Craigslist "funnies"

[Buffalo Bill]

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.

It is supposed to be a collecting pot of the ridiculous for ridicule.
Some of these bikes are tracked down and purchased. Most are ridiculously over priced.
We gotta tell somebody, these emperors have no clothes on.

I think if the Machine Guns were REAL and Loaded, then you might have something there... lol

A lot of work went into it. I can appreciate that.

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.

Somebody was so dumb to chop a CBX 1000???? Like, can any be found under $7000???
Maybe a 4 cylinder CBX?

 

[Grimly]

What he said?
All you guys gonna line up for selfies in the sidecar??? :excitement:

Let's face it; you need a sense of humour and a strong sense of the ridiculous to ride an outfit anyway. :-\\\

Right, whenever they appear in a move, they're always used for a comical prop.

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

If he's calling it an 1100by the number cast into the case, then I have a 3200.... EEY -OOW!

yeah they did, the engine sounded good, carbs were okay but the frame was scrap metal, he wanted $2.5K which is essentially the value of a running cbx engine, titled frames can be found on ebay for $500, it was missing the seat (500), tail cowl (300-1000), tank (500-2K), forks, bars(1-2K), lights, indicators and bunch of other parts...probably over 7K by the time you have everything needed, I wasn't looking for another cbx project one is enough...none of my cbx buddies were interested it was just too far gone...but someone did buy it!

a good cbx around 11-13K, excellent 15-16K or more ....but if you pay attention to internet listings there are nice re-store-able specimens to be had for 3-6K

But it doesn't work on anything vulcanized. Wait, there's a Spock joke in there somewhere...

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

Love it! Talk about detail. I like the fact that the exhaust looks like it actually got hot

Made me LOL!
Well this one's just interesting, just a "funny" because it comes up when I type "Katana" (URGH! the 1100cc 1990 Katana near me sold, Didn't think I could get it , then looked again..."Procrastination" equals FIVE syllables for "SLOTH" itself!) Had same motor as my MC, some reason the specs are like 30HP more on it . same weight practically...Anyway here's the only "funny' when I put Katana:


Anyway:

Been interested in these for years. There's a lot of good info in the ad.
I was wondering what they did about titling , Ad explains titled as "specially constructed vehicle".
That itself is a PITA and expensive.
There's so many laws, most can be checked on DMV site but without ability to add a VIN , even a go-cart or mini-bike is illegal to sell (These days, where I live anyway)...

Well not "funny" like stupid , just funny as in strange ad/interesting IMO...

I'm probably the oddball on this... but I kinda like it. I'd sure hate to be the guy that gets it and has to buy parts for it in the future though.

This ones been dropping in price for the last year but still around:

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/mcy/5777859144.html

Only needs a little finishing up huh:

Almost completely rebuilt, just needs a starter(will start but getting weak) a battery, carbs and timing final adjusted (will run and ride), rear master cylinder, and a seat made. Everything else is new or rebuilt. Over $3000 in it so far. Im going to be really busy for the next few years and don't want to see it sit for that long so close to being done. Would be a great first project or just a simple off season finish up.
