I purchased this bike a couple months as a commuter. When I got it, the Superhawk was running with a few electrical issues. The previous owner said that the salvage title was due to a collision in which the bike didn't go down but did collide with a car which caused the cosmetic damage on the right side. The right fairing was replaced with an unpainted white one. I later dropped the bike on the right side at low speed and cracked the unpainted right fairing as well as damaging the right mirror bracket.
I replaced the rear tire, got a new battery, and sorted out the bike's electrical problems. Next on my list was an oil change, but before getting to that I was on a ride home on 02/16/14 when the oil light came on and the engine made a noise you never want to hear from your motorcycle. I immediately hit the kill switch and got a tow home. On 02/23/14 I was able to look into the problem further. I found the oil cap bolt stripped and was able to remove it with an easy out without damaging the inner threads. When I drained the oil I found multiple metal shavings within, indicating severe engine damage.
It is my understanding that the engine is now shot, barring a full rebuild. Various engines used engines are available on Ebay for $600-800,

Or this Superhawk may just have to be a parts bike.
Looking at recent Ebay sold prices I added up the value of some of the parts I wouldn't have too much trouble pulling off the bike on a Sunday afternoon,
Vance Hines Exhaust $225
Vance Hines S4 Stainless Exhaust Honda Superhawk VTR1000 Vance Hines | eBay
Corbin Seat $130
00 Honda Superhawk VTR1000 VTR 1000F Corbin Seat 328 | eBay
Heli Bars $85

Radiators $210 (I have one new, one almost new, and one used)

Rear Wheel $64 (I would imagine mine is worth more with the new tire)

Forks $100

These components add up to $1,104 and represent only a fraction of the still good parts including the currently titled frame. I would do that but my current job requires 6 days a week of work and having my day off is worth more to me if I can get my asking price.

Dear vultures,
It appears that he is trying to sell the whole bike as a parts bike or for a rebuild, and just listed the approximate value of parts included to demonstrate it's value. His hexday work schedule makes him too busy to part out at the moment,
Sincerely,
Next in line for the exhaust

I am the one who bought the bike. I am keeping some parts, but the rest is up for grabs. I will make my own thread soon and add prices as I figure out what parts are worth.
As of now the levers, complete front end with brakes, the pipes, the fuel tank I am keeping.
The frame is cracked by the right radiator mount and at the gage cluster bracket mounting point.
I have a new in package Ape CCT( only one) for $35 shipped to CONUS.
DR. Honda velocity stacks: make offer
Wilburs rear shock : make offer
Corbin seat with yellow trim: $200
I will add prices after I find out what they are worth and make a new thread.
till then feel free to make reasonable offers.

I will definitely look at the rules.
I fact I had already started typing out the ad, but hit 'post' , since I want to read the rules first.
I did not realize I was over stepping anything in the posts I have made so far.
I apologize if I have done so. I will delete/edit the offending posts once I find out what they are. I have been a long time lurker, but haven't been to classifieds much at all.
