Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

guessing they'd be 905'ers
the black Ram with Monster sticker crowd
loud pipes on the cage and the bike
bad-ass insurance salesmen
Don't forget the obligatory HD sticker too. It's not possible to leave your house without showing the entire world how awesome you are and how many toys you have.
 
What do you guys think about this:
 
Ok this is what was posted on Facebook - Motorcycle Marketplace Ontario:

1990 HONDA CBR 250RR This bike was imported from Japan and extremely rare in Canada. It’s a 4 cylinder 250cc that redlines at 19,000 rpm and very light and nibble in handling. It has new tires and will have a fresh oil change and tuned for the new owner
Driven 15,000 km
$7,500

Are you talking about the CBR250RR on there? Tough bike to put a value on really. I like them and think it's a pretty cool bike but you couldn't get $7500 from me....that's not to say some collector or guy that's into oddball bikes wouldn't pay it. It's a nice looking bike.

Part of me wants one as it sounds fun. The more practical part of me thinks it may be easier and cheaper to keep a Ferrari on the road than that thing. Without a friend in Japan working to source and ship parts, I suspect it would constantly be in the garage waiting for something to get it running.

Yep that is the one, I copied the content for people to see. I thought it was intersting, so are some of the comments. But yeah the bike does seem to fall into a grey area. Then again it is pretty old.
 
^ new RH bar end
tank is smashed
fairing damage
rattle-can paint on the exhaust

mint condition that bike may be 7K for the right buyer
like that? 3?

no mention of ownership, wonder if those bikes are Transport Canada certified?
neat little track bike, but not for 7K

It's old enough that Canada shouldn't care. They only care about compliance on vehicles less than 15 years old. The US only cares about vehicles less than 25 years old. This is why you can find a lot of vehicles that are "25 years old" that come with bluetooth, abs, fuel injection, A/C etc. As long as the style hasn't changed enough to throw a flag at the border, the new VIN often gets you in.

Literally.

Rode with someone from here 10 years ago that had an 88. Amazing bikes. The sound of the motor alone.
 
7 years back I found a car parts shop in T.O that had a few cbr250rr ready to import from japan. Problem was they wanted me to do all paperwork but wouldn’t agree on price up front. At the time I would have happily paid $3000 for a little rough needing work. Really want an RVF400 but nutty money. Shop in Etobicoke has 250 and 400 cc Japan imports in the $4-$5000 range.
 

Only dropped a few times on both sides. Also cutting out while ridding randomly but continually. A steal at $1700

If it was $700 probably go for it. Had a kill switch recall and ignition switch fails causing problem described. Loads of forum info about this problem.
