What would be cool is the opposite...

Put a 1200cc Harley EVO engine into a sport-bike frame.

HUGE low end torque, tons of aftermarket, and simpler then a pile of shaZam! to work on.

Oh, and debadge the sonofaBuddha Loves You, there's enough Harley branding to last the world the next thousand years all ready.

Yamaha did that with their Road Star engine, shame they don't import them to the states though.

Yea hideous transformation ... but I am 100% biased - somehow a 89-00 gs body still sends chills down my spine.
A beautiful 89 with a beautiful stock body in that pearl white ... man is that cool or what.

Somehow I cannot get myself to like a 01+ ... that tail section just rubs me the wrong way.

Cool.

$3200 for half of an old XJ with some ape hangers and a paint job too unique to resell... Hm.

If the rear end didn't look like a dolphins tail with two assholes, thatd be really sweet.

He painted it since the pics were taken.  But he lies because he says he's 6' 4" and enjoyed the bike thoroughly.  Where did he put his legs while riding it?  I'm 5' 9" with a 30" inseam and this bike has JUST ENOUGH leg room for me, and not an inch more.  He lies!

I'm 6'2 with a 34" inseam and I find the bike comfy. I wouldn't have put over 40,000km on it if I hadn't.

And look @ this moron -

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcd/2440162540.html

The funny part is -  No title because they didn't issue titles back then and it's never been registered.

Really ... wow ... this was made before titles huh ... so when was that ... 1901, 1902 somewhere in there ?

Cool.
Buddha.

"I don't have time for this project so I'm selling it..."

Translation: I am unable to get this thing registered cause I don't have the title so would now like to make my problem someone else's problem and exchange an unregistrable POS for a roadworthy registrable bike in good condition.

Not a bobber, but it deserves a look.  one ugly paint job lol. 

http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/mcy/2451528881.html

I stand corrected.  If you're 6' 4" you obviously have more flexible knees than me!  I need every inch this bike has!

thats not the oringal engine. they were silver from early 97 onwards

He could've painted it though, to go with that godawful paint job.

"Title to what? A box of parts?" -mister

I've been missing out.  This thread about made me fall out of my chair laughing. 

OK fine I admit it, after someone pointed out how a lot of these Idiots call their bikes "Custome" - I satrted searching for it in addition to Bobber and see what turned up ...

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/2450513166.html

OK pretty much there aint no bobber and so wha tis the big point you ask ... OK yea here it is ...



1. 1985 Honda CMX250 Rebel. Wrecked in rear. No title. Parts Only. <------------- 250 rebel with the frame bent like a backrest from the pics and no title.

2. 1977 Honda CB750k. Custome Flames on tank. Minor damage. Best of the group. <------- Best of this bunch but look @ this bunch - not saying much at all, and title ?

3. 2000 SUZUKI LS650P SAVAGE. Lost N.C. title. Duplicate title. No key???  <-------- So is there a title or not ?

I bought all three of these at the same time, so they are for sale as a whole or in parts. ONLY $4000 for all..

Thanks for looking.

The Kicker ... "ONLY $4000 for all"

Lets see, 4K if these 3 were in good condition and had titles is a stretch. The savage and the rebel would be ~2500 together. The Honda may or may not bring in 1500. That is in good condition. These 3 $400 is a stretch.
Cool.

hell parting it out would be idjits best bet. even then 4k is a stretch

I know a few pushy amway dudes who tag a "just" in front of anything and it makes it sound easy. Like "Just make millions" and you'd be good. Or the more common "Just become big in amway". I once told them, yea, I'm "just" curing cancer, right after that is complete I'll just do that.
Its only $4000 ... yea.
Cool.

I was stupid enough to let Amway cult members into my life not once, but twice.  The second time I thought they may have changed to something more legit as 15 years had gone by.  They insisted Amway had changed.  They lied, again.  It's still the same pyramid scheme selling way-overpriced merchandise you can buy at any discount outlet for a fraction.  The whole business model still makes no sense.  It is limited to your ability to rip-off your friends and family and your ability to convince others to do the same.  All these years later I cannot fathom how Amway survives to this day.  I suspect there must be a connection between Amway, Scientology, and Jehovah's Witnesses, although I've never actually established any connection other than they are all hypocrites who sell lies in a very passionate fashion.  They all prey on human emotion, which is very sinful in my book.

Cool.
