Cheap-ass 2-up bike...

[highsider]

I'm just throwing this one out there....

I sold my good 2-up bike when I found out my wife was pregnant, and now she is wanting to go for a ride with me again. I have been looking for a reasonably priced ($3k-$5k) 2-up bike for a while, and I haven't been able to find much of anything. Looking for something along the lines of a Kawi Concours, Triumph Tiger, maybe an old CBR1000, VFR, etc.

The big issue is that we have is that my wife is considerably shorter than I am, yet she likes to be able to see over my head so she can see where we are going. This worked fine on my old 96 VFR 750, but very poorly on the Concours (though I think a Corbin seat might help.) We sat on a brandy-new Triumph Tiger, which we both *loved*, but I don't really want to spend that kind of scratch on a bike right now.

So, if anyone is thinking of selling, or knows of someone selling a bike like this, lemme know, have cash.

Thanks.

Hey now....that doesn't look too bad. Do you know if he's flexible on the price at all? Its not a whole lot of money, but the bike does have some miles on it, and those bikes are a pain in the ass to work on.

If he still has it - he should move a little on the price - especially for cash. He took care of the regulator problems, put new wheel bearings in it, and took care of it.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up!

How about a nice TLR?
