Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

Was looking at old Triumphs and saw this dream machine. A real classic with the back end hacked off, cut up fenders, cut seat. In other words, the "classic" value has been destroyed. A steal at $4500. I might pay $1500. What a waste of a bike.

There is still lots of people that will pay.
You're not going to get much Triumph for $1500 any more.

If you're still interested in old Triumphs (not chopped up) I have a '68 Bonnie, a '70 T100R and a '82 T140 (I think it's a TSX) for sale.
... or Nortons. I gots Nortons too.

If there's "lots of people that will pay" they sure aren't showing up because the fool has had his bike for sale for a very long time.

I get what you're saying and agree it's shytty to see that happen to a good bike
but it wouldn't take much $ to make it more stock-like
and if it is sorted mechanically, it is worth some $$
but not $4500

Too many. Yes it's possible to have too many bikes.
I think I have around 25 bikes at the moment. Spread out anywhere I can find parking places. The oldest is a '56 Norton Dommi 99, the newest is a '93 900SS Duc.
I likes Ducatis... gots 4 of 'em('64 Monza, '66 sebring, '73 750GT and the 900SS).
also have a T3 Guzzi and a Laverda SF.
Yeah I can swear in Italian.
I also collect Yamaha twins. I have 6 RD400s, a TZ350B (with less than 20 hrs on it. Still have the original Yamaha spares kit for it),TA125,TR350 (was Dave Hugh's bike, it was at one time the worlds fastest air cooled two stroke. It was clocked at 154MPH coming out of the bowl at Daytona), TZ350G, TZ250G and a RZ with a WickedATV Banshee motor and Gixxer suspension and brakes.

The first REAL road bike I rode when I was young was my cousin's Triumph T100R, sometime around 1970. I loved it.
He sold the bike and got a T120, a 650 Bonny. It is a lot bigger bike. It was too big for me (I was 11) and I got scared.
Seems I still don't like Triumphs... I have a T100R... I hate it.

Wow - I thought my garage was packed - you're inspiring me to get a bigger garage!
 
A plate-able '69 z50 with suspension, chrome fenders and lights would command that kind of coin... that one... $800

Holy crap, I know these go for a premium these days but WTF? $8000 for a z50?!?

Posting is gone, he either sold it for outrageous money or reads gtamotorcycle.

I just took a quick browse of their kijiji store: https://www.kijiji.ca/o-cycle-world-superstore/1006098435/1?referral=organic
By the looks of it, virtually everything they have listed belongs in this thread.
2014 CBR125R @ $3,500 - isn't that almost brand new price?
2012 CBR600RRA @ $10,000 - 7 year old bike for nearly the price of a new one.
2006 CBR600RR @ $7,500
2007 Ninja 650R @ $5,000
2008 YZF-R6 @ $8,000 - weren't these under $10g new in 2008?
2006 Ninja 500R @ $4,500 - this bike is such old tech that it was barely worth $4,500 brand new in 2006, never mind 12/13 years later.
etc.

Who the heck is pricing their bikes for them?

Quoting myself. Thought I'd circle back and have another look. 2.5 months later and it looks like every one of the bikes I listed are still there ... with unchanged prices. Plus a few new ones:
2012 Honda CBR250RA @ $4000 - isn't that what they sold for back in 2012? No depreciation in 7 years?
2015 Honda CBR300R @ $4300 - again, isn't that what they sold for brand new 4 years ago?
2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 @ $4300 - see above.
2009 Kawasaki ER-6n @ $6000
2015 Suzuki GW250F @ $4000 - really? really!? 4 year old used bike with the same price as it had new off the showroom floor.

I don't need a bike, so I don't know why I go to that site, other than for the entertainment value.
