Not a bike I want but an interesting bike. A bike that is complete and starts and runs for under $3k is getting close to the bottom of the market. On an older bike, the cost to safety and potential bill to replace old rubber bits probably means it should be cheaper.

Edit:
From the other stuff he has sold, he's probably a cool old guy.

On that note, I came around a blind corner yesterday and an asshat in a miata was parked in the middle of the road admiring the scenery at the corner exit. F that guy. Not even an attempt to pull onto the shoulder. Sometimes you wish for Buckhorn Sand & Gravel to reinforce that stupid behaviour can be painful (I am not saying Adri's FIL did anything wrong, but that Miata guy deserves a beating).

I met a guy in the Kawarthas a few years ago. To get into his driveway, he has to sit *in* a blind corner while waiting to make a left. The day before, a woman in a Harley came along and hit the back of his car. She died. Her husband apparently crashed into her, I don’t know if he ended up passing as well.

As we stood there talking, nearly ever car coming around that corner made the turn well over the limit and several feet over the line. He mentioned there had been other fatalities on that road. No surprise. It was a beautiful road to ride.

If I were that guy, I would probably end up going down the road and making a U-turn somewhere so that I could pull into my driveway making a right.
 
Yikes, sad story. Surprised he didn't put up a caution sign at the end of his property, or ask his neighbour to.
 
Nice bike ....didn't expect. Not sure I've ever seen a 650 ...used to seeing 500s. V 650....sweet.

I know yamaha srx as a sled (700cc triple). With all the three letter combinations, why would the use the same letters for a 600 single bike?

SRX was initially only used for a brief 3yrs in the 70's in their sled lineup. The SRX in the motorcycle lineup went for more than 10yrs ending in 97. The SRX name came back to the sled lineup the following year in 98.

For the same reason they used the same alfa-numeric designations on musical instruments and electronics.
There are consulting companies (heh Bob don't Bogart that joint) that specialize in coming up with attractive combinations to sell to manufacturers.
The more times you can use the copyrighted combination the cheaper it becomes.
 
One more vintage bike, 1980 CB750F $2400. It's not ready to ride but it's not exactly a basket case either. Complete except for mirrors.
