haha. I didn't bid or even try to contact the guy. I have no bike at all right now so I'm just keeping my eyes out for a project.
You make a good point.
What do you mean by "stuffed" motor? He said it ran when it was parked.
I guess I see it this way: so long as it's running, has no severe mechanical issues, and I can make it look decent, why not? If I have to put 500...

I bought this one in super crappy condition late 2011 as my first motorcycle. Last spring I repainted all the fairings white, then this spring I...
I stumbled on this video today. Pretty cool! The creator put the V4 firing order in a music program as a drum. I think it's pretty neat....
