Right, everyone knows that to cash in, and sell a pseudo cafe racer,one must cut the back end off , and install clubman bars....As the pool of good restoreable bikes shrinks..I don't have a a problem with modified bikes, but when one is hacked up to try to cash in on a trend and turn a quick buck, i find it annoying.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

The only problem with Segways is that there isn't exactly a huge demand for them. They don't get you anywhere much faster than walking and you can't use them in crowded areas. Their core market is pretty much rich kids and Google employees.
We've rented them at the lakefront in Milwaukee - supposed to be some kind of alternative to walking the paths around and thru Veterans Park. Actually quite tiresome because you're just standing all the time. At the end of an hour, my back was hurting more than if I'd been walking.

I've always been a fan of custom jobs but I wouldn't pay $3500 for this one
1981 XS 650 Yamaha Runs strong. "Rat Bike" 3,500.00 Call 615-533-3045
You'll have to click on the link for pics. I've always loved riding a well done bobber or chopper but this one could have used a few more trips back to the ascetics drawing board.

Even if he left off one of the zeros in the price, I would have a hard time justifying spending $350 on that.
I don't see any brakes at all on the front, and can not see any activation mechanism for a rear brake.
Interesting can on the exhaust, though. If wonder if it is actually a muffler or just a hollowed-out boom can?

Who cares what roaders are, that Kawasaki comes with new ones. I've tried pricing roaders and I imagine they're quite costly as I haven't been able to find them anywhere. This alone makes the bike worth every penny he is asking.
