" do some research before spitting out an uneducated offer. Offers of $50, $100 and anything <$200 will be laughed off. "

Send him an offer for $199 ....
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

"Wet Dream of the Week!"   :laugh: :grin: :wink:  Some people are so funny and emotional and totally unrealistic when it comes to selling their vehicles...

IMHO - That is a $500 parts bike at best...and that would be at the high end... :rolleyes: :huh: :rolleyes: :shocked:

Looks like rats must have chewed off the instruments,  nice patina though.

Ya well right after that he says he will not be low balled. So I take say we go 50/50 on which one is the best line but if you put those 2 lines together then the laughter factor goes up exponentially.   :thumb:  :popcorn:

Thinks he's gonna get over "$1K" for it?

Is this just a passively listed Motobecane MonkeyWards ad?

I alike the "I voted for the bill before I voted against it", lawyer-speak; "..I have had the bike running....  I obviously don't run it."
 
I wonder if he'll take BitCoin or my BlockBuster card?

Yeah it's pretty difficult to replace the pan gasket. :sad: I thought maybe the oil drain plug was out and he didn't have the time to screw it in. :laugh: :laugh:

You're dealing with a seller who's seen too many motorcycle auctions on TV.

Exactly.   It's a "Barn Find", those are the magic words with which you can conjure $1200 out of a $350 parts basket.

I'm surprised that there's not a video with it showing someone unveiling it from under a ratty tarp with hay on it.  That would be worth another grand easy ....

I've seen that bike before, same bloated hyperbole.
It is a good laugh. But I would gladly pay him 1k(krugerrand), I can get one for 50USD on the internet. :grin:

It has a "clear title" so IMHO, that's the value of that pile. I'd give a hunnerd bux. If I wanted it...

Sad to see such a beautiful bike in such poor condition.  Laugh all you want, poke fun etc but that is a damn shame.

 Can't you buy one of these in running order for $3K or less ? It's gonna cost that much to bring this one back , probably why he is selling it . The Motobecane thing is cracking me up  :laugh:
