My motor guy buddy knows I do not have much to do with craigslist listings but felt compelled to send me this.
Enjoy

"There are a lot of $2,000 bikes on Craigslist that would cost an additional $2,000 worth of work to be worth, well, $1,000."

Haha best part is at the very end, "I only look at [Craigslist] 4 or 5 times a day now" so true... Lol

Good article John.You have to take your chances with craigs list, hoping to find the one fool with a 250r that doesnt know what he has and will trade you for a toster. I can only amigine some of the stories craigslist could tell....

Very good read Johnny.

Most of my CL experiences have been with bad buyers as opposed to sellers. The buyers are just as bad as the sellers this guy is describing.

That article is sooo true its scary!! You have to really read through all the bs "runs strong" "great condition for its age" garbage when dealing with cl. At least with the old Cycle Trader the $25 dollar ad kept most of the squids away.
