    I think they only want 800 bucks for a pair of bent forks, so the bargains continue.

    Incredible aside - someone just picked up a rear capo wheel from the breakers in LA for 100 bucks. Much more reasonable.

    They sure know how to take the piss, they had some red bodywork on a while back and the price was their telephone number with a $ sign in front of it.
    Hmm? indeed

    That's Sun Coast Cycle Center in Florida. I think they used to be an April dealer. When they first started off loading inventory, there were some real bargains to be had. I almost bought a brand new ECU as a spare for $350, but I let another forum member have it, because his was actually tits up at the time. But in the past year, everything they put on eBay is so ridiculously priced, broken, scratched, etc., I'm amazed they sell any of it.

    Yep, people do take the pee! I saw this today:

    I reckon there must be over £1000 of parts needed to repair it, and you´d still be left with a "Cat C" bike. They´re not interested in breaking it either - I asked.
    How much is the fish?

    ....£1000 of parts needed to repair it, and thats being optimistic, they would probably get more if they broke it for spares...

    and they're gioing to have them for a long time .... because their prices are so darn stupid!

    The appropriate number of cylinders for any motorcycle is two.
