It is with a heavy heart I offer up my favorite bike, in order to finance a Merkur addiction.

Trades welcome, it's the Miata of bikes, I'd like a Miata of cars.

Known issues are chain, rideable, but not advisable, tires, needs new ones, rear brake lever, it's there but no lil peg.

Bike rides, revs, stops, turns, it does everything it is supposed to.

No rear seat, or plastics, it's very naked, with a newer style sv tail light. Loud, has an aftermarket pipe, viper, and I was told by po it's been rejetted for said pipe. Aftermarket bars, just regular old straight drag bars.
19,000ish miles. I don't wheelie or ride aggressively, I've put on 400 miles at most on this last season.

Price is 2000obo.

Located in MI. Can deliver. http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/mcy/4416067598.html

I don't want to sell it for 1200 to some kid with bad grammar. I understand it's a sort of high price, but I think it's pretty reasonable for an 11 second 50 mpg vehicle. alexkrgrm@gmail.

Somebody wants one, and I want Merkur parts.

The chain has the amount of play that would recommend it's servicing.

It's a good bike, I'm just not inclined to pay 100 bucks for a brake pedal or a Chinese rear set when my Merkur is needing things and I can't daily a one seater bike.

Ugh, I need my tow vehicle back running and driving around.

I need to pick up a Merkur in Florida.
I need to not trade this for a knocking Miata.

Price drop to 1700 local or 1500 for the intrepid soul who cares to venture out and show me an out of state license, or 1800 delivered.

I drove it this morning. It's totally worth it and I think it's honestly quite a steal with people trying to sell gsxf 600's of an older vintage for a higher price on local cl.

Please let me feel good about getting rid of it for significantly less than what I paid for it last year.

Edit: if you send me a phone num that receives video or an email address I will send you a video of it running last night. Vroom, vroom!

Shame the plastics aren't there, that's probably what's hurting you.

Thats a good looking stripped down bike. Add some hard cases to it and ride.

In reply to Cooter: I have sent a video, or rather attempted to but the server is saying no or something so I'll try again when the internet figures it out.

In reply to 92dxman: Thank you!

In reply to yamaha: You are very right, but I had thought the appeal of these was the naked style...

But people have been asking...

There's a difference between naked and not naked when looking at the naked rear subframe.

In reply to yamaha: True, I think it looks really neat though! Skeleton is the old new naked now!

If it had a flat seat to the back and it was completely black...

I wanna keep it again now... Need Merkur money!

I'm at a point of too many projects, and my daily is too wacky of a car and I need an ok daily and money for my race car.

I'm preaching to the choir aren't I?

So my single self says bye toys.. My tow rig needs an engine too. Have pity!

1400 dollars and that's with a case of Dragons Milk and the lowest I could ever let it go for. Priorities. Need cash for reunification with a childhood car.

I need a daily driver. Clear title. Someone needs a dirt cheap SV.

Runs and drives still. Still loud.

If you were in the mid-atlantic, we'd be emailing. MI is just too far.

Where in MI? I am heading to London, ON in a month or so to get my Delica, and could swing through to get the bike. I bet it would fit in the rear with the seat removed.

If that's diesel Celica, or like a d series powered Celica, or like, a Celica with a duramax in it....

Either way. I could tell you that it might fit and I could measure anything you'd need to be sure!

Measure twice ya know!

I have been tempted at wanting a bike recently and that one is my style. However I am closing on a house otherwise I'd be VERY interested right now...

The irony is that I am moving to waterford...
