A little jewel that I picked up

Post by rd400racer »

You never know what you'll find on Craigslist. A 1987 FZR750RT ; 100% stock in original condition. I'm not going to tell you what I paid for it because you would all hate me.

I hate you just for having the bike, so fessin' up to what you paid for it isn't going to matter much :poke

Awesome find man. Big congrats! :cheers

We've all heard the story of the guy who runs out of gas in the country, and the little old lady whose house he walks to tells him she has some gas in the barn. Out in the barn he finds a car covered with dust. Under the dust is a 1964 427 AC Cobra. She tells him that her son that passed away had bought the car many years ago....she would sell it to him for $1000 unless that was too much. This bike is my barn find.

No, actually it was in Cincy. And the guy told me he has been trying to sell it for a year. Why no one else bought it is beyond me.

I didn't see the FZR400, but I did see a Honda RVF400 and an 81 GPZ550 (one of my favorite old classic bikes). You California guys get all the good stuff!

Not at all - what a beautiful original example, well done.

Cheers

P.S. Ok, I'd probably hate you just a little bit...
