These days not everyone has a high dollar shop with all the expensive goodies and overhead..

So some folks can still offer bikes at what seems like ridicoulesly low prices.. seems hard to believe but true...

The thing with craigslist is it's free.  So it is painless to put any outlandish thing on there.  If he had to pay a newspaper 15 bucks for a classified ad, he would have put the real price on there, which I imagine would be around $150.

i just saw a '75 cb 750 on cl for about that much but i wouldn't buy anyones chop i would get a bike and make my own and those struts would have to go. let him keep it and show it off awhile and the price will drop to where it should be. look at all the work we have in our bikes, hours of labor and parts. think you are going to recover every penny and make a profit

That ain't coming to my house, even for $150!
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

It has at least $150 worth of parts on it.
