Craigslists: "Dumbass of the week" Nominee

LOL! I bet the breeze t 60 mph would dry them pretty fast. Just remember to bungee them down first!

Doubtful that thing can't go 60mph anymore.

Nothing wrong with the sale or the bike, aside from being overpriced, but apparently some designer at "Triump" went 22 years into the future and saw an XS1100 and decided that would be the design to base the Bonneville on.

This one takes the cake:

I looked at the photos first, and was wondering why there was one of his mom/girlfriend with the bike. Then I read the text and found out...

"Pay full price ill make it a good biker deal and we will tag team my girl "

What!? Is that supposed to help sell the bike? You would have to pay me to go anywhere near her...

It's a freaking dish basket that he stole from the kitchen...

Not a huge deal, except that both the model name Ally and the item itself "goggles" are printed on the "new in box" that he describes in the ad, as we all see.

Avoid scams, deal locally! Do NOT wire funds (Western Union, Moneygram).
Beware cashier checks, money orders, shipping, non-local buyers/sellers. More info

I think the sell forgot to google the spec

The bike you SEE (at first) is not the bike you BUY (for $750).

The bike you buy looks better than the bike you see...IMO.
Not a terrible price either.

A Ninja 250 twin with a 4-into-1 header.

2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250 - $1900 (Chester, VA) <SECTION class=userbody><FIGURE class=iw>


</FIGURE><SECTION id=postingbody>Very clean, Black with red strips, new tires, 4 to 1 header exhaust/after market, low mileage (7441 miles), new battery and a great starter bike! $1900 or OBO! Please call me at 804-852-3789 if you are interested.

How exactly is that an engineering feat and qualify as "dumbass"? That's a pretty normal thing.

4-1 header on a twin? Not very normal if you ask me.

Hah, totally missed that it was a twin -_-

AHEM ...

"Power for the Ninja 250R comes from a high-revving, liquid-cooled, in-line twin-cylinder four-stroke engine featuring dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder."​

Two exhaust ports per cylinder ...

Fred always has my back.

Two exhaust VALVES per cylinder do not two exhaust PORTS per cylinder necessarily make. I am not familiar with that engine but I did not think that it had two pipes coming off each cylinder even if it did have four valves per cylinder and this photo of the Ninja engine from that very link appears to support that. I could be wrong and often am.

Not as dumbass as some of the dumbassery that's been posted here, but this ad on the local CL caught my eye. Here it is, complete, and unedited:

Dual sport - $1200
<SECTION class=userbody><SECTION id=postingbody>Needs gas tank and battery and trotal wire

Yep. That's it. That's all the information you get.

Well that is enough information for me to know I'm not interested...
