown out for conversion into a Caf? Racer. Ask all questions BEFORE bidding. thanx”

"All those parts were thrown out..." What an idiot!

 

[SVSooke]

Picture may not accurately display item being sold. You have a picture of a stock GPZ looks like in good shape, that you totally destroyed and threw out all the parts so that a person couldn't even put it back together............butthead!

This is not funny per se, but funny because of the price. If I were fully healed and had a grand lying around...

"1987 Suzuki GS-850 four cylinder with sidecar painted as WWII fighting tiger jet. Does not run, needs a piston reboring"

If it were running, that's not a bad price for an 850 with a hack, but keep in mind that it's NOT an '87. :-k

Yes, there were '87 850s, but not in the USA. With those wheels, it's no newer than '81. The brake disks rule out '79. The passenger footpeg mounts are also no newer than '81. The forks are from an L. Looking through the CL pictures, the rear fender also looks rather L-ish. The tank is an L tank with a round cap, which was a one-year offering on the '80 850L.

No one wants to give him a history lesson? WWII fighting Tiger jet. Hmm, that paint motif was used on P-40 aircraft, which were in WWII (he got that right), propeller driven.

The sharks mouth was used by many units of that period.
Painting it on a bike seems infantile to me, but I live in a glass house.
Glad he'll never ask me if I like it.

 

[Guest]

This is a little better example of the "fighter jet" look, in my opinion...

 

[gustovh]

That's way cool.

[ddaniels]

Now that's a cool sidecar!

 

[nvr2old]

Cool, yes..but it still looks like a little kid's ride out in front of a grocery store. Add an aluminum seat, take off the propeller and the "machine guns" and it would help a lot.

What he said?

I guess when reality smacked him upside the head he decided for the less brutal road travelled.

“call or text,thanks....Serious inquiries please not looking to sell so no lowballs or crap trades..”

How could anybody low ball a bike that's only good for salvage or major frame work?
What needs to be rebuilt:

What needs to be rebuilt:

someone tried to sell me a CBX in similar condition the frame had been chopped and severely modified in a cafe conversion(unfinished)...he told me it could be returned to original but it would be cheaper and quicker just to source a parts bike for it's frame.

Oh C'mon, have a little fun and quit being so serious. Such critical people here.

 

[nvr2old]

Not being critical..just honest. It looks silly to me. This thread is filled with disgust and cruel remarks at other people's projects..some deserved, others not so much.

This guy has a "Red Dirt Bike" that doesn't run but it IS 1100cc.....
