I'd be interested to know if the "professional" stripped the bike or just sprayed the entire thing Black and the body blue . . . Looks like a 2 hour custom job :roll:

It's a 185cc 4 stroke guys... Does it really matter beyond that? :lol:
I'm sure it performs as well as it looks, in that regard, she's damn near perfect!

I'm amazed what people think their "stuff" is worth. Motorcycles especially. I troll CL locally for bikes and I'm amazed - freaked out really - what people think their "absolute junk" is worth. Somebody will have a rusted, worthless, POS and ask a grand for something because they think it's valuable when it's not. A simple check eBay or other places will give them some idea about a "things" value but apparently nobody seems to do that :roll:

There is nothing wrong with trolling for idiots imo.
for the informed, it's still good entertainment... :thumbup:

That's pretty basic, easy bike modding there. I think I could build one that good. It is very ugly to me.
