    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    lol: "Runs great, need the carb cleaned to run" Well, offering 200 is not out of line, he will probably come back at $500. It is what it is. thing is, after you get it running and road worthy, it will only be worth $1k. Those are some of the best V twins Honda ever made. I have a similar one...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I'd walk away. Nothing but showroom condition for my $3800 baggers. Or, i guess i'd get him to give it to me for $500 and just ignore the 100's of phone calls he's getting.

    Isle of Man TT 2022

    The unexpected nature of the event is what makes it interesting. The roads are not perfectly paved and corners are not perfectly banked. One can think of it as the opposite end of the spectrum from a NASCAR race. Ironically, as a spectator even, there are far better events to see in person. The...

    Suspicious Kijiji Ads

    There are many odd people other there (and most of them use kijiji). I wouldn't say that ad is suspicious, as it is a 10 year old account

    Curbsider selling a truck they clearly used to ride their KTM that they clearly use? Curbsider who has no idea how to write an ad? Like, it's worth the $3000 bucks profit if someone actually bought that bike. The "RZ" could be bought for 3500 and sold for 6500 a week later if it looks at all...

    The craziest thing is the 10 year old account! I assume it's hacked? EDIT: Honestly... i dont think it's a scam. Though i wouldn't send money sight unseen. Google street view confirms that the dodge exists at an address within the associated postal code.. I think it may be the real deal on...

    Motorcycle Shops in the Oshawa Area - Husky 610sm

    Air/fuel, Compression, Spark I believe those are fuel injected. So essentially, you want to see if the injector is squirting fuel. If you're lucky you can see if the plug is wet after cranking Then you can check for spark, by cranking the engine with the spark plug out, still plugged into...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Yeah, I consider myself lucky in that i found an 1987 TA this weekend in Thunder Bay. Needs a tiny bit of TLC, but overall nice shape and low KM. I'm going to adventurize it. I'll have it fully equipped, with luggage and crash bars on Kijiji sometime in the near future....

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Yeah, that ad is absolutely hilarious. I've never been so tempted to message someone to let them know the way of the world. One could literally buy an Africa Twin in Germany and have it shipped over for less that 14k

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    They're pretty collectable. And in terms of practicality, they hold up well compared to any modern dual sport. People just see "air cooled!?" "conventional forks!?" thinking that people in the 80's were just putting around where everyone these days is badass. I rode a '78 XT500 all over BC a...

    Yeah, i saw it about 9 minutes after it was posted. i have not got a reply yet. EDIT: and now it's gone. Problem with emails instead of phone calls is people usually open the first email they see, rather than scrolling down to the first one they received. It's like a call in contest on a radio...

    Does insurance for new riders decrease a lot after the first year?

    Yes, it should go down a lot. Also, for me, being a university graduate and lumping in with my house/renter's and auto insurance made a huge difference. I had a 1978 Yamaha XS650 as my first bike in around 2008 and all the quotes were 3000 a year, and that was just liability! When i lumped it...

    I know a mint H2 for 10k. I saw three project bikes for sale for 4k... though i should have bought them! I actually have a feeling the 2T market is dropping out a bit. Decent looking water buffalo in sudbury sitting at $4k right now.
