It might not be too bad if the seat had a cleaner look to it...it looks like it was just chopped off.

i like the idea of it! :)
but then again i like bobbers... this isn't a stellar example of it, but i still like the idea.
I am surprised no pointed out the fact that the seller calls it a "900" and it is obviously a wet clutch motor...probably a 750....maybe an early 620 since he says it is carbed and it looks to have been robbed of any immobilizer kind of functionality with the lack of stock instrument cluster...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the 620 always been injected?
By "early 620" did you mean a 600?

01 620 I believe was carbed...
It's hardly the first bike I've seen that sort of thing done to, and it appears to be of middling quality.
I dislike it greatly.
I'm not sure if I hate it more or less than the insanely upturned tail section that the Germans seem to love.
[thumbsdown]
I would slide right off the back of a seat like that. That craigalist puke colored bob-monster is very scary, not hot.
Atleast he left the buddy pegs , for someone to stand on them like your friends did your pegs on your bmx bike for a ride.
Horrid.
Last time i checked Bobbers had the rear suspension replaced with a solid tube. Hence "bob" This looks like just a seat chop.
[thumbsdown]
Fail on every level

check again, bobbers get their name from the "bobbed" rear fender. the rear suspension was never "replaced" with solid tube, it never had one in the first place.
bob the fender, take off everything you dont need, add style=bobber. that dude on craigslist forgot the last two parts of the equation.
So far..Jimmy's extreme tail chop in Austin is my favorite. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic and I haven't seen him on the boards since it was TOB.

'01 was carbed but it was a 600. In '02 the engine grew a bit and picked up fuel injection.
i agree that's not a bobber, it's just a bad seat chop.

thanks for the clarification....it was always a grey area for me where that got implemented..
i like the idea of the seat "bob" i think the person here could have done the seat a lot nicer and made it look alot cleaner, the bike itself is just kind of ugly dont like the color.

Bobbed Monster ^^^. Any ?'s....
That thing by a crude and loose definition is a bobber as it has had things removed from it, but it was done w/o rhyme, reason or vision... And for that, I +1 the FAIL.
orrible'
