Special Post - Craigslist Vintage Motorcycle Searching Simplified!

Special entry! I’ve said before that the more flexible a person can be, the better the chance for a good outcome. For me, I didn’t really care if I bought a Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki; only that I wanted the vintage vibe along with the 70’s build quality and value that the Japanese makes had going on. 

Witht that in mind, you could search each model year by year in Craigslist – but it gets old pretty fast. So let me give you an example of putting your flexibility to work for you with the Craigslist search tool.
 
Let’s say that you have your heart set on either an old Kawasaki or Yamaha. And you’re okay with something from say…1972 through 1976. Here’s what you would type into the Craigslist or SearchTempest search to select either make in any of those years.

Kawasaki|Yamaha 1972|1973|1974|1975|1976
 

 

 
That character separating the models and years is sometimes called the “pipe”. Mine is located at the upper case on the “\”. NO SPACES between your search term! Just the pipe!
