Optimistic sellers

[FJRider]

I'm more interested in the state of mind the bidders are in to even put a bid on a shower of shit like that.

It has negative value to me. I'm struggling that some people out there are actually bidding on it.

I'm certainly not interested in the state of mind of the seller ... OR the bidders.

If the seller can't make a decent effort to present the item they are selling at it's best ... I wouldn't bother to make the effort to do any bidding.

Good photos with a good camera makes a sale easy. Well ... if the price is right.

A very poor phone camera.

And I've seen CX400's in worse condition ... but not as high in asking price.

Actually that collection is like a masterclass in crap picture taking. It's not just that they're blurred, the composition is crap, most wouldn't show you anything if crystal clear.

These are dreadful, from the era tha Honda had given up to focus on making Civics.

The only thing to make it more dreary would be if it was the 250. So it's a lot of coin for this model. I mean maybe if it was mint. . .

But someone has had a go with the paint haven't they?

And some of the paint is already falling off, probably because of the buble in it, trying to get away from the christmas music.

Old enough for cheap rego, but still a bit spendy for an average 400 with ugly wheels.

What is age for cheap rego.
Am vintage myself .

Not a motorbike but this sort of shit always makes me laugh. It needs absolutely everything done to it with no redeeming features.
My V8 neighbour gets given job lots like this all the time cos they are not worth anything. You would have to be unscrupulous to expect someone to pay for it and be happy.

I think it would need to be bolted together to even be of use at the task it is best suited for: ensuring your aquatic vessel does not float away from where it is parked.

Take an uninspiring retro rehash circa 1991 in pretty lame condition with dents and bad wheel paint (probably rattlecaned). Take some parts off after crashing it and buying some cheap bars.

Hey Presto! 10k please.

[Navy Boy]

Jeepers... I see what you mean. It's not as though they've taken the time to even get it looking presentable either

optimistic because even though it probably OWES you $21k, cos thats what you have spent on it, its still a 40hp commuter with nice paint.

[F5 Dave]

Is a Choke Delete a good thing?

And why advertise the mismatched tyres like its a good thing?


Saw a few bikes out today. But I've never seen one of these so called modern cafe racers actually being ridden. Guess coffee shop is as far as they go.

Half that asking would be about right.

The back end looks all wrong though.
