"egh... bikes come and go... you'll find another one..."
True enough...

Everything happens fr a reason, so it must not have meant to be. Just means you will probably find a better one.

Yep. This is what I think when I fail to respond to a CL add soon enough. Usually looking at the TP here instead....

Been there, done that! Missed the V-Max I wanted by 5 min one time!! Still looking.

I have been looking for one too. I decided to wait until next year to get one now.

Man, that is a sweet looking bike.

The TDM, aka Tedium and totally true.

But, the best you know is the best you have ridden.

It was a fun, all-around bike. Not claiming its the best I've ridden (I've owned dozens of bikes from all genres), but it filled a niche that's tough to replace.

I've been doing the same thing OP.

Been hankering after a DRZ400SM and I just wait out each bike until it's sold.

Guess you guys were right!

I went to look at a 1976 CB750, fully restored in FoCo once with my roommate. I was interested in it, but at $2300 it was a little high on my budget. Figured if it was really sweet, I'd be able to afford the little bit extra. My roommate was also looking for a CB750. I fell in love with the bike, absolutely beautiful as if it had come off the showroom floor. I called the guy on Monday after I transferred the money, to purchase it and I found out my freaking roommate bought it out from under me the day before!!

I was livid!!! He never treated it well at all, had it beaten up and knocked over on campus (had enemies), then decided to rip it down to the frame, paint everything black and turn it into a cafe racer. Granted, it does look good now its just hard to remember what it used to look like.

Man-Code violation! You just don't do that! What a jerk.
