Too expensive for me.

Quote from listing:  Service Honda builds these bikes and sells them for $10,000

Service Honda charges big dollars because the do quality work and extensive R & D.  That bike looks like a steel frame.  Service Honda builds Alum. frame bikes.  I like Service Honda.  They sell me all my Honda parts,  shipped to my door cheaper than either of the 2 Honda shops that are 10 miles from my house.

Watch out for anyone that does Key Word Spamming like that guy.

I was going to say, Y put the 500 motor in a steel frame?  Aluminum is the way to go!

I'm with you Danger. When I'm rich and shameless, there will be a Service Honda KX 500AF in my garage. :mrgreen:

Of course I myself wouldn't buy a complete bike sight unseen or without hearing it run but it doesnt seem too outrageous to me.  Any of us mechanically inclined people would be able to spot a hack welding or fabrication job, right? Seems he was just compairing his KX500 swap into a newer model chasis with a well known builder of KX500 swap into newer chasis bikes. He is asking less than HALF of what Service Honda asks for their bikes. The steel/aluminum comparison seems irrelevant.  For a quality built bike with more modern ergonomics and suspension I would gladly pay $5700 less than a somewhat similar bike just because of an aluminum frame. Not saying I would pay the full asking price, but if I were in the market I would at least check the bike out before I flamed the guy.
