• 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.

The color scheme is black and white (original). The bike comes with coffers and a radio box on the back, which is very convenient for carrying cargo (change of clothes, shoes, etc).

Lowered the asking price to 2900, will consider trades for sport-touring bike (Honda ST, BMW RT, etc.)

When I was looking for a comfy bike to commute to work and back on during winter/rainy times... the police KZ1000's were on top of my list, but I couldn't find a clean example at a decent price. This is priced very nicely for a 2002, depending on the general condition of it and if it is in 'very good' shape as suggested by OP. :thumbup
 
Still for sale, now with brand new chain and sprockets (quality stuff, not cheap). Mechanical and cosmetic condition are very good.
 
this is THE bike for commuters......:):laughing:laughing
 
^^^ +1

I loved riding those things at the Sheriff's training course. Lemme save up some $$$!!
 
my brother has one of these parked in my driveway right now...... it's a 92 though...... runs like a top for the most part....... just watch out for the exhaust manifold studs coming loose from the head..... had 3 so far do that.... other than that..... just put a new tire, chain and ordered the rear sprocket for it yesterday...... it's a decent bike
 
I love it! :thumbup

I would totally rock this bad boy:laughing

Does it have a siren or do I have to make woo woo noises myself? :teeth Free bump for a cool bike.

LOL

No siren. If it had it, the siren would have to be disconnected anyway, unless you want a fat ticket for Impersonating an Officer. I see no need for the siren, because cagers start paying attention all of a sudden when I hit the road on my KZP. Prior to getting the KZP I have never seen drivers being so careful, cautious and paying such close attention to motorcycles ;) May be it has something to do with my white helmet and black leathers ...
 
Argh, I want this bike. It would be perfect for my 2,000-mile-per-month commuting habit. But I just don't have the cash spare right now.

( And realistically, I suspect it's way too much bike for someone like me with only 4,000 miles under my belt. Flat-footing it wouldn't be a problem at 6'2", but still, sanity prevails. :shame :rolleyes )

Oh well. Bumpity-bump, I guess. Hope it goes to an excellent home. :thumbup
 
"Too much bike" depends on what kind of a rider you are and your ability to exercise self-control. :laughing

In all seriousness, I rode one of these for my motor courses at ACSO Academy and while they're not the most powerful 1000's on the market, they're no dog either. That being said, I found that it's pretty easy bike to control as far as throttle goes. Assuming you're exercising that self-control, that is. :thumbup
 
Gawd I'd like that; but price is a bit high for me. I even have some parts left over from my 81' KZ1000J bike. (valve guide seals, cam end cover gaskets.)

My old KZ1000J was my "best" bike of all time IMHO. (First really good framed KZ1000- non-wobbler.) Got 2nd place in my very first AFM race on it after starting dead last (was my first time in that class-"Open Production.")

Many many fond memories of that bike...:cool:thumbup

The bike weights 590 lbs and has 88 horsepower. It is geared for quick acceleration from the stop, but the top speed is below 120 mph. I never ride my bikes on the street above 80 anyway, so this is not a limiting factor for me. It is perfect for commuting - lots of storage (2 firm bags and a radio box) for clothes, notebook, etc. Cagers get out of the carpool lane in a hurry when they see this bike. Of all the bikes that I have ever owned, this is by far the one that gets noticed the most by the cagers.
