another CL optimist

I have worked on many Virago 750's, beside the starter gear they are not that bad. The 750's seem to have bad head gaskets a lot of the time. Finding a nice 1100 is hard to do but worth it if you can find one.

 

I'd have that tomorrow, if I were nearer.

And another no XJ but worth a look.

It seems to me that the original purpose of this thread has been lost.

 

I am at fault for that as well, I will only post the over priced and funny ones here from now on. I will put the other in the "for sale" area. Thanks for keeping me in check @k-moe.

 

I suggest we continue to post whatever we see interesting from our local classifieds here, or start another thread, doesn't matter.
Better to keep this out of the "for sale" section.
For the simple reason the hangout lounge is to invite discussion, good bad or funny.
The "for sale" section should not be used for discussions except between potential buyer and seller.
People may be reluctant to post an add if they're going to see criticism.
Price is too high, paint is mismatched, whatever.

How would it seem if you were selling an item, potential buyer comes to see it and all your neighbors gather round and start nitpicking it.

I want it. I can afford it. It's close.
I don't "need" another bike. I can't go down that road. - but I want to

 

Well that is a "X" also the good old water cooled bikes with the 5 valve heads...nice....good luck.

This has to be one of my favorites
Title says “I know what I have”
Then the description proceeds to say “I hate admitting that I don’t know motorcycles”

well

 

Looks pretty nice to me. But I would want it at least running. Darn nice trailer.

 

Looks like it doesn't need keys, just a screwdriver. Also missing pegs. What's with the windscreen?

 

Actually, that's a VERY rare optional gauge cover/shroud unit that could be ordered as an accessory from the dealer (was also available for 750 Seca and 750 Maxim clusters, although different in shape, size). The one shown will also fit XJ650 Maxim and 1983 XJ750 Maxim models (since they all use the same clusters). Perhaps it also served as a "mini-windscreen" in some minor capacity, but the intent was to "shadow" the gauges from the weather and light.

 

Yes, they’re pretty rare. I only have two.

 

If you have only two of them, then you know they're needles-in-haystacks rare............

Too much, unless they throw the firewood and burn barrels into the deal.....................

 

And I’ve seen rough bikes before..... but this one——-sheesh

 

Well, at least the price is right.

 

Only if it was silver.
