    I just went out to the garage and hugged my Seca... whispers, "This will never happen to you baby..."

    That is really sad, all that work to make it what it is now and still no title. Some folks sure work backwards in doing things. It might not be able to even get a title if they find out it is stolen or salvage in the past. All's it needs is everything else that you don't see in the pic...and a title...

    To each their own but please keep these bikes lines looking stock...they are so nice that way. imho

    Not Craigslist, but its'a good deal for parts. When I saw it, I couldn't help but think... "Can you flip it over so I can see the other side?"

    Agreed. Wonder how far it is from @xHondaHack ? He has built a few beautiful 700x’s (750x’s now that I think of it?!?) and might like to warehouse the parts...

    ^^^I would love to be close enough to grab that Midnight, love the look of the gold wheels on those bikes. That is a great price for either parts or to flip...keep.

    It's actually mine... need the garage space.
    It only cost me the $60 for a trailer and gas to go get it for free. I was going to part it but just no time....

    I agree. That would look great sitting next to the one I have already. Little too far for me to drive right now

    The guy who posted to the the ad obviously doesn't know what he has for motorcycle which makes it great for knocking down the price he's trying to sell it for. You show up and then say what the hell it's only a 700 I really wanted 750 he'll get all embarrassed and sell it to you cheaper. I tend to pray on those who don't know what bikes they are selling I don't know if it's a good thing or not but if they don't know what they're selling I should certainly get some money out of them for educating them.

    That bike in Daytona is nice looking, he could put the Euro-spec blue stripe kit on it and it would like like a very rare import............

    Funny he says it’s a European import for one year
    —— is that why it has an mph speedo?
    —— in Europe it was just an xj650
    —— they were Japanese imports here.....

    I loved the look of the XJ650, that one is Daytona it a nice bike. A friend had a XJ 550 he bought new but I prefered the 650 because it did not have a chain final drive. Awesome bikes I am glad I got the 900f.

    It's actually antibacterial ointment. You'll need gobs of it for the road rash you're going to get the first time one of those 5" wheels meets the tiniest pavement imperfection.
