Title: RD250 (?) $600 in Austin, Tx
Post by: hayduke on October 02, 2020, 10:24:12 AM
Howdy gang, this looks like a good set of bones for someone, $600 with a title... not mine...

Someone needs to explain to me what "restored" or in this case "partially restored" really means. It seems that at some point over the years the definition has changed. :help:

Apparently it means someone took fenders off, put on ugly seat and gave it very bad rattle can paint job. Don't know about you but would rather have the before in bed bike than after. Not a bad price and he may be ready to deal too, would take a look if near me.

I'm with RDFL, I would much rather have the bike in the original state before the seller "partially restored" it into a ruined POS.

I think compared to the ex-racebike mono shock frame for $445, this relatively complete bike is a good deal. Yes, the seller has a casual relationship with adjectives and modifications of questionable taste have been perpetrated, but I don't see anything that can't be undone. With a title? I'd hand over the Benjamins and roll it into my truck if I weren't 2,132 miles away (yes, I Googled it).

 Nothing like butchering something and calling partially it restored.

I just did a bit of research and found that this collectors edition may contain the elusive rare 6 speed tranny!  Can't wait to see what this sells for, may break a new record :haw:
