That is quite possibly the best Craigslist ad that I have ever seen. I don't even like those bikes and I want that one.

That thing is clean and beautiful. I've been looking for a bike again and if I had the money me and my truck would be heading across the state. You should have no trouble with that sale!

Tempting. Very tempting. Had some many years ago, dandy bikes.
I could sell my scruffy Virago and almost break even on this.

Have you had the timing tensioner update done?
Any problems with the stator or the Comstar wheels?
That's a really really sweet bike. I'm glad and sad its so far away.

Nope, that was an '80-ish Honda 400 auto.

That's a terrible CL ad. In not one of the photos is the motorcycle obscured by a tree.

How big of a GRM discount are we talking here?
And do you accept interesting trades?

Thanks guys. I like to let pictures tell the story. Download Picassa by Google and you can upload pics to an online account and share them in listings like that.
The tensioners were issues on earlier bikes, they were redesigned by 1980 and do not require an update.
I have had no issues with the stator, again, later bikes do not seem to be affected.
The Comstar rims are tough as nails. I have never had an issue when having tires mounted or getting them balanced. I great design IMHO. The Harley-specific Dunlops on there now are awesome!
The GRM discount is generous, but still 4 figures. I need cash for new saddlebags more than trades. Besides, I probably already have it!
