• 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.

...not parting it out

It's time for something new for me... This is basically a well-sorted stock trackbike in fair/good running condition. It's been garaged the entire time I've owned it, about four years. I've been religious about oil and coolant changes. Desmoto Sport and Performance Concepts/Patrick Ho have done all the professional work on it. I have service records during the time of my ownership and other relevant paperwork. This bike is registered with a transportation permit but the title is clean and getting it registered shouldn't be an issue if you get the street bits to make it legal. I still have a license plate for it and all the paperwork.

- Deltabox aluminum frame/swingarm
- cooling system has been completely redone and upgraded with a new fan, thermostat and FZR600 radiator. This bike does not overheat.
- new sprockets and chain (2009)
- new Bridgestone 016's tires (one trackday on them)
- rear wheel conversion (17" rear now) so you can run good rubber. I use 110 front and 160 rear.
- replaced rear brake rotor and pads (2006)
- replaced front stock non-adjustable forks, seals, and oil (2007) (fork oil changed 2009)
- replaced front R6 brake rotors, calipers and master cyclinder (2007)
- replaced brake pads (2007)
- carbs have been cleaned (2007) and synched (2009)
- hardened case covers
- new battery (2009)
- shop manual
- adjustable Double-Click Fox rear shock
- Daytona steering damper
- Woodcraft rearsets
- Sharskinz race plastics
- Stompgrip tank pads (not in photo)
- Safety wiring on most parts...
- Tail piece signed by Jorge Lorenzo in Summer 2009!!!
- extra parts: I have two top ends for this bike, extra track and some street plastics, a headlight, gauges and turn signals along with numerous other track and street goodies.

:love

Please have this still in a couple of months. :)

Hopefully won't have it in a couple of months, but we'll see what pans out. These bikes have suddenly gotten a lot more popular as restoration projects and trackbikes.
 
This bike needs nothing to go out and have a fantastic trackbike. Wow.

Which 17" rear wheel swap is that? It looks like it matches the front pretty well.

TZ rear wheel swap. It *might* be a TZR, but I think those are super-rare.

If you were to race this... what class would it race in?

Super-dino, 650 Production (maybe?), 450 Superbike, it used to race 400 Production until the class was eliminated with the AFM a year ago.
 
Flying Pig, I was going to PM you with this but in case anyone else wants to know...

The bike has been track-only for quite some time and would make a questionable choice for a first street bike given its age and the amount of effort one has to go through to get it street legal. To be honest, Enchanter's bike is only $500 more and I believe it's turn-key condition for street riding. My bike is probably best suited for the track and not as an everyday commuter. The tuning has been set up for aggressive track riding and it won't run well just cruising around town. I make a crappy salesperson. :|

if it was legal for 450 prod, then it should still be legal for 650 P.
also legal for F40 light wieght (if your 40 or older) and Formula 4.

I'll take your word for it. thanks! (This is all your fault btw. My husband is laughing and rubbing his hands together... he loves looking for new bikes for me almost as much as he does himself. Of course they're never new. It's always some sort of project. :x

hah! now now! :rofl
He (Evan?--sorry, I'm bad with names) had the exact same thoughts as you when he rode my bike. Exact same words even!
Project bikes are fun! I have a twisted addiction to them myself :rolleyes:nerd:party
 
Nice bike! saw it on t-hill on sunday running b+. looks fun to ride!

The fewer the cc's the more stupid you can be. :thumbup

Yep, Evan. And I don't want a project bike, but I always seem to end up with them. It's all his fault. I'm sure of it. :x

I saw you and your bike at T-hill this weekend, it looks great with the new paint and spotted stomp grip pads (not in picture). Good Luck with sale.

Thanks! Yes, I should note the stomp grips. Just put them on a couple of months ago. They take a little while longer to install when you do it according to the directions! I thought you could just peel 'em off and slap 'em on. I had to get out the hairdryer and alcohol and all sorts of stuff. :laughing
 
For those that don't know, that TZ wheel swap is about $350. The TZ rear wheel is a direct bolt on, but they're super hard to find and when you can find them they go for big money.

The Fox shock is also (along with the Ohlins) pretty much "the" way to go for FZR shocks. They're not made anymore - I don't think Fox manufactures moto shocks at all, but you can still send them in to get rebuilt and serviced.

The case covers, upgraded cooling, and R6 brakes make this bike even better. 2K is dirt cheap for what you're getting here.

Oh, and for those who don't think 400cc's is enough, you can bolt in a FZR600 or YZF600R motor over a weekend if you're taking your time.

Last time I busted out with the hairdryer and alcohol, it wasn't for stomp grips... I think I'm doing it wrong.

Ja, that Fox Shock alone is making me shake my fist in irritation that she preempted attempts to part out good bits. :( So whoever gets the bike gets all the good bits.
