    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.

And now....for something "different"...{not the usual cycle ad put down here}

Actually I know this guy....friend of an old friend thing. Here's a real one off that will get noticed anywhere you go...you ought to see what he does with Anglias!

Lol...it'd be long gone if it were only $12...and not $12k {and my wife would be very upset either way}

Look over the gas tank...the backwards headlight is the tail light with a big red lense that has "stop" on it in black letters. With the backwards fenders it's pretty cool....he never builds anything half azzed....
 
Hey Bob, real cool you tracked down the real bike. Maybe we can track down the original bike for more of these “FAKE” crack list bikes.
 
Yes, thanks for posting about the actual sale. I don't understand the reason for fake ads. Are phone numbers and email addresses of unsuspecting buyers collected for future solicitation?

Seems like someone mentioned it a while back on this thread come to think of it.

Freshly built custom XS400 Cafe Racer. Just finished this build, it's got brand new everything, with the exception of the motor. Bike has really low miles, engine/trans run and operate perfect. New tires, brakes, controls, paint, etc. Way too much to list, but I have receipts for everything. One off build, not another bike like it. Turns heads, lots of thumbs up........ likely because of the pink!! Open to offers, no trades please!

Oh yeah that should sell fast:rolleyes:

I have owned a XS400 yamaha and I sure would never buy another one. Guaranteed to make your butt, hands and arms numb up to your elbows in 15 minutes. Unfreakin rideable for anything more than going out to the street to check your mailbox. I would call it the least enjoyable bike I have owned, FAR inferior to my CB350's.

This looks suspicious to me. Gorgeous bike but the lack of pics and such a vague post makes me think it's probably a bogus post. Looks to me like an 81 1100E but if so, wonder why it's not mentioned??

1980 Suzuki GS Very clean - $1400

Very clean. The paint is a custom job of the original style. Clean title of course! Bike runs real good, fast, and fun. Runs good.

HEY! almost identical bike near me (it is same pic) LOL, there's a total of about 70 for sale by owners. Odd thing I keep seeing a guy commuting past (going other direction) on a GS , Pretty sure , but has a Vetter fairing so hard to be certain...I was hoping maybe it was seller since it's a small place this time of year.
Guess not now anyway.
Only other funny is a "Roller" for $5000 , Hardtail chopper frame , no motor...TOO MUCH to mention...Ad states it has $12,000 in body work on it, and frames similar alone are $3,000...LOL, can I test ride it??? , How fast does it go??? wait it has twelve thousand in work and $3000 frame and how fast does it go??? OH, you have to kick like a kid scooter? Does it go as fast when kicked like a scooter? wait $15, 000, no shock(s) and no motor?
I'd post a link but still learning to copy stuff on mac and it's a small place here , like everybody knows everybody and has cousins with everybody etc. , different place than I'm used to. Good thing somebody warned me ahead of time. It's sort of nice to actually care about others around , actually majority are Americans too, very odd change from Northern VA / D.C. metro...
 
A year or two ago there were a bunch of fake ads for a beautifully restored Suzuki T500. The real bike was sold for something like $8k. The subsequent fake ads were for around $2k.


As with this 1100E, I don?t see the point.
 
Really. That ad has been up for at least a year. Guess he hasn't moved yet....I was just commenting to my wife the other day, wondering aloud why people would put up pics with their kids in them.
 
I wonder what condition the bike underneath it all is in. That might be a bigger selling point.

1971 Honda CB750

engine displacement (CC): 750
fuel: gas
transmission: manual


Why be boring? This is a fabricated Honda 750 ATV. It runs great. It could also be brought back to stock, as the builder told me the frame was not altered, these were bolt on parts. The engine is a 1976. You could make a bar hopper trike of it I suppose. There is no title, but I will give a bill of sale. I only listen to offers in person. This is posted on many sites. Please include a phone number. If this ad is still up, it is still available, so any inquiries about availability will be deleted. Not interested in any trades.
