i got spare gs500 forks from a 2007f if you like. do you need the triple tree with it or not? without the triple tree, i'll give it you for $100, for both sides. let me know...

i work for the boats docked just across the bridge. i work with the owner of the cb550 cafe racer spotted at the same spot as well...

that's my bike lol. i'm in my 3rd week of my riding career right now. i actually dropped (first drop) it yesterday though when my foot slipped while i was putting it on center stand, at the same exact spot you spotted it at. i managed to feather the fall dropping it slowly though, so the only...

ok, how much work ($) exactly would be needed on this bike?

damn 3 hours of wrenching for every 1 hour of riding? please tell me you're exaggerating. man it seems like i should really go with another bike, at the same time i already have my heart set on it... arghhhhhhh

the asking price right now is $5300, but on autotrader, they've listed it as $4900. i asked him about it and he seemed surprised about it, he got out of it saying that $4900 is without the plate, certified, etc... so it definitely sounds like it can be negotiated even lower. i would love to pay...

bike is imported already and being sold at a small dealership. the dude told me that it's already registered in ontario too. the main problem is that the bike isn't in any of these insurance company's system. i figure a few of these people i've spoken too are clueless and just telling me that...

I've gone over a list of more than a dozen insurance companies. Not one company had this bike in their system. It's an import sport bike, 1991 KAWASAKI ZXR 400. I don't own it yet but plan on seriously buying it, finding insurance is the only thing that's holding me back right now. I've only...
