Cheapest bike ever..

I am almost positive that I've just purchased the cheapest motorcycle ever. The bike is a 2009 jinlun jl250-p. it's missing the carbs, bodywork and gas tank. But all in all, not a bad purchase for the smooth price of $75. That's right, $75. No I did not forget a zero or two. I looked on eBay and a carb set is $119 shipped and I've got a spare gas tank sitting around. I think I'm gonna fix it up to ride around until inevitably the cheap Chinese pot metal engine and suspension parts give out. At least if something happens, the bike only does 55 or 60

You do understand new they are only 1500-2000. I see a lot of them in the 100-200 price range.

Alright, I've only got a couple. Don't mind my ninjette in the background. I decided I like the tail on the new bike so much that I'm swapping them. I'll post another thread when I get done. It's got Kenda cruisers that look to be nearly brand new. I'm going to hijack some farkles off of it (braided brake lines, slipons, bar ends and whatnot) and probably part it out on eBay. Who knows though, The $120 to get it running isn't too bad..
