I just saw on craigslist a street fighter with full term pipes and all sorts of accessories (Renthal handle bar, crg mirrors, alarm etc ) ..... $14K
Oh, how I wish I had extra $ for that

Also guilty but when you read posts like this how can you find fault:
2004 Ducati Matrix 998. Perfect condition with <2,300 original miles. Not running.
Forgive me but I'm drawn to a garage queen like a moth to a flame. Scored both of my current bikes with the combined price less than the original sale price of either one.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

CraigsPro on the iPhone makes searching all the local CL sites for keywords like "Ducati", "S2R", "Cafe" or even "Yamaha RD" something I do 3 times a day.
But, I am
kind of
hoping to pick up a deal once it starts snowing in the east. So maybe I'm in the market I just can't really afford to be. BUT I have a plan! Buy low and sell high come spring. HA
That brings me to my question. How many of you waste more to coming up with plans or researching specs, upgrades, etc for bikes you don't even own or have never seen that you find on CL.
Now that's when you know you have a real problem

The eBay app saved searches don't help me one bit. Well they make searching really easy, but then I presented with regular updates on stuff I want. A KTM 690 SMC popped up the other day for a great price, 1,300 miles away. Caught myself wondering what'd take to get it here.

Omg - That can't be real. I saw the post. If it is legit, it is probably sold in 10 minutes.
My guess is that It probably is a scam.

In my garage now. Fuel hose was off at the filter. Took 90 minutes to repair including diagnosis.
Gotta love CL!

$5500. All stock. Had to do belts and tires naturally. No didn't wear a mask 'cause it's risky buying a bike that doesn't run.
