What part of the country are you that they're giving away nice CBs? Like mentioned above I feel like an idiot for paying $900 for my 550K in the condition it was in.

Seems like the mid-west has the best deals on these old bikes.

I found my 550 in Iowa for $600.

Found my 500 in Michigan for 200. Just watch Craigslist like a hawk and they come up every couple months. Jam your butt in the truck and go pick 'em up - great deals. Take cash. There are 3 bikes at sub 300 up right now in my area. Just need a little love! ;)

You are correct there. I was browsing feebay and saw tons of great deals on sweet looking bikes but by the time you add the $700-$800 for shipping it put it in local price range here on the PNW. Plus buying bike based on lousy pics is dicey.
