Ebay 'WTF' bikes

Post by KungFooBob »

I've been posting these on the 'interesting bikes' thread, but its about time they had their own place...

This isn't terrible, it's not exactly concours either, but the price makes you say WTF!

It was a factory colour 'Candy Apple Red' iirc, however the original decals were a teeny bit classier.

Big problem on XJ600's is the joints between the downpipes and the silencers rotting out. I'm guessing this guy was just looking for a cheap fix with readily available parts.

Looks like it's going to be sketchy for ground clearance, but if you get that far over on a divvy you're already in trouble!

I didn't think it was possible to make a Divvy less desirable, but that guy has nailed it.

That seat is fucking horrible, wtf was he thinking?

2009 low mileage Speed Triple is worth maybe £4500. Parts to put it back to standard £2k, My labour charge £1k.

£1500 seems like a reasonable price for it

You fooled me, I really thought it was your bike with a clever "don't buy my bike it's rubbish" negative adverts.
