He's insane with that asking price

 

[Blankpage]

Good thing he's not in a hurry to sell. He'll be its proud owner for a long time unless he cuts his price in half and then subtracts another $1K from that

 

[Smilygo]

License plate is not installed properly. It will attract LOW's attention.:laughing

Maybe this is really Triple Threat selling another optimistically-priced motorcycle?

BTW, if you read this, Triple Threat, last you stated was "I have a "really" strong offer pending" - did you sell the bike?

If he did that I'd want it. If it were a CS-2 Standard or CS Tracker. And street legal.

RYCA...is that the company that sells the brat kits? :laughing

an '05 RC51 is worth about that in good condition, more in excellent condition:facepalm

Decent looking bike, too bad the engine's cam chain tensioning system is a complete piece of shit.

Seriously, who designs an engine that the cam chain has to be replaced every 10-15k miles?

I think that problem is overstated. I owned a DR650 and never had an issue and it isn't mentioned very much on ADVRIDER.com.

 

[Ogier le Danois]

I think a reasonable higher price would be $4,000. The Suzuki 650cc motor is a decent performer and if one wanted a reliable well thought out cafe design they could do a lot worse.

That being said I would be topped out at about $3,000.

Not overstated.
Cam Chain system design is a piece of shit. Period. End of Story.
I had one grenade on me at 20k miles.
Literally, grenade.
The tensioner is designed in a way that a metal plunger and spring can actually pop out, and wreak havoc inside of the engine.

Pictures cannot lie: Here's your proof that it's a piece of shit.

2 More millimeters, and it grenades. This is ALWAYS less than 20k miles.
Here's another engine. 14,000 miles.

Here's another engine.

There are a ton more, just like it.

Look up the Savage forum and read about the Verslavy mod.

That is how you fix it.

 

[GAJ]

Nice looking but plate position and lack of rear turn signals might get you into fix it heaven with the LEO's.

Damned expensive to boot.

The kit is $2,500 (before tax and options) so, obviously, you aren't going to get it for $3,000.

 

[yodaisgod]

LOL @ the price. Good luck.

We can say that because it's not in the for sale section. :x

 

[Dvs510]

:shocker $6,800? WTF? Man you can find a nice Sportster decked out for that price! Yeah he crazy for thinking he's gonna get that much!

 

[channelcat]

eh, its art...

 

[Toast]

I don't know if buying it as a kit counts as art.

Those kits are actually pretty cool (eye of the beholder... I know)
The biggest problems for me would be wondering about the quality of craftsmanship on the build side and the condition of the engine on the donor side.
That said, I have toyed with taking on one of these projects but would only be interested if I found the donor bike and I did the build.
Beyond that, I don't see the point.
