Todays craigslist gold:eek::
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/1198522387.html

Only 500 miles on it.. but still way over priced.

Wow, that is so cool... Brand new... 2004..... emmmm i will give him............... 3 grand.

"This is not a misprint, $11,500 FIRM"!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

what a hamburglar

The skull on the lower fairing is worth at least $8k.

I love how people order a part from a catalog, then call it custom.

And I bet he can show reciept for all of those 11,5K... :rolleyes:

Why can people never understand that purchase price of the bike plus goodies never equals selling price?

If they do I have another 14K VTR for sale! Any takers?! I can build a new one like mine for the purchase price when new and still have money left...;)

Those skulls alone have to be worth what,... about $3K , or more!!!!

2600 firm, keep the skull lower and make a lamp out of it.......

Tweety, that's one hell of a bike! It's nice to see it well documented. Not hijack, but, what modification made the most difference handling wise?

Ummm, yea. I'll give you $12,000 and not a penny more. :confused:

Let's see...tail section, pipes, lower fairing and paint...lets not forget the painted stock rims. $3k-$4k in extras on a bike that is worth maybe $5k stock. And how do you still have a warrantee on an '04?

Pesos?

Or at least Canadian dollars?

F*** that.

Well with me riding like the dumbass I am, the bike scared me a few times in stock form with front end dive, bottoming out and feeling mute and lumpy, and a few times when I felt the front suspension compress from my bodyweight alone in corners enough to change the steering geometry... That was fun... :eek:

So the fork was probably the biggest step...

Buuut, once the front was sorted the rear would frequently go hopping of on it's own little adventure during braking (not that I couldn't control it, but it was annoying)...
So having a fully adjustable rear suspension with a calm relaxed feel from the rigid swingarm is very, very nice... ;)

I kind of like the whole of it... So I can't really separate one from the other...

I have entered in this month's VTROTM, so feel free to vote...

And now back to your scheduled craigslist bashing...

"CUSTOM BOTTOM FAIRING WITH A CUSTOM SKULL PAINT JOB ON BOTH SIDES. "

good to know it's on both sides.... cuz one side would just be silly. i'd hate to have someone not see that beauty

i dont know.. but..lol i think he needs to minus some money off the selling price for painting it with those skulls. And those annoying 1990's boys in the hood wanna be 100 spoke gold daytons are just not cutting it. Nice bike, b ut way over customized in the wrong direction i think. just my opinon.

But if he keeps it i suggest a arai quantem 2 jolly roger for this season. hehe


5150

take a zero off the end and you have yourself a deal...

what do you call this a "high baller"?:confused:

He's high... because he's up in the "legal to grow pot" area of California.

I have a warrantee on my 99 until october 2010. It sat in a showroom till 2005 and they gave the bike a five year warrantee. sweet huh

I'm in the same kind of area in CO. It's great.

And NO test rides.... not a good sign

But duuuuude, its "custom" hahahahahaha!!!

I bought mine as overstock, with 4 miles on it, brand new, last August. I have the current factory warranty still, and am eligible for an extended warranty. Mine's an '03. It's possible it still has the warranty, and with only 500 miles. Course, I paid 7k for mine brand new, got the best financing, and didn't have to put any money down. I could see a total sucker getting suckered in for more if they didn't know what they were doing. Hell, I didn't know what I was doing but don't regret my purchase one minute =)

But 11.5k? Maybe a completely bone stock '98 with > 5 miles. Maybe.

One word....GEE!

Hey thats my neck of the woods.I've never seen that bike.I wonder if it's the same guy who's been trying to sell the Rear blinkers and tail light for the past 2 years on craigs list

Man, some people just. don't. get it. Here in Whale's Vagina some idiot has been posting the same CDROM for $10 for yeah, probably two years now.

back OT, the only time I'd spend $11K for a bike is if it was in great shape and retailed for twice that a few years prior, ie, 999R.

How many miles on the old speedometer he swapped out?

I didn't think about the left-overs that have been on the floor for years. Damn, I should find one of thems and sell mine.

This guy been smoking too much of his own shit.
