$1800 bucks in southern Oregon "Oregon Style"!

Looks pretty intriguing to me. Not a typical hack-job.

Salvageable, both vehicles.

That's a good point. The title is for homebuilt street legal dune-buggy and the bike (Abomination of selection IMO), could get re-titled OR still has a seperate one looks like. The price is a bargain IMO.

I had same exact idea except using the front half of a single seat badlands buggy ( like the SG 2 next gen.)
http://badlandbuggy.com/product-category/shop-buggy-plans/ And would use a watercooled sport-bike or touring bike for rear. (Saves a lot of labor from the buggy build)...I daydream a lot.

On a debatable note, where do these clowns get the idea they've produced something of value?
It looks like about $500 worth of salvage to me.
Somebody could rescue it, but no front brake calipers, no seat, no air box, no shocks, no fenders, just a crap gas tank.

Except for #3 the exhaust still looks decent.

HA! I didn't even notice the lack of front calipers. So sad and so overpriced for what it is.

Very powerful and no way to stop. Great combination.

 

[Buffalo Bill]

If one of these can be purchased for it's actual value, rebuilding it into something good would make for a nice thread project.
Restoration or genuine performance bike.

Not funny in the humorous sense (well...) but interesting enough to garner at least a smile. I would ride this, just for the wow factor.

You don't want to use the front brake anyway, ... you'll go over the handlebars. :-\\\

Sell it back to China, they got money now.
Would probably get attention at any antique bike show.

oh yes, they do but I think they are still making them- (as they are still making "Urals" in Russia (albeit the new urals are said to be much improved,,,)That in fact looks to be a new bike and not manufactured in 1957 at all. bit of a con in that ad I think.

I think its a Ural in one of the Geico commercials with a sidecar and trailer.

Was thinking, Oh, one of those goofy things with cyclinders sticking out both sides.....

But, ah, no, ah, um, er... Chang Jiang






******** COPY - PASTE ****************
[FONT=&quot]This is licensed as a 1957 Chang Jiang. It has a 750cc sidevalve engine with 4 forward speeds and one reverse. This was originally hooked to a sidecar, but is now a solo bike. This is a little bit like owning a Model A Ford. Not very fast, but is a conversation starter everywhere you stop. Cruises easily at 45mph, maybe a little faster, but definitely NOT for use on the interstate. Do your homework. The CJ750 is a Chinese copy of a Russian copy of a BMW R71.[/FONT]

You reach down with a pair of pliers and squeeze. Of course, that would only be with one hand, unless you're really brave.
