• 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.

Man If i had the cash I would be over today, there is a guy in Livermore with something similar that makes me turn my head every time he goes by..... Dont give up on the dirt, its where all the fun it at! Lower bikes make it easier to transition, then you will get fed up with the crappy ground clearance and want a "tall" bike back. Anyway free bump!
 
250 2 smoke are the best !!

a 250 4 stroke is a girls bike :afm199 I still race a 2 smoke at 52 years young. and am 5-6 150
 
How is this thing still for sale? Complete dirt and street wheels with good tires mounted, PLATED smoker. Come on, folks. Grab this cool little scoot before I buy it and end up in marriage counseling. :laughing
 
Hey? I didn't know you like to get dirty???
Or maybe you don't since you're selling it:)
 
rode it last night after dinner.

almost died a couple times; almost ditched it into mud thats 3 feet deep that i'm sure the bike would have quickly sunk into. thankfully my maddd skillz (luck) kept me on 2 wheels.


gonna lower the price to $3600 FIRM, which is what I paid for it.
This is a BARF only price; it will remain at $4k on Craigslist
 
buuuump

someone buy this before I motard it out and decide to keep the silly thing :loco
 
come on people; $3600 is a DAMN good deal for this sick ass machine .... someone buy the silly thing :loco

The best way to get over the fear of falling when riding a dirt bike is to develop a "love" of falling. That's what the Gear is for.
My FIRST dirt ride ever was the Sheetiron on a 1980 XT500. Beautiful bike before that. I had no idea. Of course the dudes I was riding with were dirt newbies as well (course they were on XR650's...no complaint on the xt power wise it just wasnt made for the beating it got). With one little caveat. They were serious mountain bikers. Turns out said caveat made all the difference and the insited on taking the hard cuts. I literally cannot count the times I fell off that fucker that first 12 hour day. Got the WR and grew to love it.

Get ANY dirt bike and do the Lost Coast, Sheetiron etc w/ some friends and no matter how bad it goes (believe me....seriously) you'll want more.

Sorry for the drunk post but truff imho.

Cheers!
 
bump

$3500 for a BARFer


i need this thing gone, as I have moved to other motorcycle priorities......
 
Damn, how is this thing still here? If you still have this come mid July (assuming my quarterly bonus is good) I will have to buy it back. I certainly missed having this thing last weekend in Death Valley.
 
i got no problem holding it for you until then... with a deposit, hell, you can even take posession of the silly thing now (reverse of the deal you did with me! :laughing )


i need the garage space more than anything; and while i dont *need* the cash, it would be helpful in lubing some wheels.... but when is that ever not the case!
 
and btw folks, i'm not going to lower the price any more. its $3500.

I know i can get that for it; just a matter of time...
 
No need to hold it. If it is still available when I have the cash, we will talk. I don't have room in my garage, either. :laughing
 
:rant why cant I have a HUGE BARN to store my bikes :rant



but as Dani/horsepower says: So many bikes, only 1 ass

:rofl
