Craigslist find of the day

[TEWKS]

Thirty thousand miles and I’ve never seen him in town. Funny because I notice things like that. 
I question the white frame being a 95 but, I’m too lazy to look it up at the moment.. 

[9Mary7]

Ad says he powder coated the frame..... the white looks good!

[TEWKS]

Here’s a beauty that sold for a little over ten grand.   

[Rougarou]

Saddle bags BMW K1300S - $550

 

[9Mary7]

Not on C/L but looks sweet!   (And not mine)

 

 

[wbw6cos]

I believe that R1200C sold today.   @RoboSquid might want to update his listing in The Classifieds - FS

[TEWKS]

Bargain!

Wow. That’s new. It’s very good for me that it’s on your coast. I don’t think Laura would be too miffed about another bike, but the inevitable performance awards and skyrocketing insurance premiums would not go over well.

Like you don't have any bikes that might qualify you for a performance award.  Or two??

 

Put 102 miles in my flying brick today before the rain clouds made me turn tail for mommy.

 

I was reading a post by Dirtrider about doing the throttle position calibration and did that before cranking this morning.  IT WORKS!!  Holly Molly!!

 

But, NICE BIKE!!  Someone will be happy.

Putting those bags on a K1300S is like putting Steamer Trunks under the wings of an F-18. 

 

What tha......??

Better, I would trade you my immensely practical Ford C-Max hybrid for an hp4.

Well, I suppose any bike could qualify me for one, but as a just barely reformed habitual speeder I am pretty sure the 140 horses of that k would be too much for me to keep at a trot. ...it’s hard enough on the relatively wimpy GSA and S. (This is also a primary reason why I drive the car mentioned above).

Needs fuels sending unit.  HA!  What about throttle body cams?  

[TEWKS]

Ah, details. See, I always get tripped up with the pretty paint!

You are not the first man to fall for a pretty red dress!

Some mighty high prices.  Looks like one bidder got two of the bikes, spending 34K

[mophead]

The Honda CBX's are going for insane money.

I always thought they were sexy, but not $20k sexy.

[Lowndes]

I always thought they were, uh.. , a little klunky.   Now the CB400-4 was sexy.  In a small package kinda way.

 

Seems like Honda has emulated most every engine type out there, singles, parallel twins, tripples(??), fours, V twins, V fours, V sixes, boxers (4 & 6), even two strokes but singles only, I think.

[TEWKS]

My old f 650.  I bent the tubing for that headlight guard which I thought was pretty crafty at the time. 

His price confirms I didn’t negotiate very well on trade in.  A beautiful flirty Biarritz Blue RT will do that to ya, I guess! 

[TEWKS]

A very nice 1999 RT.

That’s my favorite color and seems like a very reasonable price.

I remember when these came out, I was in SC at Sumter AFB...  the mid to late eighties was such a grand time for middle weight motorcycles, from Nighthawks 700s, VFR 700, Ninja 600s and 750 turbos, FZ700,  the GSX 750, and then the Hurricanes showed up

My bone stock 89’ CBR600F would roll right past my riding associate’s 84 GS750ES (with pods, a jet kit and a Yosh pipe)……..roll ons…..acceleration.  All while giving up 150cc’s,  It was a remarkable time in motorcycle development.  I miss that thing…..

[mickeym3]

Now you guys have made me look for another Interceptor, dang I miss that thing. A Honda with soul, go figure. 

[TEWKS]

It’s going to be gone before the ink drys in this post. 

 

$1,195.00 

 

[Skywagon]

Sumpin tells me he left off a zero after the 5.  If I am right it will be here a while.  It 1195 really is the price I suspectTewks will need a day off tomorrow.

[TEWKS]

I absolutely don’t need another bike right now but for twelve hundred bucks, it’s way less ugly then it was just twenty minutes ago.  No offense to any owners out there. 

[Skywagon]

$350-400 for the new tires and probably at least $75 to 100 for the new battery...  Hmm...a $750 motorbike....what time do you pick it up?

[TEWKS]

I just informed a bike less coworker of it. He actually liked the styling of it.  Told him not to wait if he wanted it.

[wbw6cos]

That way you get a chance to ride it.  

[roadscholar]

• "Wintered over with gas and Stabil and the tank needs to be drained now for it to run right."

That's likely craigslist-speak for it's not running and needs a fuel pump because stale gas froze the impeller. I had one for a few years they're actually nice riding and will surprise many higher-rated bikes in the twisties. 

 

 

[TEWKS]

Ah, see I got all giddy at the low price and stopped reading. 

[roadscholar]

Still looks like a smokin deal, fuel pump isn't that big a thing to change out, I'd def want more detailed information though. 

[taylor1]

Texted the seller this A.M  With a little luck there might be a road trip in my future

[taylor1]

Just talked with the owner for about a half hour. Someone looking at it this morning. If they don't buy it , it's mine.
Comes with the bmw bags and cover. Hoping for a lobster dinner next week.

[TEWKS]

Ha, told the guy at work to get on it last night. But, if you get it Dave, that’s just as good! 

[taylor1]

There is one born every minute ,and right now it's me. For some reason I was thinking it was more of a dual sport and not just a road bike.
Called the guy , apologized , and explained that I didn't do my homework. Nice guy  So far it's still up for grabs  FYI I am keeping my eyes open for a deal on a smaller GS  or equivalent

[TEWKS]

The belt final drive and a stone getting caught and imbedded in it would be my only concern. Did he say it ran? 

[taylor1]

Hw said it last ran at the end of June . Starts up and then dies. Doesn't sound like anything major . Good chance it just needs fresh fuel and flush  Fuel in it is a little over a year with stabil added. I'm still him hawin over it, but don't wanna loose sight of what I really want

[TEWKS]

Not a give away but… 

 

[TEWKS]

Got a few miles on her.

Wha??  44K??  25 might get it.  Start at 23.

I'd almost fly to Boston for that deal and I don't even need another bike of any kind.

 

Where's my phone.....
