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

Holy shit. 9 grand? You could build three or more bikes just like it or better for less.

*** Forgot to add: cue up someone responding that it's really not that unreasonable of a price, the price of parts, coil, forks, etc., blah, blah, blah. Or will this one be unanimous?

$9k is fucking absurd.
 
For $9k I'll get a used Ducati Monster and still have change to fix it up nicely....

No front fork brace, crappy mufflers, cheapo velocity stacks....I wonder if it even runs.....

It isn't even
special"....just bolt on goodies...For a price like that I'd expect custom titanium exhaust sytem, better rims, SS spokes, and $5,000 change.

I guess we all are underestimating the value of our rides. I have a nice 76 CB360t. for $10,000 I'll deliver it to your door and buy you a dinner.

Maybe Waynseboro has been smoking some HomeGrown?

Not even Custom, Bolt on DCC stuff....sheesh....

If Paul Jr and Paul Sr. weren't up in Orange county NY, I would think they are in the Cafe Racer business...
 
You can't make a profit on the parts you buy. Peoples' expectations are nuts. You will never get your money out of a project bike, plus your time covered. But, some smuck with lots of dough might bite on something crazy like these. Either it happens or the owners don't want to sell and price them outta sight.

Wife or girlfriend: "We have a kid on the way, you have to sell that #$%@ bike!"

You (Mr. Craigslister): "Ok honey, I'll put it up for sale tonight. Sheesh!! I hope you're happy!"

4 weeks later. . . W or G: "Why hasn't your bike sold yet?!?"

You: "Gee, I dunno. I priced it really reasonable. We'll give it another month. I'm sure it will sell."

I know they are reviled by BMW guys but I like this one.

The seat is a bit odd though.
