• 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.

Hello Barfers - I've had this bike for about a year. Semi-tore it apart and cleaned it up. Runs well, has fresh rubber, brake pads, etc. Needs a few things still, but is a turn key bike right now and i still ride it weekly. Cali titled before I registered in Nevada (current NV registration/title), so in the CA dmv computers i think. Thinning the herd - and although this one is seriously fun to ride, she gets left home often. $3400 obo. Possible trade for the right sport touring beast.

Must not go look at this, especially with cash in hand :teeth

Looks really nice, hard to resist:thumbup
 
This is a steal. If I were in the market for one of these I would be all over it. Looks gorgeous.
 
Alan, it's in Reno.
YOU'RE in Reno.
It's a sign.
GO GET IT!
 
The NC24 was the first streetbike to have a single-sided swingarm! (beat the RC30 by one year).

Nice tidbit. I think this has been my favorite (stock) Honda for sound on intake and exhaust - and the cam whine is a definite bonus! Clocks read about 16K KM's...and I've only put about 800 of those on.

Also have an '04 SP2 clean title setup for the track that will be going...will take pics and post up tomorrow. Can deliver both to cali bay area if need be.

Is the SP2 still street legal?

Clear title but currently without lights (track bodywork). Look really closely in the picture you'll see the Harris high mount and silver/black tail cowling in line just behind the CB-1. Have most of the street bits available for right price. Will start a new thread later today.

Details - odometer shows ~16K KM. No speedo healer - bike reads/rides in KM's. Right now the left fork seal is weaping a bit on long storage cycles (aka if I don't ride it often). I have a new set of seals here. The original tank has some wear and tear that the photo hides quite well - tank is original paint with some dings.

For a collector there would be several details to take care of. My feeling was ride it another 30KM's and then take it apart and make it really clean. Truth is I shouldn't sell this one - but I'm deadset on a more manageable bike fleet - starting with getting rid of what I don't ride and getting my Hawk torn down and finished the way it was supposed to be.

When bike came to me it didn't run - gummed up carbs and several other issues. Bike has stock carb settings and I've read that they were lean from the factory - explains the flat spot around 5-6K RPM. She sings though - really a unique engine sound while on board. The Honda techs did a good job on the exhaust/intake/cam train note. Slick shifting little bugger for sure, and more power than I expected. I frequently find myself speeding as the speedo is in KMH and I forget that 120 KMH isn't 45 mph, hehe. She arrived to me pretty rough and had some beat plastics on it (before pic below). PO was kind enough to provide these as well, and they're not OEM but not bad at all. I never finished mounting the windscreen, and I really dislike the mirrors I put on it (useless but I had them hanging around at the shop). But riding it is different than anything else I've ever ridden. Ultra-flickable and a seriously user-friendly engine and gearbox. Longest ride I've done is ~260 KM's and I enjoyed every second of it. No soreness afterwards but these are smallish bikes - so the very tall be forewarned.

Have some spare bits that came with it too that will go to new owner.

Looks like she's sold ladies...and headed back to Cali. If deal falls through this pm, will post up. If not - I'll ask for thread to be closed.

Had a fantastic final ride on her this morning. She's a fun one for sure. Not the fastest or best handling I've ever been on - but really a great job by Honda if you ask me.

Thanks Barfers.
