• 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

Time to sell the Tuono. I love this bike and hate to let it go but I know there will be another in my future. Not interested in trades.

2004 Tuono, 27K miles.

The bullet proof Rotax engine. Torque for days, this bike loves to run.
Full Arrow exhaust + replacement e-prom. There are actually two, I have the Arrow eprom as well as a custom programmed one that is currently installed on the bike. The custom one has switchable mapping. Stock pipe included.
FAMSA stackable tank bags. Lots of room.
Throttlemeister bar ends. Actually switched so the throttle on this beast does not get stuck open.
Pazzo shorty levers. Stock levers included.
Gilles Tooling adjustable rearsets. Stock rearsets included.
Touring style windscreen - stock screen also included.
Dunlop Q2's have reasonable life left, also a set of Sportmax Roadsmart take offs.
25K maintenance done, valves all within spec.
Oil changed at regular intervals.
Chain and sprockets have 7K miles on them.
Rear stand included.
Battery Tender included - dongle is installed under rear seat and can snake out under the tail section.

There's really nothing wrong with this bike. It has been well taken care of. A couple scratches, but nothing you wouldn't expect on a 9 year old bike with 4 owners.

$4500, OBO.

You mean in the pic? No, I don't. Just the stock seat and I throw a tail bag on for longer trips. I was actually looking at mounting a monkey plate on there for a Givi case. :thumbup
 
This thing is sweet, if I didn't just buy a truck and another bike I would be seriously looking into this as my next hooligan machine.

Hey Mike :wave At last year's Spring Rally, Ross, the owner you bought it from pulled up next to me and said "hey, I think that is my old bike!" No body wants to get rid of it and usually wishes they still had it. Ross and I did an Ebbetts Monitor Sonora pass run last October. The Tuono is such a great machine for ripping through the Sierras.

Yep, that's completely true. Ross was going to buy it back from me, and if I had the cash right now I'd probably be buying it back from you :laughing

Pretty much the first person that comes to look at and test ride the bike will buy it.
 
Damn if this was up a week or 2 I would be the new owner but I picked up an SV to race :rant
 
Sunday morning :bump

You will need muscle relaxants to get the goofy grin off your face after riding this beautiful machine. Make an offer....
 
The pics do no justice to your bike, that thing is sooooo gorgeous in person.

The color rocks too. Poppy Red for safety!

:wave Nicki! Yes, safety red. Or Easter Egg red. The bike came stock with black wheels (I do have a freshly powdercoated black rear that I would be willing to throw in too). The red were mounted by one of the previous owners. The whole package is quite teh sexeh....

Good Friday :bump. Make an offer, I need to sell this bike....

Nicki I can see you rocking this beast, you should buy it! Then, because I'm such a nice person, I'd give your Hornet a new home :p :laughing :wave
 
:bump for 1 sexy bike. If anyone wants a first genSV turn key race bike I would sell mine and Snatch this sexy beast up in a heart beat...
 
One of the best kept secrets in motorcycling. I love my '05 Tuono. I ride it every day and have put on 9K miles since I bought last July. Now at 24K miles and nothing but great things to say about the bike. Low maintenance. Awesome V-Twin torque, light and flickable. All day long comfort. Damn near the perfect motorcycle. :ride

All of this is true, which is why I hate to part with it now. What you save in maintenance costs you will use up in tires. :burnout

I am 6' 2" and can spend all day in this saddle. A Sonora+Ebbetts+Monitor lap? No problem. A Hwy 36 weekend or BARF Rally? The perfect bike.
