Default Tired of seeing this on craigslist...

I get on craigslist almost everyday to check out the motorcycle section. I always see the ad of a "show" hayabusa. Why is it that if you chrome every piece of metal, install an extended swing arm, put a rediculous paint job on it, and install LCD screens, it's worth 3 times as much. There is an ad right now for a "show" hayabusa for $25000. Who is gonna buy that!!!!??!?!? It will never be on the street. In fact it's so damn heavy now, no one could every ride it properly!!! Why waste all that money!!?!?!?!


Sorry just had to get that off my chest.... Carry On.

No one will buy it. don't worry he'll try and sell it for 25k for a month.. then a year.. then he'll lower it to 20k then 15 then 10k and he'll sell it for 10

LCD screens? I wonder if you could rig a rear view mirror and have it pass in lieu of real mirrors. But yeah, I see Hayabusas as bikes for magazine/forum/youtube messageboard racers or people who look at name before product. I'd like a Hayabusa... when I'm 40 and consider buying a cruiser.
