There's crafty.
There's thrifty.
There's cheap.
And then there's "Repair of broken clutch lever".

Also, he has tried to sell this bike before, but Im pretty sure he was asking more the last time. And he is a bit more forthcoming with the repairs and "ingenuity" in this listing.

 

I agree that he’s forthcoming… more than others at least.

so youre not a man into rescuing rare historic sportbikes after all ? youre going thru and rebuilding the engine would make a top-viewed thread here i think

 

He may have more than he needs Squirrel … but then … you can never have too many!

sm... you know I am the man. Do you realize how many fucking bikes I have and am still rescuing? I somehow, someway, maintain a fleet of classic, historic bikes with a shitte tonne of ingenuity, flipping, and hard ass fucking work. I already have THREE VF1000R. I have rebuilt a crashed, totaled 85 and a crashed, totaled 86.

Currently working on TWO VTR250. One a total custom frame-up.

Trying to guilt me is a non-starter.

 

"I have owned it about two years. I got the bike from a guy in Portland Oregon in 2022."
