CBX that wants to follow me home. On Craigslist

[Obliviontoad]

I’ve used up all my karma points for the year, so this is a no-go for me. But when I see one, I can’t help but dream a little. Craigslist will make anything look good. This one is $2000. In Central New York.
CBX

$2000 sounds too good to be true. The pic looks very very good. If it runs at all, it's well worth the asking.

Considering this similar one is $6500, it does sound too good to be true:

1982 CBX1100

He wants $2500 just for a second engine he has.

I have owned 5 CBX's and that sounds very cheap to me !

 

[HondaJon_imp]

Indeed.

Super cheap and the wording used in the ad is odd at best.

Could be a scam

I try to avoid Frankenbikes. Theres a CB 500 over here that just looks awesome, but I know the seller has duct taped it together and avoided pictures of the stuff that matters. If I get a chance, I may try to go see this CBX and be prepared to be let down. Pretty sure its a train wreck.

I showed this ad to my friend (who has two CBx's) and he was no f...ING way that's a legitimate ad! He has one that we actually call Franky because all cut up and stuff and he said he wouldn't sale it for less 3k.

Well I looked on CL for one local to me and found one!
Only $11,000. But it is red.

I had 2 CBXs My 1980 had D&D 6 into 1 exhaust and sounded like something out of star wars. My '82 had Kerker 6 into 2 cause I wanted to balance them with the side cases. They sounded not-so-good. But I loved both bikes . If you get a chance to ride , or buy, a good one ....go for it.

Is a new in the crate CBX worth that?

 

[Cormanus]

I guess we'll find out.

Maybe to somebody but not to me.
