Wow.
Check out the kitchen drawers in the background. A1 maintenance there.

I'm sure his landlord loves him using the living room as a garage space as well. Nothing compliments a parquet flooring like a giant kickstand gouge.
 
The bike looks nice...the place looks like a dump, what's with the garbage bag taped to the wall? Hiding a hole perhaps?

Not sure what those are worth and how it compares to a modern crf50 but you can buy two for what he's asking.

That probably covers a window in his front door. I can only imagine the moisture problems in that house.
 
They're worth what you can get someone to pay for it.
Worth implies value, which is subjective (Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance).
The POS is worth nothing to me, BUT you have to consider; How many 1981 monkey bikes, in good shape, are left out there? I'm gonna bet not many.
I own a 1974 Yamaha production racer that is, for all intents and purposes, brand new, zero miles.
As a rider, the thing is worthless. It is dated, hard to get parts for, non competitive in vintage race classes... and who in their right mind would RIDE a brand new 50 year old bike?
Somebody is going to give me box full of monies for that thing... cuz it's the only one left.
In the world of collecting, scarcity = value.
... if you can find a 1969 monkey bike, with suspension, chrome fenders and lights (all OEM), in decent shape, I have a buyer that will give you upwards of $10,000USD for it.
... any Ducati bevel twin sells for STUPID money, where a Laverda twin of the same vintage, which is a superior motorcycle in EVERY way, sells for a third as much.

I have seen them go for $500 unrestored and running.

"I know the worth of my bike". Ok, then why are you asking double or triple?

Almost every mod they did actually devalues the bike.

If it was maintained so well, how the hell did it need a new chain before 9K?

She knows because all the other scene kids at the Strada meets told her it was mad dope and worth that much. I can't find the "built not bought" stickers on it in the pics, though. Looks like a riced out civic, but scene points...

Probably needed a new chain for the same reason it needed new fairings.

Joking aside, I was reading about yellow headlights the other day and am curious if they are actually better than white lights. Apparently they produce less glare to oncoming traffic and provide better visibility down the road for the driver?

"Bike is in perfect condition - no damages $9,500 BRAND NEW - ASKING $7500 Serious people only - NO LOW BALLERS I Know the worth of my bike . Thank you "

Yup, no damage, because it's all been repaired. Must have been bad with new fairings and everything else. Should have just wrote the usual "small damage from previous owner" line.
