        Suzuki 2300 cc - $400 (2300 cc)






        bike is a four stroke 2300cc monster. does need a little tlc but wouldn't take a lot to get running. needs a tank, battery, clutch cable, lights, etc. if you like classic sport bikes and know your way around a bike then this can be a very fun very fast toy.

          ...thread where you can place all your craigslist pet peeves! ...


          Too many "pet peeves" to think of all.
          Here's a few:
          "was running great" followed by "so it should be easy fix" or "before it overheated is all" etc.
          News Flash: EVERY vehicle EVER sold "was running great" at some point.

          Then there's "was in a very minor accident" and the list of new stuff contains "new bumper" ,"Neeew Headlight lense" course the borderline retarded posters' list usually has "recent oil change" "tires rotated" etc.
          (All the most basic maintenance that owner could perform, that they got suckered into paying for and never once did while driving thousands and thousands of miles)...

          I had one best buddy who did a lot of business for vehicles ,etc. off CL ads and one day, concerned for him I said, " I hope you're careful, You know all the ads [going into city even], asking for "bring CASH" "
          He said, "yeah it's a little sketchy sometimes, but when I do have cash, I keep this very close"
          ...(Detonics version, smallest model .45auto 1911, in stainless)...
          Looking back, I think of that one as "THE CL piece".

          "YIKES!" ,makes me daydream about the ideal "CL ad responder piece", awful daydream,
          Can't help it being Interesting though: "ideal CL carry piece" IMO,
          even though it'd be a nightmare ON BOTH ends really...


          EDIT: D@rn topic I was looking for one (easy to spot) and found another MC nearby I might get! !@#$ gonna need to rent a storage IF I can get it....(AWESOME!) ...IDK...Want this one. Cheap too HMMmmm...???

                  You can argue all you want, but even the fact that we argue about it demonstrates some relevance for KBB and NADA.

                  And then, like you say, there's government (DMV) and other legal factors (insurance). Cycle World has had a side bar feature in their "Service" questions for a while now about desirable used bikes that quotes KBB every month. Granted, they've yet to feature a bike as old as our GS's, but I think it's valuable for establishing a baseline. And the Blue Book seems to have been spot-on for the three years I've owned and followed the market for my Suzi.

                    KBB is worthless as far as prices go for our 80's Suzukis. Same thing holds true for other bikes from the 80's.

                      you may want to look up the statutes in your state.... the person you dealt with may have been wrong.

                      in texas, if it is over 25 years old, it goes by bill of sale for tax purposes.

                      this makes sense as a statute because these old bikes and cars are often basket cases when you buy them.

                        Agree. I just had the PO state on the paperwork that I paid $200 for the bike (I paid $1600.) No questions were asked.

                                Of course not - that would be stoopid!

                                Looks to be a round, blanket-covered battery compartment of course.
