[Chevelle-list] Bike for sale

[Dan@Earthlink]

You can also buy a lot of very nice newer, running cars for the price of a project condition 1969 Chevelle SS, but if you like Chevelles, you're not going to buy the Toyota Prius instead.  

It's fine that you don't think his friends CBX is worth the asking price, but I don't think he asked to be insulted by someone who obviously is not interested in purchasing the bike anyway.

That is all.

  Yes, and maybe to somebody who wants that specific bike, it's worth  
  it. All I'm saying is that you can buy a lot of very nice newer,  
  running bikes for that kind of money.

  Here is the Yamaha XS650 that I bought for $700 last summer, exactly  
  the way it looked after I drove it home:

  It runs great and I'm having fun with it. I have had to do a few  
  repairs but not much. I personally can't imagine spending $3300 on a  
  non-running bike. Heck, last year I bought a non-running 1970 Chevelle  
  for less than half that.
