I was browsing CL and the title and price of this post caught my attention. I was curious to see what the hell kind of customization almost triples the value of a 3-4K dealer priced bike.

Sharing it just for laughs. This guy/girl/? must be smokin something good.

Hey hey guys. Be nice. You're not being fair. She probably put a lot of time into this design, and just think of all the dignity that went out the window once it was completed.

Ah crap....I was sucked in too. PINK!!!! AHHHH!!!!

I fail to see what the fuss is all about?  :dunno_black:
While it may not be everbodies taste it is a custom paint job that looks pretty damn good in my book. Over priced maybe but it is a bike a lot of chicks would want. And compared to some of the rattle can abomination paint jobs I have seen by members on this site this girls bike sh1ts all over them.  Also Gsat remember there is a thing called karma dude. I hope it finds you one day.

Airbrushed paint like that is stooooopid expensive ~ a particularly good way to lose a schwack of cash on an 'investment' in an otherwise stock motorcycle. 

I don't think it's a bad thing to tell other people where they have gone wrong ~ how else are they going to learn ?

I particularly like the extensive list of expensive aftermarket parts  :thumb:

Or, as a friend of mine said, "Do what most r1 owners do, go on ebay and buy every anodized piece of shaZam! that costs under 100 bucks, then when you go to sell it list every piece you stuck to it and say 'thousands invested'."

I was trying to help the poor girl out. She called me, I apologized for being a smart ass, then I let her know that no one was going to pay that much for a gs500. I never said it was ugly or anything, I was just pointing out to her how over priced that bike was, and that if she was asking that much, then it is clearly worth more to her than anyone else and probably shouldn't sell it. I live my life by karma, but that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun and play harmless pranks.
