2003 Ricardo 70cc Scooter $250 - SOLD!

Correction: It is a 2003 model, not a 2004.

This is a reliable and easy to ride daily runner. It is registered until March 2011 and features a Givi top case, under the seat storage, and a decent sized glove box. With a low seat height it is easy to ride plus it costs approximately $3.50 to fill the gas tank. Average fuel economy is 100+ mpg. With gas prices going up, having this scooter will pay itself back in gas alone within three months. Cheaper and faster than Muni and the best medium for small to medium shopping trips and daily commuting.

I am selling the bike for $250 firm.

1985 BMW K100 Project Bike $350 - SOLD!

November 19, 2010

I've owned this bike since 2005. Last year the alternator died, so I purchased a refurbished alternator on eBay, then went on a buying streak to replace some of the other systems on their way out. Then the battery died. To make a long story short I bought another touring bike, so this one needs to go to make space in my garage.

Check out the photos of the bike below and the click on the photos for enlarged views:

It's not the prettiest bike around, but it's far from the ugliest. A few cosmetic issues you should know about: The fairing, where the right indicator light attaches was broken when knocked over; the side panniers are ugly; a few deep paint scratches here and there. The functional issues for which I have purchased replacement parts include: alternator, light switch/horn cluster, clutch lever, and ignition switch. I also purchased a handlebar riser kit for more comfortable touring. It is still in the packaging and is an optional install. Both tires are Dunlop sport-touring and are close to brand new. All the electronics work though the only way to prove it is if you bring along a battery jumper. Performance upgrades to the bike include a Supertrapp muffler and K&N air filter. New forks springs were installed in late 2008h by Die Werkstatt SF along with new rubber boots. All labor was completed by Die Werkstatt SF.

I have the title, last registration, and all service records for the bike.

For me, the registration fees are around $800 due to maxed out parking tickets. Fortunately the ticket fees stay with the original owner so you're only responsible for the 2010 registration plus late fees, or approximately $300. So, for my $350 asking price, a new battery (estimate around $110), the approximate $300 registration fee plus your personal labor you've got yourself a pretty good working and decent looking bike for the money.

1982 Honda Spree $200 - SOLD!

November 17, 2010

I need to clear out space in my friend's garage so the little Honda Spree needs to go. It is in good running condition. The headlight and horn need to be replaced, otherwise the indicators, tail light and brake light all work. The engine runs strong and pulls cleanly up hills as shown in the video.

I never registered the bike. It sat in the garage for two years before I got around to making it run again. I purchased it from a guy who had it sitting in his living room for five years. A check with the DMV showed that it does not exist in their registration database, so the registration fees will be minimal. There is no license plate, but because it is 49cc, it may be possible to register it as a moped.
