TEWKS Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Love to join your support group Shawn but I'm afraid, I wouldn't be all that supportive. Not much of a bargain but everybody needs a yellow bike at least once in their lifetime. https://nh.craigslist.org/mcy/d/2008-ducati-1098-less-than-4k/6621579675.html Pat Link to comment
Emfour Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) A Bicentennial Honda CB750! So rare, even Honda didn't know they made it. It's an automatic just like the ones nobody wanted in the day. Painted a bright patriotic yellow. Not sure if the guy used a brush or a roller. Needs work, not sure if it runs. All for the bargain price of $10,000 https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/d/honda-bicentennial-750four/6653578148.html Edited July 28, 2018 by Emfour Link to comment
lkraus Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) The price is ridiculous, and apparently is not "collectible" in it's current condition, but it does appear to be a legit 1976 CB750F1 Super Sport. It does look repainted - no tank stripes, some yellow non-stock highlighting, painted rather than chrome front fender. I think the "automatic" is an error. The CB750A had a different transmission case, exhaust, tank and seat. Edited July 28, 2018 by lkraus Link to comment

TEWKS Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I figured it was going to reappear, and it did. I Just missed this exact GSA a few months ago in NJ for 5K. Now where is that arse kicking emoji? Pat Link to comment

TEWKS Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Only if it's Kawi green. Tradition tells me to agree and I do like the green, but, that silver always looked good IMO. Seems like a pretty good deal if you're looking to get your adventure on. Pat Link to comment

Bud Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) You all know I'm always seeing what Beemers are for sale. Lucky for me, I live in the geographically undesirable center of the country so bikes like the above, which is a great value, are far from my reach. With 3 Beemers in the garage, Nancy asks why I'm always looking. It's a serious disease. Another one on the east coast.

dirtrider Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Another guy been smoking legalized wacky tobaccy. $1400. LINK Morning elkroeger It might be worth it (if it came with an original title) but the ad says no-title. That's too bad as the original title is probably worth more than the 3 wheeler is. As Antimatter mentioned, some of those were licensable as a motorcycle. I had one of those years ago & it was sold with a real plateable motorcycle title right from the Honda dealership, that was early in the 3 wheeler/ 4 wheeler era so they were sold mostly as work/ utility type vehicles and actually titled as a 3 wheel motorcycle complete with road legal title. I rode mine around northern Michigan on the public road system for years as I kept it at my cabin up there (I did add a brake light & license plate light) no DOT rated tires though, it did have a legal motorcycle license plate on the rear. Never even a second glance from the local LEO's. It took the DMV & Honda quite a few years (at least in my state) to realize those things weren't really road legal as sold as they didn't come with a brake light or come with DOT road legal tires.

Antimatter Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 MN law is that any two or three wheeled vehicle is considered a motorcycle. With a bill of sale, you can register even unregistered vehicles if you can provide a VIN number. Locally, there's a guy who has one of these that's street legal, and often drives it into town when there's a Supercross event. That cache of 'weirdness', for lack of a better term, has put a premium on those things. As well as a plethora of street-legal dirt bikes and supermotos. Link to comment

As a kid, 9 or 10 ish I remember an older neighbor's buddy having one. He rode it once or twice in the neighborhood trails. Don't remember the exact model but it was a green Penton, the only one to this day I've ever seen in the flesh...or steel. Funny how certain things stay etched in your mind. Pat Link to comment

elkroeger Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I give you... The DIRT MOBILE. And I quote: "As the tittle implies this is not a snowmobile, why? Because this was not built for pussies who need fresh powder to to crash on, lady's if your man does not own one of these, he probably does not own my 81 Chevy luv either, It's got tires on the front, no skies, it snows for 1 day or of 365, need I say more? It hauls ass, and if you like mixing gas and slapping Ass, then this is for you, just like good women this thing should be locked away at night because everyone will be wanting it, It's a 400CC 2 stroke Twin, started by them guys at Polaris and finished by yours truly, if you can't handle being shot at by your nephews nerf gun this is not for you, If you need a button to start it well tough luck cup cake, It does have heated grips not like you would ever use those, your hands going to be on fire along with the rest of you because this bad bitch is fire, come get it," Link to comment
