Default eBay ad had me cracking up

For a good laugh, read the discription the owner wrote for this 1990 CBR1000F.

I didn't realise our bikes were so fast... Aparently, they were outlawed in some states... LOL

The answer to the illegal speed is probably in this line, "... new chain and sprockets,(factory is 90 it has a 91 tooth rear)..."

90 to 91 teeth! WOW! I wonder if the sprocket hits the ground when you take it off the exclusive factory built in race stand (center stand)?

90-91 TEETH!

I missed that first time round.

I wonder if the person selling the bike has ever seen it let alone ridden it.

I was once told by someone at a bikemeet that his zxr400 regularly hits a genuine 160mph!!

Stretching the truth is one thing,but stretching it til it snaps is summat else!!

My momma told me to never pay more than $1 per cc for a bike over 10 years old. But with that 91 tooth sprocket ... wowzers!

I`ve tried,but bottled it every time!

I`ve had an indicated 150mph(on a private road orrificer!)then filled my pants!

It`s fast enough for me anyway

It just isn't nice to question another person's, um, ability to think, but the following quote makes me wonder:

"Since november I have spent $1100.00 in parts just keeping it, in great working order..it needed nothing and still needs nothing"

If it didn't need anything, why drop $1100 in parts into it? Maybe there's something he isn't telling along with the stories he is telling.
