Craigslist "funnies"

What a waste of a good motorbike.

Come on, Eric, maybe it was involved in a front-end crash, and has a bent steering neck.

That means that this was a GREAT RESURRECTION of a "wasted" bike.

This is an all timer. A must see! $2500 but it's stuck in 1st gear? This proves there is an idiot on every corner! http://omaha.craigslist.org/mcy/3238274260.html

If the gear shifter won't shift "UP" out of first, how does he know it gets "great gas mileage"???
If I'm not mistaken those bikes are 1 up, 4 down. I know the '82 750's are, my old man has one. Weird to ride...

So, you have to ask, is he really that stupid, or is it really stuck in 1st gear??? AND, why would he think an unride-able bike in rough cosmetic condition is worth twice as much as the same bike in good condition and ride-able???????

Yeah cool, continue to wear a helmet that does nothing to protect you...now that's cool!!

ok, so no side covers, pods (and likely the carbs haven't been re-jetted), hideous seat with no padding that looks like it was done by a monkey with some vinyl and a rivet gun?

I'm thinking this person does not know what 'cafe' is. At least they aren't trying to sell it for an outrageous sum. Still more than I'd pay but it's not stupid crazy.

You sit on that, you'll definitely be a "low baller".

bUT THAT makes it a cafe racer

You're kidding right??? Without the side covers the tank looks stupid. this is not a cafe candidate. and simply removing the side covers and the seat doesn't make it anything but a bike missing parts.

Not only that, it's not missing enough parts to be a "cafe".

It still has a front fender.

If it is missing ENOUGH parts, doesn't that make it a "Street-fighter"?

No, if it fought the street and is missing parts, it's a "street LOSER".

It's not just our bikes that get hacked up into over-priced POS's. Bet the Triumph enthusiasts get their knickers in a knot too over crap like this!

I actually had my eye on this one for awhile, but I don't know if approaching the seller and telling him/her the missing seat and side covers is going to drop the value by 1/2 is going to work

There is NO WAY that is worth 3500. It still has a front brake!
