Admit it, you bring this to us to support your decision....because it is a good one.

Unfortunately it’s just wishful thinking. This thing’s an hour from me and I have no way to transport it.

You can rent a van or pickup for not a whole lot of money.

No buddy with a truck? Shame.

You could rent a u-haul pickup or even a u-haul motorcycle trailer. Miss Mercedes does that for her inop bikes and tows them with a smart so I think you can do it.

Also I’d probably kill myself on this thing as I’ve only ever ridden 150cc or less.

Look, are you trying to have us enable your bad decisions or not?

Well $600 is cheap, and you can definitely rent something to go get it for not too much. And spring is more or less here, so you’d be able to ride it if you can get it going. And maybe you wouldn’t die (I would totally die, I crash my bicycle enough to be confident that motorcycles are a terrible idea).

The Home Depot truck is only $20 for the first 75 minutes... A lot of stores now have Transit vans which would be an even better choice as it would be easier to load/unload. I also think they’ve just given in and let you rent them for whatever now.

I briefly worked in a Home Depot between the Navy and college , at the time the trucks were supposed to be for bringing home materials if they wouldn’t fit in your car, but I’d estimate almost 100% of our rentals were people who would come in and buy 1 2x4 for $2 and go “Oh, it doesn’t fit in my Civic” and then rent the truck so they could go move across town, or pickup their new furniture, or transport a motorcycle, or whatever.

Nobody here is going to stop you, go  buy it. Carb cleans are simple and cheap, make it happen!

This is why I haven’t posted anything about a motorcycle deal that has been offered to me, even though it would entertain people here . . . because I don’t know yet if I want to go down that rabbit hole. And Oppo is for enabling.

By the way, you should totally bu y that bike.

Get something like a Virago 700 that’s been cleaned up.  Or at least start on a two cylinder around that power.  Once you have all the riding gear and some experience start looking seriously at bikes.

That price, that description. It’s seen some shit and by that I do not mean steady main tenance or an easy life.
