Comment: Entry level sport towing. Red & black. Good cond. 51,000 km. Cert.
$2,695. NCK Cycle, (519)268-2523 - Dorchester. (CLKRJP)


The ad is for a:
Year - 1999
Make - SUZUKI
Model - KATANA

It's not a local bike... but other than the KMS being high, it's a pretty
good deal!

That's not a KATANA, Dave, it's a KATONA...maybe that's why the price is so
low?? It could be one of those flea market knock-offs!

Here's my absolute favorite Auto Trader ad of all time, as it was printed.
The errors are their's, not mine! The bike was located in Gatineau, so I
think something was lost in traslation, but I find it hilarious.

1995 VULCAN 800 CUSTOM HARLEY DAVIDSON
One of a kind! Must be seen! $4000 extra. Awesome, complete cust. paint (7
cooler hairbrush), cobra 50/50 pipes, Cobra "fatty" handlebars solo seat or
pass. seat w/back dress, crack bar, windshield foot peg, 2 sides lights in
chrome bar, bike cover, back and front bags, 2 helmets, 21" front wheel,
many chrome like new, $6700 neg.

I think the concept of 'sport towing' is kind of neat too.

Did you guys notice in the description.... the bike is a sport "towing"....
Wonder is you have to ride it on the back of a flat bed truck ????

It is not even a 1999. Body change in 1998 or something like that.

I couldn't even begin to write an ad in French, so I wasn't poking fun at
the person,(as shown by the fact that I didn't print their personal info),
but I find the ad funny. I also think the Auto Trader could help out a
little...

Sorry if I offended anyone, that wasn't my intention!
