"Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

It sounds like he's willing to go under 10K...

"Almost finished"?? No wonder the wife is an "Ex." I think the seller's opinion of finished and mine are different. In this case it's "finished" as in the guest of honor at a firing squad is finished! What an atrocity. I'd give him 10,000 pennies... then part it out.

Put a red solo cup full of corn gas in it and poke a small hole in the tank... wait 30 seconds and start shooting bottle rockets at it,

Just goes to prove that just because "you can" doesn't always mean "you should."

4 quarts of pre mix to a gallon... and kick start ignition too... I'll be damn.

 

[stroker crazy]

Maybe it was intended to be ridden side saddle. Otherwise, how would your leg clear the airfilter to reach the peg.
Was the engine was painted w roofing tar and a broom?

$8,500? But hey, it is made out of gold. ;D Seriously, he doesn't want to sell it. That's his crazy number price.

I texted him about the error. His reply was "Mistype 4oz.to a gallon". Well that ain't 4:1 either. Then he said "16oz of 2 cycle oil makes 4 gallons", that ain't 4:1 either. 4oz per gallon is 16:1. At least he is safe from blowing it up for oil starvation.

i correct you
4 oonces to a gallion is 32 -1 , pretty much the standard best ratio to run in most any 2 smoke

I stand corrected, I was thinking 4oz was a cup and not 8. Makes me as big a dumbass as the seller, but then i haven't been involved 2 strokes in 40 years,

But you would be wrong. Math was not my thing in school but I find in the 40+ years since school I find I use math a lot and am faster at figuring things than most can on a calculator. Everyone makes a mistake now and then.
