Browsing eBay instead of working, I found this diamond in the rough. Well more like a turd in the rough.

He had it up to second gear in his garage! I hope it was on the center stand at the time. And, oh yeah, the horn works. The Mickey Rourke autograph probably makes it all worth while though! huh.gif

maybe if alec baldwin signed his autograph i'd buy it. goofy.gif

they are fun old bikes to someone one with the time and money to fix them up.

Like they say, you can't polish a turd.

Uhm...buy it, strip it and sell the parts.

It was somewhat painful to read the description. No one should let a 500 Interceptor decline to that state! And and '86 too! Oh, the humanity! goofy.gif

Hey the HRC stickers are worth the asking price !
Doesn't look to bad really and would part out nicely. beer.gif

HAH!! 2nd gear in the garage.... thats great!! Maybe his garage extends into a sloping decline where he washes and waxes all his toys and 'projects'. HEY!! Maybe that turd IS polished... That is the polished state.. goofy.gif

Can you imagine what a 929 motor would do to that frame and swingarm. *twist - bend - break* Poor bike. I agree with Bailey, looks like a good parter outer. + the horn works, that is when you know you have a winner.

I know, Ialmost want to buy it, actually wash it and polish it up and put it back on e-bay. biggrin.gif

if you have the money and time to separate the part you could easily make a thousand bucks on it. i'm rebuilding my 1984 vf500f the fairing alone new is 1200 bones. sell each bit and piece and you could really make some money.

Next bid is $215, and the reserve is already met. What are you guys waiting for? goofy.gif

I'm waiting for a larger garage. tongue.gif
