You don't have to post my bike on here making fun of it.  I happen to like it, its unique and not something you see every day.  Its custom, maybe you just don't know how to appreciate custom.  Lets see YOUR bike, no way is it as creative as my Ducati clone GS.

Okay, how is slapping a Ducati sticker on a GS make it a "clone"?  This kid DEFFINATELY has stickers all over his stock Honda Civic with hubcaps.

QuoteI've heard it's easy to adjust the idle, but I don't know too much about motorcycles so haven't messed with it.

He may not know how to "turn a huge ass knob" but he sure does know how to make it a Ducati clone. :laugh:

I'm stunned ... ya coulda told me it WASN'T a Ducati clone before I bid !!! That's not a trellis frame that they just maybe filled in ???

Seriuosly though , do ya think that that one person that did bid can retract his bid because it is NOT a "Ducati clone" ??? Maybe someone should tell him that the "Suzuki" on the side of the bike throws off the otherwise stellar Ducati impersonation lol .
Has anyone spent the time looking through the "eBay ID" thread to see if this dude IS part of these forums ?

*Edit ... ok , so it DOESN'T say "Suzuki" on the side ... this jackass actually painted Ducati on it !!!

No matter what anyone says about the title, he is accomplishing a goal...get people to see the listing. Threads like this to mock them are a bonus.

Unfortunately the only thing benefiting from all the attention is FeeBay and its advertizers. Views and mocking does not bids and money make...

I do feel sorry for that poor miserable GS though. It looks like its had a hard life at the hands of clueless owners...

My starter bike was an '81 CB900 , and it's bars looked a lot like those . It's be interesting to see a photo of someone on the bike ... those bars look like they'd be right at home with some forward controls hehe
