Runs strong.

New battery.

Drag Bars.

New O-Ring Chain and Headlight Bucket will be fitted before selling.

Tags good through October 2011.

Starter Motor disconnected as it only worked 50% of the time - so it's a kick-start only.

hoping to check it out this weekend.

[JackCrank]

Way overpriced.

what would be a good price?

[RandR]

I am trying to replace the turn signal switch on my vespa by myself...anyone here have a vespa and feel like helping me out? No idea how to open up the handlebar area.

[superbeveridge]

I manage a Vespa shop up here in Canada. What kind of Vespa do you have? Some of the modern Vespa's have switches that just pop out. If it is a modern bike I can help you. If it is a vintage Vespa I know dick and would have to show a picture to mechanics and they can advise on Friday when I am next in.

[JackCrank]

I wouldn't pay more than 900 for that but I also find old CB's to be heavy, slow, hard to stop, and only good at the top of their revs. And 900 is still more than i think it's worth. A 350 like that should be like $600 but CB's are artificially expensive cause coolkids like them.

[freecat]

i've heard that some times too. what would you recommand for a sub-1k begginer bike with an old school look ?

get a cb350 or a small 80s GS. easy to drive, cheap to insure and usually can find them pretty cheap.

[Osmosis Jones]

Just need to make room for this.

and the person who bought my CB550 is looking to sell it back to me for the same price I sold it. and now it's running better than before.

[triumph.man]

evil, is that another cb in the first pic to the right??

would rep for the lot of bikes, if only i didn't have red peens =)

[superbeveridge]

i ove those silver super sports. i've never ridden one but they would make a hot cafe bike.

[neptunecitylocal]

Bobby, lemme borrow scooter when it starts working.

[Denim Phenom]

What are you going to do with that CB550 in about a year from now?

[JackCrank]

Shit's begging for the 80s superbike treatment.

[JackCrank]

Also, just saw this on HFL

[Osmosis Jones]

Shit's begging for the 80s superbike treatment.

I will keep my 750F stock for however long. Maybe throw some F2 wheels on and a new exhaust to call it a day. If you look back far enough, you'll see I already did the 80s superbike treatment...

as for the 550, I'm going to keep it and run it into the ground. One of my more memorable bikes..

and a bonus photo... I've had too many bikes.

[triumph.man]

guys gotta check out cafe racer on HD Network.

It's on Wednesday @ 10 pm

Great show for cafe enthusiasts!

[superbeveridge]

A fe picture from the Toronto Motorcycle Show. I was working it all weekend for my shop which sells scooter and Enfield bikes. More pictures at the RJB 105BPS World Tour thread.

One of the few they actually allowed to site on the bike. Pretty comfortable riding position.

On the Iron 883. I could see myself trading in the Vespa for one of these in all matte black.

Ew

[Synthetic <3]

Ew is right. That thing shouldn't exist. Just buy a fucking car...

[Denim Phenom]

...my dad has one of those...not as fun to ride as a motorcycle.

[dizzhizz]

that norton commando is nice!

[JackCrank]

If anyone in NYC area is looking for a killer starter bike I'm selling my blast. I'm not in a huge rush to sell hence the goofy CL price. $1500 for anyone on here. Goo on the tank is tap residue from riding directions. Click the pic for the post.

[JackCrank]

I also have a 1981 Yamaha XS400 parts/project bike for sale as well.

[edmond]

[sarcastic]

Fell in love with a Kawasaki Z1, but I'm now heartbroken knowing that they are rare and are usually not working

[Denim Phenom]

By one that doesn't work and fix it.

[onehundy]

Ed is that a real gold tank!?

[Denim Phenom]

Probably a translucent powder coat. Or just gold paint.

[edmond]

YEAM IMMA PIMPIN..

nah i just had it gold chromed

[kiya]

These two videos are really good, the second one especially is mind-boggling:
