LOL. Amazing. I paid $700 for my complete and original bike (not running at the time) in March.

ok that is pathetic. I would email the guy and tell him 200. After a month, he will most likely respond.

It is tempting so send an "are you insane' e-mail. But then I think what a douche like move that would be, and the temptation passes.

The seller will learn fast enough that he is selling a $200 parts bike.

I can't believe he actually put the tired phrase of "needs carbs to run" in there.

Yea...along with the other half of the bike.

You guys are being too harsh. He is throwing in a custom crash bar, and that back tire looks like it still has plenty of thread on it.

Could be a typo, maybe he meant $100 instead of $1000.

$2K minimum bid, wow. Based on the 12 ratings he has, none of which are less than 3 months old, Buffalobob isn't an active eBayer. I am tempted to watch this one just to see it get no bids.

" Why does anyone get offended by what someone does to their own bike? I dont get it. "

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Drink fast, drive slow, but ride it like you stole it
