• 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.

AND EX500 race bike

AND EX500 race bike *price change*

**EDIT** Let's hear some offers!
Bike went down at last buttonwillow round (low side into 3) and has since been fixed. Gerry Piazza went through the whole bike and straightened everything (should be better than new). Only issue now is that it's not as cosmetically nice as it was in the pics... Tank has dents, tail has scrapes (still fine from far) and the windscreen is no more. So, despite some engine clean up (valve check, cleaning, etc) this week and several hundred dollars to Gerry for the work, I'll be dropping the price to $4600 obo as of now. thanks

And please keep in mind that you could fit any motor smaller than a EX500 into the chassis (for you single freaks).
**************************************************

$4800 obo (which is much cheaper than it would cost you to put an equivalent SV500 together)

Where to start? Probably the most important thing is the bike is for sale, but I won't be done with it till after the October 1st/2nd race at Sears point.

This bike is truly a one of a kind in the AFM, and there’s a racing heritage to accompany it. The bike won an F500 championship in 02, took 2nd and 3rd overall in 01 only because Kevin Smith road out of his mind to take the championship (and Reily missed a round, didn’t he?), and will take a 4th overall with me on it this year. Shawn Reilly and Tom Doresy raced it in a Pro Thunder AMA race at Laguna Seca and neither came in last! The bike’s been on the podium at every track, including the 4-hour race last year at Sears. And, the bike was featured in Road Racing World, ridden by chris and john Ulrich for review. The AND has run 2:03’s at Buttonwillow (my slow novice times on it were 05’s), 2:05’s at Thill which is faster than anyone should ever go on an EX500 engine that’s not a grenade(my slow novice times, which anyone could do is a high 8 in practice), and what equates to high 40’s at Sears (my fastest time is a 51 this year, which you could all do). It’s gone fast with fast guys on it (them), and proved it can go fast (for our class) with not so fast guys on it (me). I’m hoping an AFMer wants to buy it and race it, but I won’t feel bad as long as it goes to a good home.

Frame: AND custom frame and swingarm (yes, that's a custom aluminum swingarm welded by Dennis Etchivery) made by Julian Farnam (only frame in the world outside of julians house). Frame not only is fantastic looking and works INCREDIBELY well, but also has some fairly cool features: You can use rearsets from two different bikes thanks to the three mounting holes. You can change the rear spring rate by simple moving the shock forwards or backwards on the swingarm (three holes, 10% per hole). You can even mount most of the stock EX500 stuff (lights, wiring, license plate, etc)! Front engine mounts are modular, making it that much easier to use a different engine (not an EX). Frame was made to accept 00-03 GSXR front end, etc, etc.
*tabs added (for lower and steering damper) and rear brake hanger modified by Dennis Etchivery (spelling?). Now you can use the GSXR steering damper and an F2/3 rear caliper/mount instead of the brembo stuff Julian used.

Suspension: Stock valved 00-03 GSXR front end (wheel, calipers, forks, triples, master cylinder) w/ 8.5 ohlins springs. Custom made for the AND frame Fox double clicker rear with 700lbs spring (valving seems to work well for the bike and my guess is a rider weight change would only require a different spring).

Wheels: 00-03 gsxr front with stock rotors and 4.5in gsxr rear with machined sprocket carrier and TCM rotor.

Engine and stuff: Muzzy 2-1 (less than 5 months old). Keihin 35mm CR carbs (less than 1 year old) and set up for this engine. Engine was bought with less than 200 miles on it and has been very well maintained (oil changes, valve checks, etc) Top end: BRG smog caps, Spears cams, PM valve springs, EDCO competition valve job and porting, stock valves. Bottom end: Stock except for trimmed down flywheel (no charging, but the starter was retained for ease) and Barnett clutch springs. Bike has been Dyno’ed at 61hp at Scuderia West and Spears.

Misc: Woodcraft clipons, Pro-Tek rearsets, SS lines, Vesrah RJL pads, Sharkskinz bodywork (now it has an airtech lower), AIM tach/lap timer (needs to be repaired as of now, i.e. no tach), Daytona temp, extra AFAM sprockets front and rear, month old from factory OEM radiator (literally brand new from box, not ebay), on and on.

Spares: Numerous, from radiator to rotors, to wiring harness, to rebuild kits, to pads, to rearsets, to cables, to batteries and more.

Please feel free to PM with any questions, but not with low ball offers. There’s some maintenance that hasn’t been done (new clutch hub and maybe head lapped in), and won’t get done by me unless I keep the bike, but everything else is regularly taken care of (rebuilt calipers this season, new wiring harness this season, valves checked this season, new fork oil this season, new clutch plates and springs, etc etc). Bike runs well, if hot sometimes, and has made every race I’ve ever entered. If you want any more pics, feel free to browse gotbluemilk.com and check out the AFM races (my numbers 846), or garyratherphoto.com (again under my number in the AFM section).

thanks

just one more pic to remind you of what this bike is about: corner speed.

Not to metion the fact that you can replace the whole engine for less than 500 bucks, and you'll never have to pit next to a guy with the same bike as you!

Ba-dass!
 
Hey Joe.

What about the last race in October?????
 
bump for a nice bikey

damned loud bikey tho :laughing
 
I hate to low ball you Joe. But all I've got is $5.

Lemme know.
 
5 grand is okay by me Kev.

As for the last race in October, if it's still around, I might be there (I'd like to get out and try WSMC in november), but if it's gone, I'll still be secured a 4th spot overall. At least!
 
Damnit! If I didn't have to get a new bike for my wife......

Oh, the pain.....

That is such an awesome bike.
