I realize I'm walking the same walk (of Shame) as countless others who've gone before me, and preaching to the choir here. I've decided not to part the bike out. It just seems wrong. I paid $3400 for the bike with 21K miles on it (and far fewer upgrades). I'm told a reasonable price for the bike is $2800. So I'm asking 650 bucks for the upgrades. Seems fair to me. (I can add up the cost of upgrades, but suffice it to say it's more than my original cost for the bike...) No 'bites' here, so be it, I'll move along.

I'm willing to deliver the bike to a shipping agent, but the buyer will need to pay all shipping crating charges/shipping fees/etc. I'm guessing maybe 500 shipped to Tejas, another 250-300 to the East coast. But the buyer is cautioned to verify shipping costs and not take my guesstimates.Then again, I can pick you up at the plane/train/bus station, and you can ride it home as I did (from San Diego).

I have the Cali 'pink' in hand. Payment method can be negotiated, but some form of 'cash', e.g., cash, PayPal, Cashier's Check required.

Thanks,
Alan

Why are you selling? Are you getting out of the Two Wheeled Gangs? I would loved to have made an offer on what you have....but I am already in two ("too" with the wife) deep with Super Hawk's.
Good Luck.

F*$k me.... I'm getting those thoughts of flying in and riding it back home to Florida dancing in my head... Man that's beautiful machine.

If Only!!!
 

Alan, Sorry to see it go. As you know, I've seen it up close and it 's one of the cleanest ones I've seen. If I had disposable $ I'd buy it right now! It's worth every cent. Good luck.

Parts galore, you make out quite well. :evillaugh:

I am listing the bike, starting tomorrow at 0800 PDT, on eBay @$3400. If someone here has an interest, PM me (or call: 661-221-1692). I'll have costs associated with the eBay sale that I won't have if sold via this site. I'll pass that savings on to the buyer.

I think I've got the major take-off parts, e.g., wheels, swing-arm. I'll include them in the sale. Buyer pays shipping or will pick up. I'd also be willing to ride the bike to a shipper where it would be crated, and shipped at buyer's expense. captainchaos, I can pick you up at the airport (LAX, or Burbank). I'll put you up for a night, and you can hit the '40' not far from here which will take you on a Southerly route to FL.

Why I'm selling:
I'm planning a move, into my 'retirement' home. All of the properties I'm looking at are 'rural'. One or two are on top of mountains. LOL. Literally. You look down from the access road and the San Joaquin Valley is a bunch of green 'squares'...like you're flying. Deer and elk grazing next to the road. No shit. They just look at you and go on about eating the low hanging leaves on the trees as you pass them. I've lived my whole life in apartments, condos, and tract-homes. I want a few years of...space. Anyway...many of these places don't have garages. I'd have to bundle the SH up. Or let it set out in the elements. In addition, I'd have to get it there. I already have too much to move...

Underlying reason 1, above, is the fact that I'm no spring chicken. I believe the Super Hawk has outmatched me in terms of what it can do, versus what I can. LOL. I bought a KLR-650, and I'm a whole lot more comfortable riding it (physically, and mentally) than riding the SH. I suppose I could ride the Super Hawk like...an 'old man'. But where's the fun in that? (The truth is, I most likely CAN NOT ride the SH any other way but how I've always ridden...aggressively). Frankly, I ride the KLR and the SH pretty much the same. But due to the difference in performance, the KLR's lesser acceleration, etc., I have a 'buffer' against my impulses. Everything happens a lot 'slower' on the KLR, versus the SH. I have had good 'luck' riding bikes for all my years. No major wrecks. Part of that is, somehow I've always ridden within my 'means'. Those means have contracted somewhat in the past few years. I need to adapt. ;)

Alan

Thanks for your interest, Xeris...

I've priced the bike to sell on eBay. As noted, there's costs associated with that not attendant to a sale otherwise. eBay charges $125 Final Value fee. So deduct that. Also, if you don't use PayPal to pay, deduct 3% of the selling price, e.g., $3400 - 125 = $3275. $3275 x .03 = $100 (rounded). So final is $3175. I'm starting to think removing the upgrades, selling the bike stock, and selling the upgrades separate will be worthwhile... LOL.

Alan

Sorry to see you go, that is a beautiful bike for sure.

GLWS Alan. Sure is a beautiful bike. Worth more than your ask IMO.
