• 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.

SOLD!!!! Thank you BARF!

1989 NSR 250 Track Bike. Price is $1,500.00

I got this bike over six years ago with all the intention of making it a track toy or possibly getting it titled. Later that same year my wife got pregnant, we bought a house, and I started a business. Needless to say the bike has sat and not run in the interval. I just pulled the bike out, washed it down, checked the fluids, mixed some fuel and it started right up. Sounds awesome just like I put it away. My energies are focused elsewhere now and it's time to take a loss on it. Price is set at $1,500 because I know I can do better parting it on ebay but would rather see it go in one piece to somebody who will ride it.

The bike belonged to Emil Gallant, AFM #701, who siezed the top end at Buttonwillow in 1999. The bike had just been completely gone through: suspension, bottom end, top end, etc, etc.. Emil bought himself a TZ and sold the bike to Chad Arnold. Chad put the spare cylinders on there with a fresh top end and larked around a bit with "borrowed" plates a few times. Mostly it just sat. Unfortunately he had more time than common sense and is the responsible party for the horrible paint job. My apologies to the motorcycling community in general on his behalf. Chad sold it to me in early 2003 and it's sat ever since.

Bike is more stock streetbike than racebike. Has working head light, tail light, brake light, and all dash components work (tach, speedo, temp, indicators, etc..). As a streetbike it's missing:
-Underseat battery tray (converted to run completely off magneto; lights and all work but dim until you rev it).
-Chain guard.
-Mirrors.
-Turn signals.
-Plate holder.

As a racebike it's missing:
-Nothing. You'll need jets, reeds, all the usual stuff.

Needs TLC. Tons of little ticky tacky junk like hoses, fasteners, needs a thorough cleaning, fluids changed, etc, etc..

Comes with spare cylinders that need replating, spare heads, some gaskets, spare rearsets, footpeg and original manual. I think Emil got this bike directly imported from Japan.

Anyways see pictures. Bike runs and sounds sweet but no test drives as there are no plates. All in working order just needs somebody with more time than I have.

Still here. Still available. Sounds sweeeeeeet! Come on by with 15 Ben Franklins and get a killer deal!
 
Bumpity for a clean running MC18!

It's a streetbike waiting for you to wrestle the DMV for plates!

It's a 2-smoke trackbike that'll spit you off!

It's entry level Formula 2 on a budget!

Best of all: it may be more available than your girlfriend and will stay fixed when you wrench on her! I got married and had a couple kids which is why I'm selling.....
 
How's the CDI?
 
How's the CDI?

Ummm. It's a stock 1989 MC18 CDI. The regular kind, bolted to the left rear of the subframe.......
 
OK, I'm interested.

Please contact me, I can come pu the bike tomorrow if you like.

justinammon@gmail.com

Sent you a PM with my mobile number. Have a potential buyer looking at it today at 4pm. If it doesn't sell then it's still available.
 
SOLD! Nice young man came by and picked it up. Sad to see it go, especially after I fired it up and proceeded to do a burnout with it. BUT in the end it's going to somebody with less obligations and more time that will give it the love it needs, which is what I wanted.

Thanks BARF!
