Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

Don't know much about the grom other than it's a cool looking little bike and apparently is a great platform for hooliganism.

This one looks really cool to me, seems to have a lot of money in it but 7500?

2017 Honda Grom ,

Price: $ 7,500
That's George, he's well known in the community. He put serious money into that, but no way it's gained value.
 

2015 CBR300R crashed not repaired yet only $3500
Maybe he means you take the bike and $3500 to put it back on the road because he loves honda so much and cant bear to see one mistreated as much as this one has been :)
 
He's trying to get his money back for the parts he has accumulated.

The question that comes to mind however, if it's structurally fine and already has all the parts why not put it back together and then sell?

That's always the question. So many ads follow this formula (very easy to fix, I have all the parts, etc). Normally they are accompanied by a ridiculous price. If it was truly easy and you had all the parts, you would put it back together and sell it complete. That sale would go much faster and attract a higher price (although normally still a lot less than the crazy box of parts asking price).
 
Ummmm, maybe I'm missing something

He also has a 91 gsxr that he has 5300 in to so he wont take less than 5400. When will people figure out that you lose at least half of your restoration costs?

More concerning to me is he has a motor for sale from a 2006 749s. So does the bike he is selling have a replacement motor or did he buy a spare from someone else that had the same year/model?
 
Ummmm, maybe I'm missing something

Yea you missed something.
'This bike is among the collectors list. its class is up from the R rated this is a supper bike.'
Supper bike > leader bike

(also pretty sure the R sits above the S, but what do I know)
 
Supper bike > leader bike

That's gold right there...



I like how he described the bike as violent, great selling point...I can just see some Woodbridge kid bugging his parents to buy it so he can park at Timmy's on highway 7 and pose in front of it wearing his matching sneakers and tracksuit.

No offense to the Woodbridge people, but you know I'm not wrong...
 
Lol. The is no 749"R" model. It's just an "S" model with a bunch of pretty farkles crap. Maybe 5k.
 
10 grand for a 40 year old dirt bike?

I'm always concerned when the pics only show one side of a bike. Even more concerning when they want a lot of money and are a bit of a hike. Ffs people, kijiji allows up to 10 pictures, no ad should have less than 10 pictures.

Even if it was mint it would seem overpriced. But hey you probably won’t find too many 490 single cylinder 2 strokes with left hand side kickstart buzzing around Ontario trails.

Had to watch a couple of YouTube vids. Cool bike.
