eighteen grand? fucks sake.

But it's a LTD - that stands for Limited so it must command a high price............

I note one header is very blue compared to the other three.

Yep. A high mileage, rough heap of shit, that's dime a dozen. A guy I used to work with at WMCC had about 8 of the fucking things! Super rare!

How about this beauty? Only 1km showing on the odometer apparently! That's so new it isn't even run in

As a trailrider sight that warms the heart. Friggin cars for the dirt.

This bike isn't grossly overpriced, though probably worth under $10k because of its age. But why specifically advertise as "No drop, no damage" when anyone with half decent vision can see the banana shaped brake lever?

They've got curly levers, and in the shot looking down on the bars the lever is clearly not bent out of shape.

The pic where it looks bent is something in the background I think.

Why would you even bother? Except for possibly the frame the whole thing is useless and I doubt there is a hot market for burnt trx500 frames.

I disagree, the lever is most definitely bent. These bikes do not have "curly levers", I've never seen such a thing.

It's not even a big deal, bikes get dropped. I just don't understand why you'd unnecessarily say "never dropped" when there is obvious evidence of a driveway drop.

Ah, I wasn't looking at the end. Thought you were talking about the master cylinder side, where they curl in toward the bar.

For 5k, you can have this rusty pile of poo.

Why would you bother?@ I think everyone should be encouraged to do that to them.

Oh you mean to buy the cremated remains? Well. . . Maybe if there was a market for them like that. Some sort of crowd source venture?

Only thing that made me feel nostalgic for my old 750 version was the speedo.
Good basis for a restorer. But don't sink too much on a 400. Grand?

Maybe he never let go of the handlebars. . So . . Technically. . .

Tops I would've thought. Not as bad as the freak with the Popup 750 though!

could you staple a GSXR750 motor in there?

Dunno mate. But I wouldn't bother.

This would have to be right at the stiff end of the wedge if not completely dropped off the end into the abyss
