Forgive me for I have sinned.

I've been bitten twice, ...

Is that why your not shy?

I believe that should be shy squared...?

[Major Softie]

Or at least 4 x shy.

Those BC guys really like their CBR125s:



From this:

http://humboldt.craigslist.org/mcy/4156095015.html

My bike, with BC plates, they never sold the CBR 125 in America, but it was sold in Canada. It's a great bike with a great reputation. I'm looking to trade the bike + cash for a small camper, conversion van, mini-van with conversion potential, or a pick-up with a camper.
The Bike
2008
Honda
CBR -125cc
fuel injected, liquid cooled, 6-speed transmission.
can cruise at 60mph with all my gear.
has dual purpose tires, good for on/off road
has an aluminum sissy bar welded onto the rear grab bar, you can't see it clearly, but its holding my back-pack on.
has antique leather saddle bags from a horse, as a tank bag, work great,
has rear saddle bag buckets, work really well too, water tight, easy to remove, if they aren't your style.
included older pictures of the bike before it had all the crazy touring stuff on it.

The good-
just bought and installed new front & rear sprockets and chain,
recent oil change
New rear tire (not currently installed, but purchased)
new front brake pads earlier this summer.
new fork seals earlier this summer.
excellent beginner bike!
runs like a top.


the bad
it's been my 'bush-bike' for a while, so a few drops
missing a mirror,
missing front right signal (should be an easy fix... have the light, and the wires are intact.)
I rode it down from Canada, where I bought it. It has current B.C. License plates.
I've looked into importing it, and it sounds like a huge hassle.
will probably never be street legal in Cali, but the Canadian ownership is legitimate.

Basically have a great little bike, that is mechanically sound, but ugly. It will go forever with basic maintenance, makes a great bike for the cottage, its a fun. It's been my ride for over 8000 miles in the last year, hate to see it go. But I'm hoping to have a little more space to continue my adventure have a couple helmets I would sell with it, and a tool bag with the right metric wrenches.

We get these types of ads from time to time here--people who are on a great adventure who want to switch modes. I sold my VW Bus project shed last year and took several calls from idiots who wanted to know if it would run to, say, Guatemala.

I doubt if it will really do 60 with all that junk on board (notoriously inaccurate speedos), and it's a good thing too.
Can you imagine that in a crosswind?

It does look a bit scary. That backpack is like he's got an 8 foot tall pillion! The price is still an order of magnitude too high for me--it would have to be nearly free for me to contemplate bringing it to the Cali DMV.
