Always exercise caution on Craigslist...

Having said that, to answer your question as to why do you keep looking for more bikes?  It is a disease, Motorcyclis-desirus-oncitus.  Sadly, there is no cure, but there is a sometimes horrendously expensive therapy, to keep it under control:  buy more bikes, fix them up, then sell them.  The goal is to keep a fixed pool of money flowing in a cycle, between buying, and selling; good fiscal control can keep this disease from the more serious complications, thereby saving a marriage, while giving full satisfaction to the bike lust.  It takes constant care, and effort, but the disease can be managed successfully.

Side effects of treatment include, but are not limited to:  consumption of all "free time"; work-aholic syndrome; budget-titus; credit-card-drowning-in-debt-itus; an addiction to receiving packages in the mail, resulting in frenzied checking of the mailbox on a daily basis, including Sunday's, in severe cases; lonely-wife-itus; and chronic general fatigue due to loss of sleep.


That is one nice looking bike!  I agree, the price is low, but that does not automatically make it a scam.  If interested, check it out, but proceed carefully.  Let us know how it turns out!  Cheers!
