      Selling my bike 2001 Suzuki GS 500. I love this bike and it is very reliable.

      Carbs where just cleaned, bought a new battery, I stripped the paint to get it ready for a new coat, and I also threw on some new cafe racer style mirrors.

      I did how ever just have it towed and ran into a couple of other troubles. It isn't worth taking to a shop for me I am just tired of the hassle. The ignition is out due to a key snapping off inside of it (also why it was towed). Maybe an easy fix maybe not go ahead and give me an offer the easier you make it for me the easier I make it for you. Worst case scenario you buy a new ignition off eBay for $25.00 or a full set with new gas cap for 125.00

      Make me an offer like I said the easier it is for me the easier I will make it for you. Please reply via text, if you cannot text email is a good bet, call if you must but make sure you leave a message as I rarely pick up numbers I don't recognize.

              The price is too high.
              About $1000 too high.

                I love how he says several times it gets lots of attention.. wrong kind of attention I bet..

                      I'm not sure how the conversion rate effects thing, but while he might be a little high, it doesn't seem right for that other person to be flagging this guys listings. If he's getting buyers, even if his logic seems misguided to us, then why should the 'flagger' give a crap?
