It's got a kickstart

I actually kinda like this, it's got minimal frame fuckuppery, and with a longer tank and a buttstop you've got yourself a decent little cafe racer on the cheap.

Yea that POS is worth 3200 ... right.

Well atleast, its got just a shorter shock in the back and thank god thank god thank god it has a better tail light/licence plate set up than bikes costing 10 X as much.

But still, a peanut tank, a set of smooth bores with uni filters that will disintegrate in a few 100 miles, even sooner if the bike back fires on startup, and the very definition of class, the carbs being held on with a radiator hose ... yea that's worth 3200. Yea right, its raining $$$$ bills over here.

Cool.

When this guy first posted this bike he was asking $3700...
That was about a month ago. Still no takers for some reason  :icon_rolleyes:

And then we have this gem... It would appear that he forgot to make a place for his taillights and license plate bracket.

We may have to call these fools and tell them their POS looks like garbage.
Maybe I call ones in other cities and others can call in mine - cos I know or know of many of these morons.

Oh sorry I think I may be the catalyst for these fools, but I only plead guilty to the Charlotte ones ... the rest of your morons have spawned by themselves ... nothing to do with me.

Cool.

That shiete is fugly as all of them usually are.

And I love this - "need down payment for a car" so its 2500, if he needed downpayment for a house it would be 25,000, and thank god he's not needed down payment for a submarine or he'd be asking 25 million.

Cool.

A GS450 maybe? Not quite sure. Looks like it'd hurt to ride though.

this one looks to be the best looking anyway so far, the one that was a Ducati that person needs to be shot, the bike i want is a Ducati monster, and he made one look like a piece of sh!t someone please shoot him. :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns: :2guns:

It is not as bad as some others, but it appears to be hardtailed, and the seat appears to be sprung with those hand exerciser things...

It's got a kickstart
many bikes with both kickstart and battery will not start via kick, unless battery is installed. its part of the circuit. even if battery is dodgy, still necessary

A little bit more than I'd be willing to pay (but not too much more) and I'd like to see the pipes end in the scrambler shrouded mufflers, but this one looks to be pretty nicely done.

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/mcy/2966474635.html

I've been eyeing CL360's lately.  Originally was looking for a CB350 or 360 Twin, which is what my dad had while I was young, but I'm finding that the looks of the scrambler are pulling me stronger than family nostalgia is.  :)

Any CL360 I get will likely end up with a slight Cafe Racer transformation anyways, so this one is looking pretty sweet.  I'd prefer to not actually bob the frame though.
If you can't be a good example, at least try to be a horrible reminder.
