5 dumb things people say when advertising street bikes

A few things rolled into 1 advertisement: http://boise.craigslist.org/mcy/2354125344.html

Technically this is a street bike: http://boise.craigslist.org/mcy/2354551723.html

Seller doesn't say anything dumb; wanted to share the sweet "bike".

For someone who wants to fix a bike up it may not be a bad deal depending on price. At least the frame, forks and wheels should all be okay since it hasn't been wrecked. Maybe a good track bike.

"Only 4,300 ORIGINAL miles". So what you're saying is "don't worry....the odometer didn't roll over on this mint 1992 450 Honda". :huh

1973 Honda CB360 Cafe Racer - "engine does turn over but wont catch because i was told it needs a solenoid for the left spark plug "
"...i know about what this bike is worth so dont ask me $200...ive denied plenty like that already. "

Any takers on this one ? He won't take $200 so I thought I might offer $100 but only if he can find that solenoid for the left spark plug before I buy it.

What a tool. Where is the "cafe racer" part?

Notice he says "Bill of Sale". Have to believe no title.

This one cracks me up: (Seattle CL)

I don't get it.
That's how BMW describes it online, is it a pain to use or something?

Wicked nice Suzuki Ninja!

Just remember: "he only wants to sell it because he wants to buy a boat so that the whole family can injoy it"

This bike runs like a raped ape!!! Not for the weak hearted!!! Just hearing it run will make your heart pound.

And also, " This bad ass chop will rip your head off!"

At least he got the picture in 90 degrees off.

What a dope!

"2003 Yamaha R1 - $4400...Adult owned and ridden. 23k( indicated, not actual see below)... Vortex +4 rear sprocket and RK gold chain (530, this has been on for most of its life so the 23k is more like 16k)"

Hey, let's do the math together! If an additional 4 teeth will change the odometer reading from 16k to 23k, how many teeth were there on the original rear sprocket?

This thread is better than the comedy section

that's funny

The 23k is more like 33k now. I'd say it was the RK Gold chain that did it...

" Custom Paint"

I just called a local seller on his bike. He went off spouting about things that were almost laughable.

"I bet this thing will do high 8s in the 1/4 mile and it's totally stock!" (best mag test on this is mid to high 9 at sea level, we're at 3000 feet)

"Guys walk away in tears because they can't own this, and camera phones are every snapping pictures."

"I have destroyed every CBR1000. I believe Honda makes that."

"The ZX14 rider told me at 165mph I was 1/8 mile ahead."

Asking price is a couple hundred bucks over MSRP. Insurance replaced his exact-same 2010 model due to crash, this 2011 is a few months old (we live in snowy and rainy area) yet has 3000 miles. Asked if his has a fender eliminator which I may have seen around town the seller replied "That's me. Was I in a 1 piece blue and white race suit or an aviator jacket?"

Sorry if this has been mentioned already--I haven't read through this thread yet. My favorite dumb thing said is....

"Dropped by previous owner." Yeah, right!!
