The K bikes did some really cool things. Front pad change in less than a minute was another cool trick.I have one. I thought it was a little odd too, at first, but it works well. Pretty easy to change a tire!

I like it but not for 12 g'sI threw up a little in mouth.
TBH you see an increasing number of these on Bikexif these days. They've become quite popular and I'll admit I've slowly grown to like them . Never a bad thing giving an old bike a new lease of life.Hahahaha. wtf are you supposed to do with that thing? Obviously there is a lot of time and money that has gone into it but it is miles away from passing a safety (and when it could, the look would be substantially different). Sad to see that the butchers have moved on to wrecking BMW's but hopefully that means they will leave the poor hondas alone.
So you are supposed to take pictures and never ride it? Is that a new lease on life or doomed to purgatory?TBH you see an increasing number of these on Bikexif these days.

I'd say you could ride that for about an hour (maybe a bit less at my age), which is better than having it as a work of art in your private collection.So you are supposed to take pictures and never ride it? Is that a new lease on life or doomed to purgatory?
Jeez, what's with the Gixxers lately? We've had an old air/oil cooled one, a K5, now a new one. At least the first two are stone classics, this one is definitely not...Kijiji - Buy, Sell & Save with Canada's #1 Local Classifieds

I'm not talking about practicality, I'm talking about legality. I am far from a mechanic and I can see a huge list of things that meed to be done to pass a safety and get a plate (not the least of which is open headers). By the time it was actually road legal it would look like an entirely different bike.I'd say you could ride that for about an hour (maybe a bit less at my age), which is better than having it as a work of art in your private collection.

There are hundreds or thousands of people that have no choice but to leave their bike outside. They have no other option. This guy probably has 3 or 4 bikes in his yard that he bought and was going to restore and never got around to it. This thread is not about that. This thread is about when we see somebody selling a 4 year old bike for more than a new one. Or that guy with the ZX14 asking $50,000 for it. If a bike sells for $5000 and a guy is asking $5400, that's not "stupidly overpriced in my opinion. 60% of the bikes I see posted in this thread are not "Stupidly overpriced", sure the guy might be asking a bit more because of mileage, or full system exhaust...or whatever. It's a free country, he cam "ask" whatever he wants, doesn't mean he's going to get it.More why the f leave a bike outside with the motor open for 10 years.
