    Sort of Harley meets Ducati , like that would ever happnen

    I like it (a lot) but I'd make a couple of changes. Tyres, as has been said, but also fit huggers front and rear, and either guard up the belt or change it over for chain and sprockets. The final drive might look really pretty but that's one decent chunk of gravel away from being a long walk home.

    This one probably falls under pessimistic seller....
    Asking price of $2950.00 .....barely get a CB 100 for that these days
    The 4 into 1 would need to be binned and thousands spent on a 4 into 4.

    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    I am tempted by that because it is like the tatty one I had in the 80's when it was what I could afford.

    Nah - the 4-1 just needs the baffle pulled out. Bikes were loud back in the day. Fire up a original CB750 with stock pipes and the bike was very audible. Unlike any modern Honda.

    I just paid $4950 for virtually the identical bike that was on TM a few weeks ago. I felt I got a good deal then & still do.

    Sold and I'm hardly surprised. If I hadn't just brought a tank for my SR250 build, I'd have brought it myself. Well under sold.

    That's a fantastic price, he must have had people banging his door down to get that thing.

    yeah I tried to buy it at full asking but it was sold. The one day in the year where I didnt start my day with a trawl of tardme C & V. Fucking work can get fucked.

    Yep. Ah well it wasnt meant to be. I do have a Harley Street 500 in my garage at present. Not mine I am storing it for a third party but I have taken it for a strop. Way more capable motorcycle than my SR400.

    They go better than you'd think. Just a pity about some of the build qual and their choice of certain nuts and bolts.

    Nah...V-Rods have always been metric. Just the size and qual of some of them is tragic.

    I'd rather eat catshit with a knitting needle than be seen on one of these ugly heaps of shit! Even if you paid ME the asking price, I wouldn't want it.
