• 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** 2007 MV Agusta F4 1000R 1+1 (Trade for BMW Adventure)

BIKE SOLD.

Thanks for the interest. Sold for asking, if anyone was interested and is searching this forum in the future.

I'm considering selling my 2007 MV Agusta F4 1000R. This is, without question, THE Italian Superbike. Ever since a racing incident on a different bike it just hurts my back too much to ride.

This is the higher spec version, but not the all carbon version. My understanding is that these were the last F4's built by hand. This bike held the fastest production motorcycle award for 1000cc bikes for quite a few years. Very impressive machine.

It has the rare white/black/red color scheme. This scheme isn't even on the MV Website. Rizoma rear sets and upgraded mid-pipe. All else is stock.

It has around 5800 miles on the odometer. Most importantly, I have just had the first major service done and had the valves done, and also changed out the cam chain tensioner. It was around $1,350 for the major service alone (not including $450 upgrading the tensioner). Don't be fooled by bikes with 5,xxx miles on them that haven't had the service done - it's a pretty big expense.

Bike is perfect, needs nothing. Never down and never on track. Clean CA Title. This is one of those rare collector bikes that can also be ridden and enjoyed if you are so inclined (I was!)

Price is LOWERED TO $11,500.

I will also trade for a BMW F800GS (new style) or a BMW 1200GS or Adventure. Actually would prefer trade to sale. I have a track bike to go fast on, and am looking for something I could use up in the sierras a little better riding 2-up with the girlfriend. I won't consider any other trades.

Man I'll miss this gorgeous bike if it sells!

Whoa there. I i'll go ahead and edit what I wrote above, since you may be technically right about my pricing guide.

I will also retract my interest in this bike.

Good luck!:thumbup
 
He's not sensitive--he's quite correct about your post being in violation of Classifieds rules. And you know it. Please refrain from this kind of nonsense in the future. The mods can read edited posts and are not inclined to give you leniency based on your history in here. Comments sent my way should be done so via PM. Thank you.

Sorry for the hiccup there, OP. Good luck with the sale. :thumbup

Back problems & wanting a better 2-up bike were reasons listed.
 
I broke my back racing last year and it's a little uncomfortable for me to ride two-up with my girlfriend up in the Sierras on (we just moved from SF), which have less than perfect pavement. I think for my current needs an adventure bike would better suit my needs.

Plus, it's insanely fast, and I tend to get myself in ummm...not safe for public roads behavior on it. :) I've always wanted to flog it on the track, where it can really stretch its legs, but it's just too pretty to take a chance on crashing. They don't even make these by hand anymore. :(

In short, my needs are changing for a street bike and this really should go to someone who would use it/appreciate it more. :)
 
MV

I totally understand, i crashed at Sears 3 years ago and after that i bought a KTM adv 950S.

I love the bike, its like a Ducati dirt bike... :rofl

I had the GS adv. also, amazing bike on the road, and the ABS is simply astonishing!
(07 and up).
But very heavy for dirt riding thats why i got the KTM.

Anyhow, i have had an MV in the past also, and simply there are NO bikes i know of that compares in terms of beauty and design elegance period!

Not to mention every minute is sheer joy..
 
I would consider a KTM as trade (not that you are offering), but man it would have to be reallllllly swanky and realllllly new with low miles to consider. I'd love the off-road manners of it, but I've already got the RXV as an (uncomfortable) dual sport (that'll rip your arms off).

It is seriously prettier the more parts you take off it. It's amazing the amount of design and engineering that goes into these things.
 
havent thought of selling the KTM, but its not getting used like it used to any more...:(
I did ride an Aprilia once, one crazy bike! real beast.

KTM Its not new at all though, you'd need a 990R for that matter.
But i have put a lot of money into mine (2 sets wheels, Woody 17/19 + stock 18/21), Billet triples + scott damper, new tanks, Akrapovic pipes, TT skid plate, engine guards, bags, GPS, Renazco seat +++ etc...etc...
and its 100 lbs lighter than GSA (950 is 460 lbs vs. GSA. is 560+)

If you do more street riding, then i'd say go with GS.
Way more comfy...

Just had a blast riding this piece of art up and down Wentworth Springs Rd. When you aren't riding 2-up this bike sure is fun! :)
 
Bump for a beatuiful work of art - saw it yesterday and it is awesome!
 
This post will self-destruct if the deal on that Triumph falls through.

Still available. Adding a Triumph 800XC as a potential trade. Those look like neat, smaller Adv. bikes.
