      Key selling points:

      "This is one of the most seen CBR250 R on the planet. The bike has over 138K views on youtube alone."
      Hmmmm, 138,000 views and still not sold huh? LOL

        I don't know how much value the mechanical mods add; if he can show receipts for everything then maybe a little bit. Its been crashed (no way the rear fender gets that deep of a scrape in a no speed drop), and the seat is going to need to be replaced. If it actually has the new front fairing, he's probably only off on the price by a factor of two (instead of the normal 4-6x).

          550's were chain, 650's were shaft. The idea being the extra 100 cc to pull the extra drag of the shaft & maintain performance. Yamaha did the same with the 550-650 Seca

            The '83-'85 CB650SC & '84-'86 CB700SC are both shaft drive.

              FB, not Craigslist. GS owners Salvage Yard. He is serious. $4500 for a 650L that doesn't run.

                        What he meant to say was "This bike turns a lot of heads".

                        He just doesn't say in which direction.

                          "cool looking bike" apparently includes an ammo box.

                              Don't you think if you are asking $5500 for a bike you would clean it up a little bit first?

                                I just don't get why they cut the rear end off. The bikes just look completely unbalanced. Its got a Dolly Parton chest and no Booty!!

                                I'm a Latin dude .. I likes me a little booty!!

                                In all seriousness.. my career was in design. I studied it and worked at it and was paid pretty well for it. They just look weird. Fab a tank that balances the bike out. If its just a bar hopper/wannabe street racer you dont need the capacity so go the whole 9 and fab a tank that works with your minimalist design or purchase a smaller tank and weld on the attachment points you need.
