AOD
Listed is an 1979 GS850 sport tuering motorcycle, it is a very comfortable bike. I am only seling it because I need a mode of transport emedietly and dont have the time to put it back to gether, cuerrently it is disasembled parshily but it is not a hard job, it just takes a litel time and pachents. In the end it would be the best bike for enybody. I have all the parts to put it back to gether and make it run like new! I am flexible with the price of $1200.00. Cash is prefured!

He should knock off about $9,980 because it needs air in the front tire.

I ran a quick currency exchange rate for this. He is asking the equvilant of $6749 US dollars for a 250 Honda engine in a hacked up Suzuki frame, with the typical flat black rattlecan paint job. If I am reading the ad correctly, he can't even verify if the motor even runs?!!?
This might be the worst value so far on this thread.

You dont understand. It is a ONE of a kind and he built it with his very own big honking hammer and hacksaw.

the bike.
c. The bike must be mentioned as a "head turner".
d. Using a hacksaw requires labor, so that labor cost is included with
price of the bike. That is why these "bobbers" cost more than what
the bike is worth completely stock.
e. Flat black paint makes the bike "cooler"
f. Any rear suspension, though safer and far more comfortable, will
will actually make the bike less desirable, so it must be removed.
Stop! I am laughing too hard it hurts!

Uuuuh, I'm guessing he has to be foreign.
Call me crazy. I'm not 100% sure I understand what the hell he is trying to say, but if that 2nd "angine" he installed in the bike is running, $200 really isn't that horrible a price. Especially if he is throwing in the old engine he removed which could be used for parts. But then again, that is based on the assumption that I read the ad correctly............
