    One of my pet hates. As is saying new beaks, or break lever, break pads etc.
    As well as no punctuation or one very, very long sentence.

    Yes! The description that has NO punctuation, no full stops, no capitals no line break. They just leave you to guess where punctuation should be, and their grammar is terrible, too, so it kind of makes sense either way.

    I have a habit of leaving words out, so I'll say thanks to @GreyImport for fixing my errors.

    Are you effing kidding? Dealers had trouble moving them back when new because they were slow heavy underpowered turds of bikes. Cannot see it being any better because he cut it up and painted it black. :lolsign:

    That vfr400 is slowly getting cheaper. But I'd keep waiting, from what I hear.

    But after reading the description, I'd offer less (needs tyres, chain, left switchgear). But was it Dennis that was looking for a cb250 for his wife? Tamworth crew?

    Hard to find because they got thrown out - harder to find working. :p

    How do we break the bad news that his bike is worth $900 working and 100% complete? I know what it's like, you're trying to regain something for your work.

    You never earn back what you put into bikes when selling them...
