Minus 20 c and snowy up here in Ontario. Sigh. I could go for a Vegas winter right now. I was in Florida for Xmas a few years back, everyone was in winter coats, I went swimming!

I ride in the winter ONLY if:
1.The roads are clean and dry and:
2.the temperature is at or above freezing
Some years I get to ride at least once in every month, but that's pretty rare. Very often the roads are either icy or wet and salty. Salt water will rapidly destroy a motorcycle, or at least corrode the aluminum so badly that it looks like it has sat out in the weather for 30 years.

It finally dropped below 70° yesterday...mostly because the cloud coverage blocked out the sun. I had to dust off my denim jacket.
Oddly enough bikes from the US East/NE coast tend to look the same way without riding them in the winter.

Is that sunroof for a Kawasaki Shadow, Intruder, or V-Star? Some of those Fire & Steel in-house goods tend to be more readily available for certain models.

I'm not sure this seller has any idea what their Rebel is worth, but I've paid $100's less for bikes in much better shape. And the "custom" paint appears to be OEM.

Pearl Heron Blue was a custom paint for 2003 --- the other "custom" choice that year was black.

Yeah, I bet that full service was done by an equally qualified buffoon.
So what is it, a motorcycle or a scooter? Oh, wait...it's a GROM CLONE! That's right folks, a bike that was in production from 1985-2016 is a clone of a bike that just came out in 2016! Yes, Honda waited until the final production year of the bike to GO BACK IN TIME and clone the new model that came out at half its size!

Well, either the dealer or I am color blind. Ad says it's red, but looks blue to me. It ticks me off when dealers post their wares in the "by owner" only section.

I am almost tempted to call and find out the year, and go down there to offer half on the premise of they don't even know what they're selling.
Not that I'm interested in a bike with sawzall'd mufflers and a ridiculously tall sissy bar without a pillion.

I don't know much - I just like reliable, comfortable, and something that looks nice. This fits the bill:

Why does it have a dirt bike/off road tire mounted on the front and a regular street/cruiser tire mounted on the back?

Better traction for the front wheel drive feature. :grin2:

because you can't get a 15" knobby tire for the back
Oh well that makes a lot of sense, perhaps the seller (a.k.a. dealer) thinks having two totally different kinds of tires qualifies it as a dual sport!
