With all of our talk about Facebook...
I don't use it to broadcast what I had for lunch or to tell everyone I know how my doctors appointments go, but I do look at Marketplace, since it's replacing Craig's and OfferUp as an online clearing house of interesting things.
Like this... don't see how it is road legal in the U.S., and it probably wouldn't be in California under any circumstances. But man do I want it!
I met up with a guy at a local biker spot a few years ago with one. He put a plate from another bike on it, and just banked on not being pulled over.

it's maybe 6 years shy of being legal as an import, but boy howdy is it clean.

What history / details am I missing? What's not legal about it?

I imagine it has a Nevada plate, as that's where it's being sold.
As much as I'd love to have it, the only way I could would be to replace our CB300R with it. And that is ostensibly Mrs. Gone's bike for whenever she'd like to take up riding. She's been talking more about it lately. I'd rather have her first bike be a cheap, easy-to-fix 300 than a rare, unobtanium black market import.

A few decades ago I knew a guy who had about a dozen bikes. Only one of them was registered, and he would just use magnets to hold that plate to any of the bikes. He was never pulled over and did it for the several years I knew him.
