    808 ALLDAY!!
    id prefer a 1980's-90's xr/xt dual sport, or a chitty twin cyl. kawai ex or similar...Just anything to satisfy my winter garage time hoonigan building/bobber chop cycle project.....

    Budget is $1,000 or cheaper depending on the bike....must have a good title so i can ride it to work when the project is done spring time.

    something like this.......

    Please post up pics if you have something and maybe we can make a deal!!

    Thanks!

    Buddy of mine has a 93(?) Yamaha FZR600 in his garage that he'd let go pretty cheap ($500 probably). He says it leaks a decent amount of oil and that's why he parked it.

    LMK if you're interested, I'll bug him for some pics and specs.

    Try bay area riders forum (barf). Constant flow of bikes for sale. Although $1k is pretty low.

    Try looking further from the Bay Area too so you won’t have to pay the Bay Area premium.

    Ah, good idea looking local first.

    What made me think of it is a friend picked up a 2016 Husquvarna 300
    2-stroke for a great deal but he drove to Pheonix to get it.
