As I mentioned above, they have been trying to sell that bike for over 2 years, in fact here is an old thread where it was discussed - http://choppercharles.com/cs/forums/39764/ShowPost.aspx Thread was started exactly 2 years ago today 1983 CX650 Turbo 1982 CX500 Custom Donating Member    Report

I didn't see the turbo parts bike in the boneyard when I was last there, and I noticed they had done a ton of cleaning out and rearranging.  It could very well have been removed, but there was really nothing left of it.  It was essentially a frame with a handful of damaged parts.  Everything salvageable was, of course, salvaged.    1979 CX500 Deluxe 1981 SR185 Exciter    Report

If it was listed at half the price and they were willing to negotiate on that price, then there wouldn't be so much controversy. I'm not sure what it is but that bike looks really demented to me.  Maybe it's the crap 650 wannabe paint job, the flaming gay oversized windshield or a combination of both. Whoever created that would be the same type to rattle can paint a Ferrari and install a big ass bug deflector across the front.   CX500 TURBO CX650 TURBO '04 GSX1300R Hayabusa    Report
