WNY ROGO- Yeah, thats the way it works on craigslist.. you don't need to be serious when the add didn't cost you anything.. But when they are serious you can get some good deals... Throw your location in your profile so we can see where you are from and maybe give you some ideas where to find a bike.. Also, memebers here sell bikes all the time..

I think some people paid too much for the bike initially and now they want to try to recoup their cost... too late!

Most bikes are losing investements. That's why you just need to enjoy them while you have them.

Buffalo Ny homie lol. And I can afford something along the lines of 1500 right now. I mean I can go anywhere to pick it up, Im laid off untill April 1st. The longer I wait them more money I save though. Like for example right now I have Fzr funds. But if I wait untill like a week befor I go back to workm well lets just say that might be cbr funds.

I paid a little more for mine but it only had 10,000 miles on it and I bought it back in 04-05? Thats rigt when the gas prices were climbing and not many bikes were for sale.

I would call and get the details on the 91 i posted earlier.. only 4K seems like a deal and he is asking $1500.. I understand it's a long ride for a craigslist deal
