Boered Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 looking for a toy.. this has come up for the right price, has been painted, including frame, nice work.

stealth bomber Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Are you looking for a diver or more of a garage jewelry type of bike? Not sure how many miles I'd want to put on that thing. Cool old bike though for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old brit bikes need constant wrenching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying these old bikes state side no longer makes sense, travel, RIV fee ans exchange kills it. Unless it simply cannot be found here and you have to have it. Six years ago, for sure.

stealth bomber Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 A friend of mine bought a neglected, rough looking as fuck Yamaha 650 Maxim for a couple hundred bucks. He did it up bobber style, flat black everything. Put maybe a grand into it in tires and aftermarket parts, now it's a pretty cool backroad blaster. I wouldn't mind having something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted June 18, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 18, 2017 That looks cool. If it's what you want, fuckin grab it. It will be fun no doubt. Riding it and just lookin at it. I semi restored an 84 GPz750 a few seasons ago. Great fun. I do dumb things on it. Lol. I haven't got it out yet this year, needs carb work. again. I had the most fun and most frustration painting it.3 times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealth bomber Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 38 minutes ago, toslow said: yeah there is a few of them old XJ models that are bobbed out, they look pretty bad ass With a lower seat, some good pegs, grips and the right bars it is way more fun to ride than a stock 650. Plus after opening up the exhaust, jetting the carbs and ditching 100 pounds of useless crap it's a decent performer. Fun hunting for trick parts on eBay, no worries about stone chips, scratches or having to polish any chrome. I'd like to build something similar with old school knobby tires. Maybe start with a Honda CB 750, always wanted one of those. Had the 500 four version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
