BLIZANTHIMUM · 07-08-2010, 11:32 PM

what bike?

romo23 · 07-08-2010, 11:35 PM

wow...., fixed.

BLIZANTHIMUM · 07-08-2010, 11:45 PM

idk any history on the bike but i can tell you that the bike has been down cause the right side fairing dont have the correct white sticker decal like the left side does.

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 12:07 AM

didnt notice that in the pics, thanks.

Exitwounds · 07-09-2010, 12:36 AM

I can't tell if that is a blinker or not. I would venture to say that whole side fairing was replaced.

Check the rearsets, bar ends, passenger pegs, case covers, pipe and edges for scratches/gouges. They could be there and be painted over. If he damaged the side fairing, other parts scraped.

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 12:49 AM

if its been down im not messing with it, ill look at it. thanks for the help.

Back Of The Pack · 07-09-2010, 01:39 AM

I have the same bike, mine was down and it runs like a champ. If he wants to get rid of it he will budge on the price especially if it has been down. Double check the title make sure it is clean etc. Use common sense hear it run take it for a spin and ask questions you can find out tons of stuff about a bike if you ask the right questions. If you need help holla I'm free tomorrow if you want someone to roll out there with you and take a look at it. 965-5453

Back Of The Pack · 07-09-2010, 01:42 AM

BTW the bike has been for sale for awhile.

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 01:47 AM

i might take you up on the offer to look at it. deal is looking like it will be my 2001 sv650 and 1000 cash for his bike but that was before i was aware of the non matching stickers and all that. i am nervous a 1000 is too big given my current bike.

i went from my 1993cbr f2to my 02 954rr and i wouldnt have it any other way

Back Of The Pack · 07-09-2010, 02:44 AM

Depending on the condition of the R1 that doesn't seem like a bad deal NADA value average retail book for yours is around 2500 the R1 is 5200. Not to say that the R1 is worth it but that doesn't sound like a bad deal. I think a close inspection is warranted.

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 03:05 AM

yeah its potentially a good deal although insurance is about 800 more a year for the r1, im only concerned about the integrity of the bike and it being too much for me id refer an r6.

botb ill text you if i go look at it tomorrow/ technically today, what times are best for you.

Call State Farm on Overland (Angela Webb). A brand new R1 with full coverage was only going to be $35/mo for me. I know everyone has a different situation that will effect that but a lot of people here have switched to them because they have great rates.

Don't be scared of a 1000. I don't want to start the 600 or 1000 debate but you can get in just as much trouble on a 600 as a 1000. Use your head and you'll be fine. If that is a big deal to you though and you really want a 600 I'd say pass on this deal. It's not any sort of super deal that you won't ever find again on a bike you really want.

Just switched to State Farm and they are way cheaper!!

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 10:54 AM

ill check state farm for the 1000, got a quote from them 5 months ago for my sv650 and they were 11 more a month. insurance will be high though im 21, male and not married. even though my driving record has nothing on it.

katnip · 07-09-2010, 10:56 AM

I think he is asking to much for the bike....hence the reason it hasnt sold yet

he said he is pretty flexible on the price, but he tried to pull the "oh i have two guys that wanna buy it were in negotiations" thing.

Back Of The Pack · 07-09-2010, 11:46 AM

Good time for me is whenever just hit me up.

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 12:08 PM

k just waiting on his response but i just got called into work at 4 so i wouldnt count on him getting back to me in time, maybe if his offer is right ill look at it tomorrow before bike night.

.

I switched to angela webb at shaners advice. Best move I made in regards to insurance. 35.00 is low though. I have an 2007 R1, Homeowner, married and have 2 car policies and 3 motorcycle policies on top of my home policy. I pay 60.00 a month

I like that bike BUTTTTT

I would fork over a few hundred more for a 04 or newer with the undertail exhaust. Motor is a lot stronger. IMO. If you have to take a drive. Bikes are cheap right now. I think that dude can come down to around 4k if he wants is gone. I see 04 + in the 4500 - 5000 range..

r1bran · 07-09-2010, 12:37 PM

5k for 04 http://boise.craigslist.org/mcy/1825350365.html
5500 for 05 TON of mods http://boise.craigslist.org/mcy/1827269035.html

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 12:59 PM

i do like the 04 better, but this is willing to take my current bike in as a partial trade which makes the deal cuz i dont have 4 g's to spend right now.

r1bran · 07-09-2010, 01:14 PM

I never cared much for Yamaha until I got one. Great bike. Back of the pack loves his. Actually everyone Ive known that has one loves it

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 01:16 PM

nevermind, the guy came back today and was like oh so "i thought about it and i think it would need to your bike and about 2500-3000 cash." f that. for 3000 i can pick up a 2000's r6 in addition.

thanks for the help anyways guys.

r1bran · 07-09-2010, 01:38 PM

Sorry bro what a d!ckhead. Bikes are cheap right now. You will find one that you can afford.

BTW I flagged him for being a d!ck to you.

that just made my day r1bran that shits funny, yeah he was a dick and tried to play that it got tipped over but didnt really go down.

anyways ill keep my eye open for someone willing to take cash and trade for a 600.

Pimpit · 07-09-2010, 02:27 PM

I know of a 99 r1 for under 3 and you might be able to get a hell of a trade in off yours

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 02:32 PM

is it thumpers? i saw that but i dont wanna deal with the hassle of selling mine and dealing with all the asshats. Id still prefer a 600 as insurance is 600 cheaper a year for me, not that i wouldnt consider r1's.

and where would i maybe get a hell of a trade in?

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 02:44 PM

im mechanically inclined enough to clean my chain, adjust my chain, change my oil and spark plugs and thats about it i dont trust myself to accurately judge the mechanical condition of a bike especially if its been down. like if the forks are bent or anything else like that.

lil_schmitty · 07-09-2010, 02:58 PM

04 R6 for $10,000!! Send an offer for about $3500. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218...&lpid=&search=

Wonder if it comes with the crack pipe the poster was using when they created this ad?

Pimpit · 07-09-2010, 04:03 PM

No shat. For that price it better be made of gold

Liteone · 07-09-2010, 06:42 PM

I hope he understands that OBO isn't going to be anywhere close to what he's askin.

i'd like to tak to that dude and just listen to him, to find out if he's as dum as he appears to be.

BLIZANTHIMUM · 07-09-2010, 08:23 PM

why are you unhappy with the SV romo?

lil_schmitty · 07-09-2010, 08:28 PM

Or this one for $41,000 ($4100 hundred as he says) ... surprised he also doesnt post as 90,000 miles (9,000k miles) http://boise.craigslist.org/mcy/1834658550.html

romo23 · 07-09-2010, 08:32 PM

not really unhappy its an amazing bike, and in pristine condition really. i just am not really fond of the looks, and mods are limited. I would just prefer a bit more power with a 600 and ill be able to do a little stunting. its really bad to stunt the sv because wheelies run the front cylinder dry on oil not too mention its hard ass hell to get them up, 2 to 1 let off the gas for the suspension to dive then as it rebounds hit the throttle HARD.

i am in no hurry though and will wait for the right deal.
