    is this a deal or a scam?

    http://hartford.craigslist.org/mcy/1640051433.html

    I figured I can't sell my gear, I'm no longer "not allowed" to ride with people of the male sex, so I might as well get another bike. If that doesn't work out, I'm gonna get boobs.

    So if I do get a bike, I want it to be cheap-o. Does this craigslist seem real or a scam? Is the 1989 ok?? I don't have many wrenching capabilities but I can smile and flip my hair if something breaks...

    I'll be near Bristol tommorrow and can go kick the tires for you if you want.

    No actual mileage listed , and what does newer tires mean ? ( Put on in 1999 )

    Only 1 side pictured, could be damage on the other.

    Also anyone that says a motorcycle drives instead of rides is a donkey.

    Re: is this a deal or a scam?

    Actually, it seems a bit pricey. It is 21 years old, after all. NADA doesn't even have data for an '89, and none earlier than '95, in fact (and the average retail for a '95 is just $990 at a dealer.) It sure looks good, though.

    Re: is this a deal or a scam?

    seems like a legit price for an 89. looks like a 16" rear wheel, so tire choices will be limited, but if you are not putting it on the track then it is not a big deal, and if you are, you can swap it to a 17"

    Good luck with it, seems like it could be a nice bike.

    i whould shy away from it... just the for the fact of the age. it could be in really good condition, but more than likely it is not. same goes with cars. a lot of effort and planning has to go into to have something like that last long. that engine could be garbage.. could have destroyed cylinder walls, bad compression...

    and i would be considering putting it on the track. again, the whole cash flow thing and getting it up there hurdle.

    i dont care if its rashed a bit. i'll most likely drop it anyway. i just dont want it stalling in the middle of a turn like my bike did a couple seasons back. no fun.

    Re: is this a deal or a scam?

    I agree about it being a little too old...For about $2k you could get an EX500 that is 2002-2004. It's a slightly better bike - underwent modifications in 1994. I had a 2006 Lime green which was awesome! Old school technology, but everything worked well.

    I can find ya one for about $2000... http://www.hawkgtforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18702 Plus you have a ton of people who know them and race them and have spare parts and experience with them. Too bad that one is in California. This one is closer but more money... http://www.hawkgtforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18692

    Check out the Forum www.hawkgtforum.com

    I know of one right now that needs to be put together that you could get for about $1300... not pretty but it would be reliable.

    Naw, baby, I said "you can't ride other guys" not "you can't ride WITH other guys". You can ride with whoever you want.

    If low miles as advertised then price OK
    Running bike prices don't go to zero the asymptote out about there

    You should PM The Duck and take him up on the offer

    Even if you still had the jealous boyfriend, who the fuck is he to tell you whom you can and can't hang out/ride with? I can't stand jealous guys! It annoys the hell out of me and it's definitely a sign on low or no self-esteem....

    If you were my wife I'd treat you right girl...I'd sing from the mountaintops of my love for you.... I’d let you do whatever you wanted, I'd make you dinner 3 nights a week, I'd buy you diamonds and such all the time...you'd be daddies little girl...ya, daddies little girly girl. I'd give you the world; I'd take you and squeeze you so tight.... You’re skin is so smooth and silky like my hush puppies, and you're so warm and soft like a buttermilk biscuit...I ain't gonna lie...you make a mutha fucka wanna sing...Always and forever, you'd be my girl..la la la, fa fa la la
