Craigslist find of the day

That is REALLY weird. Living in AK, it was apparent that most of the population - particularly most of the population that had voluntarily moved there - was on the odd side to put it mildly (us included ). So...kind of the same on the islands, yeah?

 

Also, if it hadn't mentioned it being dead, I'm pretty sure I would have thought, how did they get that cat to fall asleep on the back of the bike?

From the Craiglist ad - "2007 Suzuki SV 1000. $4900.00 The lion is a trophy from a legal hunt in Oregon. I have tags. It it for sale for $9500.00 it is not alive ! Just a bad ass mount. "

So how many lions are there in Oregon, a that they have enough running wild to allow hunting?

And how did it get to the Big Island, w/o being stuffed? Unless the pictures were taken in Oregon and the seller thinks they will help sell the bike...

I'm so confused.............

More info for hunters: Hunting Cougars in Oregon

And some good advice for living in cougar country: Living With Wildlife

This is a subject I used to be quite interested in but never actually got involved in a hunt.

That photo is clearly NOT in Oregon (though there are some people here who insist on growing palms for whatever reason)...

the islands are a treasure trove of this sort of thing:

Free GAS! I don't think I'd start my bbq with this stuff!

"12 + gallons of free old gasoline (Pahoa)

drained gas from van that sat for 4 years.

in 5 gallon buckets"

Probably not... but makes a great solvents to cut grease and grime.

Nice '99 RT in that coveted Boston Green, low miles, good price

IF there wasn't one in my garage already, I would sure be interested.

What a beauty -- '96-'01 was the prime era for RT design, IMO.

Ah, another missed opportunity:(

yeah, it lasted about 2 days.

Not B green but, the miles & price is right.

Clear your schedule for the afternoon if you're planning on reading the ad.

Great post if just for the read on the history of Harley's attempt at Superbike racing. I've got a Harley buddy that will enjoy it.

Good find. Just remember Scott Russell's antics with HD in the 90's...

75k for a hand full of issues just to race a vintage category you'd never win.

I'll pass.

Not cheap but I'd love to have one, preferably a PD. I think I told the story of when I was in the beginning stages of shopping for a BMW, I was shown one of these. I laughed and said who would want to ride that goofy looking thing. It took some time but, I get it now.

I remember seeing a VR1000 racing down at College Station back in the earlier 90's. I was helping in the pits for a co-worker who was racing for Plano Honda. It definitely had a different sound then the rest of the bikes on the track. It did not finish what I think was a 4 hour endurance race. The VR1000 was not keeping up very well either.

That's why they sell paint.

I'm fascinated at what others find attractive. Good thing we don't all like what I like because my wife tells me I don't have good taste.

I hear ya on that! They had a few bold colors on those bikes. After I finally got the (GS thing) I missed out on this color by one day at a local dealership.

This thing is awsome because it is so ugly

That sounds like something my wife might say if she were trying to cheer me up.

Edit: for the record that come out racier than intended. I was thinking of my FACE. Swear.

Not Cl but a Honda CB400F which doesn't come up for sale every day.

If you think the Boxer Replica is too much bike...

Darn, if it had not been for the last 2 zero's I was going to ask Tewks to pick it up for me and hold it till I could fly up and get it.

LOL - if it hadn't been for the last two zeroes, he'd have had to wait in line!

I actually had a chance to buy one of these when I was in the service. (The same guy had a Messerschmidt as well.) Both cars were in fair but operable shape, bu more money than I could have afforded for a 'toy' car at 19 yrs old. Kicking myself to this day...

micro car museum is closed, and it was all auctioned off, but the website looks intact. I've burned up hours there.....

Saw this R1200 in town last weekend (when weather was nicer).

Found the Craig List listing today

https://muskegon.craigslist.org/mcy/5500558452.html

Add says selling to buy a new bike.

Also noticed HarleyDavidson decals on the truck parked there.

I have no comment about if a good deal or not.

I dont have much of any detailed comment about if is in good shape, but in general, it had a shiney appearance.

I did not know there were 1200s in 1998. (I though first 1200 was 2005 like the RTs.)

I cant say if those are stock bars, nor if that is stock exhaust. Did I mention I saw H-D stickers on truck parked there?

Maybe that fellow would do some work for your friend with the Silver Wing?

Very nice work on the CB175. Two of my friends had that model in high school, one blue '70, one gold '71, I think (might have been '71 & '72). Though I remember the paint on those early models as being "candy" metallics. My niece rides a '73 CB175 which has plain red paint with a black stripe. I think Honda was trying to cut costs, and it showed.

Morning Redman

Those early 1200's were just a slightly larger OilHead engine with no balance shaft & slightly different fueling control. (those weren't the later 1200 hexhead engines)

If I can source some panniers for this it's as good as in my garage!

That has to be one of the most hideous motorcycles ever designed and produced. However, a friend had one and I probably rode it about 1,000 miles. It was a delight to ride and the best-handling cruiser I've ever ridden.

They didn't sell because of odd appearance and the single throttle body lowered the performance. 2 years later BMW introduced the R1200CL. The CL had a fairing with 4 headlights, and bags and trunk. Actually a nice bike. Didn't sell well either. BMW stopped trying to compete with cruisers after this.
