Sportster. Plenty of parts? Check Easy to work on? Check Lots of hardtail options? Check 750 or smaller? No, but an 883 is close enough IMHO.

The rear shock mounts give it away as a GT. Sports (except for the early frames) have a different type of shock mount and the frames have a narrower tail section. If it were a '74 Sport, the top mount of the shock would look like it was mounted to the side of the frame, not enclosed in the frame...

$55k? For a nice Sport, sure. But that's not a Sport, it's a GT. Sports are worth roughly twice what GTs are in stock form. Modified? Who knows what it would bring but who in their right mind would pay Sport prices for an owner modified GT? If the engine was done and all the major parts to...

I dunno, I'm not sure he STOLE it at that price. It looks like a modified GT and would be an expensive bike to rebuild let alone restore. I've been out of the market for a while though so maybe I'm out of touch. If you just want a hot rod roundcase I guess it'd be cheaper than a Sport, but...

It helps keep the front end down when launching it from stop lights. I'm surprised you didn't know that. ;-)

Zombie thread alert! Time to ressurect this one. A couple months ago I started jonesing for an air cooled, two valve Ducati. I've had them before, and wanted another. A near stock M900 would fit the bill perfectly. Get the nicest one I could find. Cheap Ducatis are rarely a good deal, and...

I've been looking for an unmolested Monster M900 so yesterday I bought this. No, it's not a Monster. No, it isn't anywhere near unmolested. What can I say, I've always had a soft spot for the 900ss. This is my 3rd one.

Yeah they do need to go. I bought it right before a thunderstorm hit so just wanted to get it hooked up and get out of there... In fact there are a couple changes that need to be made but it has to wait until I get other things done. Turns out getting the trailer led to rearranging the garage...

After many years of thinking Kendon trailers were too expensive (and borrowing one from a friend when needed) I retired and made plans to drag my Guzzi out west next month. I thought I was going to upgrade the POS folding utility trailer I've had for 20+ years, but after searching ads for a...

SOLD

Sale pending.

'tis the season. This bike is available once again. $3800 All the other info still applies.

I am THIS CLOSE to making it work. I've been told my position is going away, and I turned down their offer of a transfer... but they haven't sent me packing yet. Get on with it already! Congrats on the new job!

Welcome, Marco!
