I would like to be in the courtroom where the other guy in the accident tries to explain " I didn't see the bike your honor!"! Maybe he's on to something.................

Here's yet another example of a nitwit that took a "bone stock / untouched" little bike and "customized" it expecting to make money on it. I'm willing to bet it would have been easier to sell for his $750 asking price before he modified it. He shows a before picture as well as after. (Why the knobby tire?)

trianglelaguna & Locozuna wrote that it has some appeal to them, and thought they might draw fire. No fire from me, people have different tastes - otherwise we'd all be driving the same thing. My point was the guy cut up a totally stock bike only 6 months ago and is now trying to get $750 for something that looks home-made instead of selling it stock. I notice he didn't get $750 (trianglelaguna & Locozuna didn't find it that appealing), but the seller might have gotten his price from someone looking for a beginner bike if he had left it stock. Locozuna said he would "hit it", but apparently that doesn't mean "buy it." I think he'd be lucky to get $350. Ed

well said...and was not poking fun at your statement...its true....a baby stock little z would be 100 times cooler....i missed the "point" of what you meant....and was also only saying that compared to the ones we normaly rip on hard ,that one was reminding me just a tiny bit of the bikes i had seen at the vintage show and was kinda"funky"....a waste of a stock bike for sure...point taken......
