This is 20 minutes from the house. A rebuilt CR for how much? Is this a joke?

[fabiodriven]

Guy is completely out of his mind. I thought at first he had a brand new bike, never run. All that is is a rebuilt CR 500. If that's worth 30k then TecateDan's Tecate should be worth the same.

[ironchop]

must be alot of Meth floating around Paducah

:lol::crazy::lol:

[VenomRS4]

Holy sh!t! Theres a beat up cr500 on craigslist for $900. I better go scoop it right now so I can flip it for $4k!

[300rman]

I told him that if someone offered him 26K for that thing, he better call them back before they change their mind!

anyone notice the allen bolts he used to bolt the cases together/for the motor mounts?

[swifty]

yeah way to step up to the plate with the $26 ufo plastics! its pry got a $12.99 parts unlimited chain on it also! what a freakin clown

[Chazz of Blades]

Well, I know where a few pieces of a late 1940s red cub are, maybe I can sell a couple bolts and half a seat for $20,000 a piece!

[swampthang]

haha this guy must be related to trikebuilder:lol: anyone remember his classic restorations a few months ago? Nice looking bike though,im sure the guy did spend some money on it but damn! come on now asking 12 grand for a starting bid! $3000 would be a load for it.

[Slingblade]

If 26k was offered and not accepted... That was the meeting of 2 fools.

Well put man. shens

[hang&rattle]

Man, gotta like how cocky the guy was though, I'd like to step into that unreal world, lol. But I am very disappointed in the replies from the members. I really thought someone would come up with something much more catchy or funny. C'mon fellas, something witty here, huh?

[cr480r]

i could see a buy it now of 8k.. the more i read of the description the less i was impressed.. nice bike though

I think everyone here is busy buying up every '89 CR500 they can find. How could you possibly go wrong?

According to the ad, he spent $4,000 fixing it up, now it's worth at least $30,000 and will eventually hit $100,000. This is clearlly a 100% fool-proof way to become a Mega-Millionaire!

[Chazz of Blades]

Foot, meet mouth.


Bullshit, meet shovel.

[swifty]

just sent a long message asking how the price is justfied?? say its a $3,000 bike to start then add a $4,000 restore =$7,000 this is something anyone with $7,000 could do so why is his bike worth $15-45k???? very interested to see how he can explain this to me

[300rman]

because its "museum quality" even though the motor has been rebuilt, the fork tubes have nicks and you can bet the swingarm is scratched/gouged.

[code200k]

love how it is muesum quality but has a bored out top end, pro circuit pipe and he never spilt the cases...reminds me of my 89 cr,i miss her

[Griswald]

silngeblade. don't say like that 26k is not much bigger than his likeliness for this bike. let him make his own decision. don't go for the dollars only

[plcrides]

besides the terrible glamour he says the blue book means nothing.thats rediculous.i had a pro circuit pipe once oh what a sweet sound.rinnnggg tinnnngggg tinnngg tiinnnnnggg loved it.

[300rman]

If someone offered me 26 grad for that bike right after i got it finished, and the only condition was that it had to be run through a shredder.....well, lets just say the world would be short one dirt bike.

[swifty]

:he told me its not cheap plastic, UFO is contracted to make plastic for honda so its like oem!:crazy: and honda used procirct pipes on factory works race bikes so thats oem style also! ...... so now i understand the price i was confused!:wondering ..lol.... i was nice and just thanked him for the response and wished him good luck...... hey everyones gotta have a dream

Well good job swifty. Folks this has to be done. Far to many people are becoming more and more stupid in this world and reverse evolution is running rampant. We need to point out, correct and discern the idiot people bringing society's I.Q. to a dangerously unsurvivable level before it's to late.

I don't know how serious you are Hang, but you are completely correct.

I think it is a good sign that people are smart enough not to fall for this. I just can't believe he is trying to make it out to be an OEM NOS style auction when he clearly states that the bike is used and the lower end of the engine is unrestored. Oh yeah, not the stock bore either. And never mind the aftermarket plastic that you can buy for cheap.

Just wait, some idiot will pay 30k for it and we will all be eating crow.

[Chazz of Blades]

Darwin's Law strikes again!

[Ironbnder]

If he was a scammer, we could trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro and complain and run him down. The scary thing is, I think he believes the crap he is saying to be true and valid. There is just no help for that.

[Slingblade]

"If it was in the crate it would go for more than 30K" -- "I'm guessing it will bring in the lower 30k range".

I got a chuckle out of that part.

[Chazz of Blades]

Yes there is!!!



Dr. Chazz recommends an ounce of lead to cure those ego problems.

[Xpress]

I found this ad the other day. Guy is out of his mind, I even sent him a message asking if he was serious. His response was a chitload of BS :lol:

[300rman]

he messaged me back.....

"i sold it this morning to a guy in florida for 29500.. hmm.."

wow. this guy is an idiot.

[Xpress]

^Both of them :lol:

Wonder what the look on the idiots face will be when he realized he got seriously ripped off when he tries to re-sell it...

[Chazz of Blades]

Let's just pray that by some strange coincidence it was Padilla who bought it.......

[swifty]

he emailed me the same thing, sold it this morning for $29,500 hmm... well hmmm why didnt the guy just bid on it on ebay and won it for $12.500 since there were no bidders..hmmm clowns!

[Dirtcrasher]

Guess I should have kept my 93 CR250 - Claimed it was the only chassis Jeremy McGrath would run; I'd be 25K richer :D

I do miss the bike, what power and fun and any hill was right at your throttle hand. A few broken bones later, I dumped it and got an ATC250R that I hit the backhoe with in front of then "girlfriend"; I stick with 4 pokes now............... :lol: It's the best safety I know :D

[Maico]

Bullshit....plain and simple.

[bigbadktm]

if he sold it why does he still have it up for sale? my KTM was a 2000 250EXC, now I'm not going to do the math at how much newer my bike was, how much more advanced and most likely just as fast, but I sold mine for $1900. so if this is like a classic mustang I would understand the change in value of old vs new, but this is simply a restored "used" bike, maybe restored isnt the right word for it, more like rebuilt. my 85 250r will be "rebuilt" soon, so what does that put the value of that at? im gonna try and sell it for $4k, any takers, i'll even post it on ebay for the world to bid on...lol

[300rman]

If its up for sale again, tell me where?

[bigbadktm]

never mind...lol i missed that the auction had ended, he must have wised up cause I doubt that anybody bought it at any price

[rray62]

I wonder how much I can get for my '95 :wondering
