Nice condition, looks to be all original, doesn't look like it will need very much spending on it, only 2000 miles.
Are you going to have a bid on it?
Good luck if you do. |

I recently came across one some guys were renovating
which was in its original drab green.
They were a post war development of the mini bike designed to
be dropped in containers by parachute in WWII
IIRC they made them from 1948 to 1954 ish but they didn't have the popularity of say the NSU Quickly and Mobylette type mopeds
and were reputed to be somewhat slow even for an 80cc 2T ____________________ bikers smell of wee |

its basically a toy.
Tiny, under powered, shit brakes and lights, no suspension
Be OK for a circus clown to ride I spose
I've seen a 1950 Veloctte LE on Ebay for less than that
which would be lot more suitable and safer ( and fun!) to actually ride. |
My thoughts exactly - a clean, running late model FZ750 with less than 50K on the clock sold for 750 quid in the last day or two.. its not like teh Corgi is even a war relic. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Here is a pretty majestic machine if you like cruisers. Hard to beat the performance/cost value of a bike like this. Basically a VFR cruiser, these engines are robust and long lived. At $2600 USD, I think that this bike could be an excellent value for someone willing to invest a little time and effort to return it to roadworthy condition.

We're all so snooty about "American" cruisers but it doesn't seem to go the other way. Yanks have nothing but love for Triumphs ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Interesting commentary here. Sure, we have oversize automobiles because we have oversize roads and oversize parking spaces; but that has been fading away for maybe 20 years now. Big-ass SUVs built on truck platforms (Suburban, Expedition, etc) have fallen out of style in favor of Prius and Tesla. Probably a good thing.
As for cruisers, bikers here are pretty divided over that as well, and my observation is that cruiser riders are derided on most motorcycle forums, and especially sportbike forums. Form over function is my opinion of cruisers, it's about style. Driveway jewelry. But, given the amount of chat focused on bikes like the Keeway Superlight, I'd be inclined to disagree with you about it never being a European thing. Maybe it's just perception, but that's my view.
I tend to agree with Easy-X about Triumphs. To me, they are the "anti-Harley". ____________________ History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men - BOC |

I owned one in Zimbabwe, cost me Z$50 in 83. It was fun to thrash about the bush on but I spent as much time on the floor after falling off as I did riding the thing. ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors, get 115 on your licence today. |

Every time I check the local listings, I seem to wind up back at this one. Not as desirable as the 305cc CA77 Superhawk or Scrambler, but nice nevertheless. Especially at this owner's asking price. No title is a bit of a put-off, but that is a hurdle that can probably be overcome. Low cost entry into vintage japanese motorcycle ownership for those who appreciate the lightweight twins of the 1960's; who never got on the UJM bandwagon.

Yes, I'm sure it does. The states are like 50 fiefdoms in that regard.
After my dad died, I took his pickup to register in California. I had his bequest and his death certificate in hand when I went to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles. No. They made me go back to Oregon, get an Oregon title in my name, then bring the Oregon title to California. Only then would they register the vehicle in California. Often times I'll see out of state vehicles for sale here. I'll never buy one, the hassle is not worth it. |
Similar hassle between Canadian provinces. I brought a 2016 KTM 1190 in Alberta for $2k less than the going price in Saskatchewan.
To register l had to get an official VIN search done at a SGI (Saskatchewan government insurance) office in person followed by a mechanical inspection (which the retard who carried out failed the bike on a bald front tire, which still had over 3mm left and was apparently bald between the tread blocks on a TCK70 ).
Then finally l had to pay 6% used vehicle sales tax in person after they called a SGI employee in another city who has a paper book with market values. This employee was on a coffee break so we had to wait 15 mins for him to return as no one else is allow to use the book. Then after another 15 mins he was unable to find KTM 1190 in his book which is probably years out of date so he made up a reasonable market value to tax me with. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

Completely off-topic but which province would you rather live in: Alberta or Saskatchewan? My gf (probably will be wife eventually) is Canadian from Quebec and my intention is to "retire" to Canada eventually but it sure as fuck isn't going to be Quebec or Ontario. |
Alberta for sure though Sask is a close second, Manitoba is a muddy swamp and all other provinces are more far-left and overpopulated. Quebec for all its negatives is the most motorcycle friendly province and the women are smoking hot.
Would also have to be small town/rural 30-45 mins from a city and nowhere near a reserve.
Alberta has
No provincial sales tax
More work opportunity's
Less harsh winters
Cheaper booze
Cheaper and more choice of vehicles
