Before you tell me the price is high realize this is Austin Texas. One of the most bike crazy towns in the US and other CB200's are listed in the area for $2500-$2800

Would make a great city bike or beginner bike.

Also great for all sizes. I’m 6,1 and my 5,3 gf rides this bike all the time.

The 41 year old bike while in great condition doesn’t come close to out performing the 1 year old grom.

Yea I don’t think I ever made a post about the CB200. I got it a few months ago because the price was too good to pass up. Fixed the minor bugs and now it’s time to let it go... Can’t hang with the grom in any area of riding except for comfort.

All your pictures are cool but don’t show the condition of the bike. Park your bike somewhere without an interesting background, and take shots of all four sides, and all four diagonals. Then detail shots; the cockpit, close up of both sides mechanicals, and a personal favorite, from above. The bike should fill the frame in every shot. Craigslist picture quality is shit. Lots of pictures helps get people excited, it should feel like you’re taking way too many.

Also, maybe mention any extra parts or paperwork you have (along with pictures of that stuff). Your ad is well written, good work!

Here is the ad I currently have up for my motorcycle as an example of the types of pictures I’m talking about: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/566666…

I guess what tends to happen is I buy these fun toys take photos for instagram and then when I go to sell it all I have is artsy edited photos that aren’t very detailed.. Nice bike btw.

Thanks, I like your bike too, if I was closer I’d be interested. I didn’t have these pics before I posted the ad. I went to my garage and specifically took pictures. It only takes about ten minutes and it really helps sell the bike. Have you gotten any good offers yet?
