another CL optimist

Oops! Matti forgot to read the articles. Distracted by the sexxxy pictures! Wait, is this the Playboy thread?

 

I like Radians, but something about the angle of the bottom of the tank looks awkward to me. I prefer parallel to the ground, or sloped upwards towards the bars.
Also, from the first ad: "Please do not try to buy this without speaking to me or stopping by. " How exactly does one do that?

 

He means his wife will sell it for much less if he’s not home.

 

bike is at someones elses house, maybe ex wife

 

Haha. Should have thought of that. My wife almost lined up a sale of my Rebel for me yesterday! Some guy was over to check out some stuff she had for sale and saw it in the garage, and wanted it. In her defense, she told him it's because I WILL be upgrading! To be honest, ease of reselling was part of the reason I bought it.

 

Always liked the looks of the radian... the one I ever test drove was a piece of crap though...

 

Ooo, that red one is nice

 

This one may be a bit optimistic.

Ummm.. extra zero? I've never seen a bike like that before, and it looks pretty mint, but 16k? C'mon! That's more than a new Ducati! I love the"TURBO" on the exhaust, though.

 

At least it looks to be stock except for the paint.

Missing the power lock chain though.

 

very optimistic about the brakes

 

If parts are cheap for the brakes, why doesn't he do them, it will improve odds of a good sale...

 

Nice. But ouch for the price Just too optimistic imo

very nice but it is missing the seat strap, not stock mirrors. would like a photo of other side
and very overpriced

 

Is the "550 four" decal on the side cover stock?

 

Sure is pretty though.

 

no also looks like aftermarket blinkers should be chrome

 

550 four is what my dad's Honda CB550 said on the side covers.

 

If you look at the background there is at least three other bikes back their and that is just on the one side of the garage. I would guess lots of the LTC was done to the bike and maybe even hand painted "550 four" on those covers? That or dkavanagh is right and those are Honda stickers on there...lol

 

Hmmm...could be a winter project or a parts bike for someone.

Now this might be a deal? 3 Turbos anyone?

This is what my dad had. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery/Honda CB550 74.jpg

 

Not too far from me.....
Don't think I need two.

Looks like a Texas license plate. The sticker on the headlight might indicate an auction item.

 

Which could also mean a title could be an issue or at least involve lots of paperwork to acquire.

 

In Wisconsin it was not bad to get a bonded title and have the state send me a bonded title. It was only two forms and then a phone call to a bond agency, $100 for the bond and the normal money for the other paper work and I had a title for a bike that had none. Not too bad if you find a really good deal.

 

Interesting. I have stumbled across a 550 Maxim with no title. Granted it's missing a few parts but there enough to do something with if I can get a title for it...

 

Then there's this little guy:
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-scooters-po...py/1305212265?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

 

Talked to him awhile back. He stated it was a trade in on a car. I never talked further after realizing he had zero idea about it and wouldn't send me a pic of the inside of the tank. At least I asked for one. Hmmmm. Maybe it's still in the works. Just can't drive 3 hours and then find out it's worth 200$ And then do the mandated title and taxes etc from a sales lot

 

I just got a email from him, will not send more pics and will not give any more info on the background of the bike...Good luck on that sale....

$100 and has right side cover

 

....and a 750 Seca tank----does that make it a 700 Seca? Lol

 

yes it does only built in 83....
sad sad shape

 

And the experimental fabric carbs...

 

And the Honda turn signal

 

So, a 1983 Hondaha 700 Seca?

 

I think it's beautiful.

Would that be a naked bike, or have a pair of big headlights? Airhead? Liquid-cooled?

Matti will be here shortly-----

 

And a nice looking left exhaust.
Have seen a lot of rough looking 650r's and it seems that the mufflers hold up well, even when neglected. And looks like it still has the big headlight.

 

If there's a naked airhead with big headlights, Matti will be there shortly.

 

because it is liquid cooled.

 

First one that came to mind is Jenny McCarthy
