    I can't stop laughing

    Is this guy serious? Please tell me he isn't a member of this site.

    An 1800?

    "I have an Apppraisal from 2011 value at 13,500. The Paint job is Custom and is valued at over 6000.00."

    Q: Steve, isn't the bike an 1100, not an 1800cc motor? dale
    A: When they bored the block they put oversized pistons in it basically making it an 1800.


    Wow, I bet the compression on that really sucks. Going to 1800 would require over a 1" increase in bore size. I'm pretty sure you would be into the cooling fins at that point and the pistons would be really close together.

    No fricken way to get 1800 cc out of an 1100 block. No where near enough metal there. Be like taking a small block 307 chev to a 502.

    He can value his paint at whatever he wants, but I would like to see the written appraisal of $13 thou. Especially on one with that kind of miles. Wonder why there is no bids??

      If it really is such an amazing paint job why not have some pics that show it? And really...all that money and the fairing doesn't even match.....

        I had posted that on another bike site I belong to. Typical eBay "legend in their own mind" seller. This is at least the second time it's been listed.

        Here's another one that has no clue as to what they are selling, but at least the price is more reasonable:
        1982 yamaha gs850g clean

        Sure looks like a Suzuki to me. Note they repeated Yamaha in the description, so it is not an ad typo:
        i have yamaha gs850 motorcycle its a clean bike could use a carb clean and choke handle but thats it otherwise the bike is in amazing condition great cruiser fun to ride email for more pic call if serious 1 802 485 4139 thanks
