• 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.

For future reference...gold calipers = ABS, grey calipers = non-ABS.
 
anyone got $6800 they wanna let me have so that Violet and I can do some more BARF rides 2up ???


ANYONE !??!?!


:teeth
 
Got a bunch of horrible low balls today...am I way out of ballpark on the price? KBB is 6500 so i figure 6800 is fair with how low the miles are.
 
6800 is for sure on the high side, but yea it does have some seriously low miles. the right buyer WILL come along - but its gonna take some time. i'd guess you will finally sell it for $6200ish. i think you'd a bit silly to let it go for less than $5500; and $5000 would be just a steal of a deal. i mean come on, its damn near a new bike!!!! but depends how fast you wanna sell it.... but yea, a bike like this is going to go for a premium - so you really are going to have to wait for the right buyer

KBB with VFRs is just about worthless. Point of reference: In '07, I bought a brand-new, zero-mile '04 model, with full warranty, from a dealer, for $6500; that's $500 *less* then a used '04 with average miles was worth, according to KBB. That was a non-ABS, no hard bags. I'd say ABS+bags should count for maybe a grand in your favor, but you're still talking about a four year old bike with no warranty as opposed to a brand new one... it might be low miles, but it's not new. $6800 is, IMO, unlikely. Near-identical bikes with higher miles can be had in the $4500-5 range; low miles aren't worth *that* much.

I know it's a tough pill to swallow, especially if they bought them new at MSRP. Good luck...
 
They just want to get a decent amount so that she can get into a new bike for summer. Reasonable offers are accepted. If you send me a text saying I have $4500 I'll send you back a nice message.....:twofinger
 
If I had the coin to spare right now, I would pay $6k in a heartbeat. Great bike, man. I'm sure it will sell soon.

:laughing I'm the same way, I hate lowballers. Honestly though, my 2005 Interceptor non-ABS sold last year (under 4,000 miles) and let's just say it's a tough market for those bikes - I don't want to post numbers but I will just say that we weren't able to get six grand for it... :( However, the good part is that you will also be able to buy another bike for relatively little money so in the end it's all a wash.

I feel you bro, but honestly you are asking full retail price and in this economy no one wants to pay full price and certainly not for a private party purchase on BARF or Craigslist. KBB's $6400 is an example of what a dealer would ask for after a full reconditioning of the bike plus buying from a dealer comes with some form of guaranties, be it a 30 day to a 12 month warranty, which can not be expected if bought from CL. Furthermore, from my experience as a VFR owner, a high mileage VFR is as good as a low mileage one if properly maintained.
That said, I would wait a little for the summer to settle in before considering best offers, maybe someone with cash to spare would notice it, but my advice to you is not to hold on to it for too long because generally speaking prices only go down.
I got my 2006 pearl white vfr with 6k mi for $4000 cash 5 months ago.

I hope you can get a good price for it. It's definitely worth it.
Good luck man.:ride
 
If you don't mind doing a bit of extra work to recoup some of the cost, remove the racks and sell them and the bags separately. The bags are worth much more on ebay or VFRD then they are on your bike.
 
Still for sale....Perfect riding weather...someone come get this.

Talked to my aunt today. She would be okay with trades + cash. Looking for something like a sv650 or similar.

I have a bone stock '07 SV650 with only 2,700 miles (that's right!) :thumbup
I'm sure she's not up for a straight up trade. :(
