Thats literally more than I paid for my 06 Tunda, 03 FZ1, and 79 GS550....together. I'd say it's higher than giraffe balls.

There might be somebody who'll pay something approaching that for an original bike
It's only original once, as they say.
Against it, is the mileage. If it only had 2 or 3K on it, he'd be laughing, but he went and used it. That was silly.

Not quite "funny", but not quite accurate, either. :-k
That is what we know as a "Skunk", but it's a '78, not a '79. Still a one-year-only bike, just advertised as the wrong year.
There are a few details wrong for the ultimate purists here, but it is a very nice example of the bike.
Valid price? Probably to someone who just HAS to have one, but I'd guess that it's probably about double actual value.
Personally, for ME, the price is about 4 or 5 times higher than it should be, but that is a personal preference, not an honest appraisal of actual value.

I remember one time waster asking me about a bike I had listed. He asked is that original miles? (WTF???) So I said: Originally it had 0 miles, now it has 15,000. I dunno, talking in code is not my forte.
Doesn't really deserve the "funny" thread, but this looks fun. Loud, but fun.

I think that "Scrambler" is neat. $1400 i would certainly consider it
If you like cool small bikes; VFR400?

I like how he wrote everything up for a Honda VFR but then forgot to remove this statement:
This motorcycle is also for sale locally and other advertising sources, I reserve the right to end this listing at any time should this Ducati no longer be available for sale. The following terms of sale apply.

That VFR400 is super cool but I don't see the point in paying big money for a racer replica made in 1988 unless you are a collector. A R6 will run circles around that thing and weigh about the same...while being cheaper and with spares support.

And it's not a v4 Honda.....
"The Honda VFR400 series of motorcycles were a related series of 399 cc V4-engined motorcycles, which were essentially scaled-down versions of the larger VFR race models of the day.[SUP][1][/SUP] They were mainly developed for, and sold in, the Japanese domestic market, in part due to the tougher motorcycle drivers' license restrictions in Japan at the time for bike exceeding 400cc."
They are INDEED four cylinder engines...

You totally missed the point, spyder.
Can't say it's the first time THAT'S ever happened... Won't be the last...
Are you referring to the top-end oiling issues?
I thought that was just an early generation 500/750 issue or has there been other problems with that motor/make?

I think that kingofvenus was referring to Nessim's comment about the R6 and saying THAT was not a V4 Honda.
I don't know anything about the VFR400, but based on experience with other bikes, if I were given a choice between ANY bike with a V4 and something else, I would likely take the "something else".

Steve with your love of detailing bikes, a Honda VF750-1100 would be a match made in heaven.
Consider owning a Sabre or Magna.
Not sure if this is "funny" or "odd" but either way its worth a look.... https://dallas.craigslist.org/sdf/mcy/d/corsicana-electric-motorcycle-1989/6903059603.html
