2 custom motorcycles for sale - Toronto Subaru Club

Hey guys, trying to scale back on some of my projects, so I've decided to sell my two motorcycles. Here's the info:

1. 2009 Suzuki Boulevard S40 - I have modified it to a bobber set up, which includes a custom solo seat, mini bullet-style rear signals, header-wrapped exhaust and a side-mounted old skool brake light/plate holder. However, my primary goal through this modification was to keep everything so that it could easily be put back to stock. That means that the frame has not been modified in any way. The solo seat and lights have been mounted to a bracket I made that also tucks all the wiring up under the seat. So if the bobber thing isn't your style, I have all the original parts so it can go back to original.

The exhaust has been header wrapped, and uses an aftermarket slip-on muffler. It is much louder than the original muffler, which I also have, and it is in perfect condition. I am also throwing in a black 6" mini ape hanger handlebar...just never got around to installing it, but will have no use for it when the bike sells.

This is a really cool bike...it's a 650cc single (which is pretty unique). The bike has a fantastic riding stance. It comes from the factory with forward controls and handlebar risers, and with this low solo seat, it has the perfect bobber feel! The one thing I would caution you about is this bike is probably a bit small for anyone over 6'. I'm 5'8", and it's very well proportioned to my size, but anyone over 6' may feel a little cramped on it. Asking $4000 obo

2. 1980 Honda CB650 Custom rat/brat/bobber (whatever you wanna call it) - It started life as a stock '80 CB650 Custom, but I stripped it all down to the last bolt. I had the frame, tank, swing arm, headlight, 10" ape hanger bars, etc sandblasted down to bare steel, then clear powdercoated (or painted, in the case of the tank and headlight housing). So everything looks like bare metal, but is protected from rust and corrosion. I also chopped the rear section of the frame that would normally support a passenger seat, and welded in a solo seat bracket.

Since getting the bike, I have:
- header-wrapped the exhaust
- replaced the front brake caliper and rebuilt it with new lube, gaskets & pads
- replaced both tires
- changed the oil, brake fluid, spark plugs
- installed mini bullet-style signals, new brake light (and will also include a side-mount brake like/plate holder so you can choose which to run)
- had the carbs rebuilt and jetted to support small cone air filters
- performed a compression and leak-down (which came back as good as new)
- installed new chain
- installed a forward control kit

...I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten by now. I had the bike running last summer, but haven't really worked on it this summer.

As for what it needs (and there's not much)...the carbs just have to be fine-tuned, and the electrical (signals and brake light) need to be finished off. The wiring harness is complete, and pretty well everything is labelled, but I just don't have the time to finish it off. If I did, I'd be riding it instead of selling it!

If you want a REALLY cool bike that will turn some heads without breaking the bank, this is it. Asking $2500 obo
