    As more time goes by the RJ gets prettier.
    Let's see what it fetches.

    I have seen one in a motorcycle salvage place it looks dirty and needs the usual clean and sync of carbs etc. It ran when parked job he wants $600 for it once im done with the 750 i may see about it.

    Ooooh. Pretty darned nice. I wonder if eBay takes credit cards. I don’t think I can/should afford this one.

    Rebuilt the carbs (3 times until they were PERFECT!)..........Tuned perfectly by Armand; a master mechanic
    three times, master mechanic.....?
    Our shop would charge over $4,000 for the work and parts invested in this bike
    well your a rip

    The oil cooler was added by Armand who purchased it NOS new, it looks and is factory correct.

    well then it's not.... A Classic & Original 100% Stock Survivor ... is it
    SOLD WITH A PREVIOUS REGISTRATION AND A NOTARIZED BILL OF SALE

    just get me a dam title
    A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO FUND THE NEW ENGLAND MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM
    when i sell a bike some of the money goes to my motorcycle museum too :)

    those were my thoughts also, master mechanics don't need 3 attempts to fix carbs LOL.

    Yup, carbs jumped off the page... and no title.

    Still, looks nice... $2K max?
    If you look close the headers are pitting, although they look good....

    Now that IS museum quality, the mileage (86) and the price proves it. $13,200 with multiple bidders for an 1981 CBX, that would be top dollar for one of those. I think its blasphemous not riding that all these years. It definitely needs to have its legs stretched and the cob webs blown out. I volunteer...

    Exactly what I thought as well. Taking three times, just means you did it wrong two times before.

    Heck, my first go around with carbs it only took me two times... and believe me, I'm NO master mechanic!

    Dave, how many times does it take you?

    Also, I'm curious if one of those lucky anonymous bidders is one of us here on the forum... hmmm....

    Don't ruin it for me. I was feeling better about how many times I've had to remove mine.

    The whole "NO TITLE" thing bothers me. Could anyone with CT/NY DMV experience speak to this?

    Can someone walk into a NYS DMV with a "A CT DMV Q1 SUPPLEMENTAL ASSIGNMENT OF OWNERSHIP/BILL OF SALE" as the listing states... And register it?

    Says it has a registration and notarized bill of sale. Register it in CT by jumping through their hoops..... then once it's registered in your name, then go to nyDMV after a year
