Call the number and ask him for pic's and if it has a clean title... as I stated in the first post I pulled it over from a non public web page and the pictures were to big for this site.

Wow helluva good deal. I paid nearly that much to fix my bike after a little get-off last year. I'm almost tempted to buy it and take all the goodies off it for my bike and then resell it. Garage full though...
Please post up pics, someone needs to buy this.

If I didn't buy another bike just 3 weeks ago I'd probably have brought you cash the day you revived the thread. This is easily the best deal I have ever seen on this forum. Someone buy this now if it's still for sale.

great bike. great price. Just a bad time to sell. Problem is that all sales are down. I've never witnessed the deals that are out there now, new and used. Those that are unaffected by the economy will usually but new or low mileage or are too scared to purchase anything frivolous. Add to this, the superhawk is a niche bike appealing to those of distinctive taste.
A new rider/friend asked my help when he wanted to buy a used bike. there was a 2005 low mileage, super clean SH and a nice f4i he looked at. I suggested the f4i for him because i figured that most will get rid of there bikes after the novelty wears off and the f4i would be easier to sell for more than the SH, even though I told him that I would never buy the f4i over the SH myself. Being money conscious of future value and for the potential of expanded buyers, he chose the f4i. Of course i was quietly disappointed with his choice, but his loss.
Personally, I wouldn't sell a bike at this time unless i could get my price because it would be like giving it away. They won't lose anymore value and may gain later. that is, unless you or your kids are starving, then you have to do what you have to do.

I have to say this about that. If you can't find a bike now for a steal right now, you're really just mind fu*kin yourself. There are so many steals it's mindboggling, they're everywhere, so no need to fret, just get one of them while you can.
I needed to sell a bike for 2500, what i felt it was worth fairly, and this guy comes in and tells me that it was 300 over blue book acc to the honda shop. I told him to tell the honda shop to get him one as good as mine for that price. he returned later and bought it for 2500. i don't want to scalp anyone, just want a fair price. if you have to scalp to buy, then you shouldn't buy it IMHO.
how's that for brutal honesty. Now go buy one of those great SH's for nub!
