This doesn't look like a parts bike to me, but there is only one picture.

Looks like someone transplanted a later model engine into this bike, as it has a TSCC 16 valve head.

what did this poor bike do to deserve such treatment? another "do your homework this is a $3000 bike" type ad.

That guy has been trying to sell that hunk of metal on craigslist here in Phoenix for at least a year. I see it pop up every so often. Maybe he can`t take a hint.

What a lot of clowns also do is resurrect a sportbike from a wreck then call it a street fighter. The fairing fitted headlight is replaced with something from a salvage yard because the bodywork was trashed, cheap itty bitty turn signals are slapped on, and the exhaust can, among other parts, is frankensteined from something else. Then comes the rattle cans. I guess it's O.K. if someone does this merely as a means to have something unique to ride, but the intent to build and sell one of these things is squirrelly.

If you crash a sport bike, that's about all you can do to it. It's not economically feasible to buy or even fix the plastic.

Reminds me of a slightly related story. My buddy owns a motorcycle salvage shop. He had a KZ1300 Touring, you know that water-cooled six behomth. He couldn't sell it, nobody wanted it. So he said screw it, and pulled off all the touring crap off of it and made it a street fighter. Even adjusted the emblem that said "Touring" to say "urin." Bike was snapped up immediately!

That is a TSCC bike. No proof of what was done to the bike or it would have sold for twice that price atleast.

gs850 needs some "pachents"

high miles, high price, high spelling errors:

my favorite is "pachents"

"In the end it would be the best bike for enybody."

Do custom Quads count?

Really hope the owner has no intentions of off-roading with this. Interesting ride, but pretty useless.

I mean, did that guy even pay the slightest attention during spelling class. Good stuff!

WTF?!?

I can't imagine that creation is street legal. You're right, that can't be used for off road. Where would/could you even ride that thing? How do you go in reverse? Fred Flintstone method?

yikes!

I thought the praying mantis bike was the worst so far, but this "bike" might take new top honors for worst creation in this thread. So many questions, so scary.
