• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      report.gif
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.
  • There has been a recent cluster of spammers accessing BARFer accounts and posting spam. To safeguard your account, please consider changing your password. It would be even better to take the additional step of enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your BARF account. Read more here.

~SRX 600 Racer "one off" opportunity

any and all
I have attached some pics of our exotic race SRX. We are selling it and want to see what kind of response we get locally before we post it on fleabay or others.

The bike is set up right now very simply as a road race bike even though the only other one of it's kind is being raced on flat tracks of Texas. There is an extra CDI box, and extra cylinder and some miscellanies engine parts. The engine is new, and is tricked out with all the best stuff. In the top end, massive piston, titanium valve caps and keepers and a big cam...everything is new. The base of the cylinder has been strengthened using a solid beautifully machined aluminum plate; the head and cylinder bolts run from the top to the base of the cylinder and into the plate. The engine oil is store in the frame. The bike will come with delta rollers for starting as there is no way it will start by a simple bump start with the compression this motor has.

The head has been heavily re-worked and the intakes repositioned into the downdraft position utilizing the FZ 1000 CV carbs. On the bottom end there is a light weight Falicon rod and the crank balanced by Falicon. Oil galley's have been relieved where possible. The bike has run once but never ridden, we know it runs and is very responsive the way it's set up. Not shown in the pictures is a lightweight custom Rotax exhaust.

The custom chrome moly frame is based on a mid 90's TZ 250 and built by reknown builder Ray Baker of Washington state. The frame and overbuilt swing arm are very nice and together weigh a mere 27 pounds. Other parts include a TZ 250 rear wheel, New 1997 TZ bodywork, NSR 400 aluminum custom fabricated gas tank, and ZX7 front end, Ohlins steering dampener, Penski shock, English electronic tach, very nice...there is probably a few other items I forgot to add to this post; don't be afraid to ask questions. It would take very little effort to finish this bike and start competing.

We have some of the receipts on parts and labor including the Falicon work etc. We are asking $5000 or best offer. The bike resides in Washington but can be brought down.

Pics below........This bike started out as dream; a dream nearly fulfilled.

Thanks, Russ Rmeags@aol.com

Let me know what you guys think...

Hey Crusader, any idea of the total weight, and estimated power output?
There's not much of a market for singles racers in the bay area. Too Bad, try also posting on the WSMC forum.
 
We have not had the bike on the scale or on a dyno but it should weigh around the 265lbs range with about 65-70hp+.

Thanks for the visit.
 
I'm interested.
At the same time nervous...

What can you tell me about who designed the rear linkage-
Is that a rising rate or falling rate?
What was the thinking around where the swing arm angle would ultimately be?
Rake and trail numbers?
Wheel base?

What is the internal gearing? Stock?

I have more questions but those should do for tonight.

I will see if we can get some of those numbers from the gentleman that built the chassis and motor (Ray Baker of Seattle Wa). ....the chassis (and swingarm) is based on a mid 90's TZ250 (which is where you should be able to get some of your numbers from). This bike should be right there in the size of 450 single guys and right there with weight, minus the $10K competitive price tag of the new class out there running the 450 motors and dirt bike chassis. And they say it would be $20K to land a bike good enough for a magazine feature. See the article below.

For a guy wanting to race and have fun against the singles out there...take the Exotic SRX and have fun and be damn competitive...not too mention have one of the coolest bikes in the paddock.

The article below says that their bike will pull 110 mph on the top, My brother was clocked 137 mph with his race SRX in a stock chassis and wheels at Pacific Raceways in Seattle! This Exotic SRX should be equally as fast as the Spondon I rode in 2001, a bike that saw several wins and championships.

Since last time when the saliva all but disappeared, this bike appears to have resurfaced on the market. Here is the CL ad:


Yamaha SRX Road Racer - $4500 (Snohomish Co.)
Very Trick Lightweight Yamaha motor based road racer. It has been an ongoing project for a number of years, it has been started 3 times and never seen the track. There is too much to list but I will give you the meat of what this bike is about.
[...]

Please someone buy this bike so that I won't go into debt to get it for myself.
 
This bike is in Lynwood Washington at my brother's house..I am in the Bay Area. The right rider could easily win the Formula Singles championship on this bike..that was my dream.

It's a beauty!

Russ
 
Fackin gorgeous, but I'm not the right rider nor the right wallet for this exotic piece of toy.

I'd love to know more about the engine modifications, since I have two SRXen sitting in my garage...
