Ducati Monster Forum

Hey Rick, check this out.  ;)

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/693712881.html

Looks like Michael decided to sell his R6 as well...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/692898107.html

It's all interesting but I'm still a ways off from doing anything.  I'd add the height back to the 675. Maybe lowering the tail only 1" would slow the steering down a bit. Dunno. BTW, what style bike is Michael looking for?

He doesn't seem to really know.  I almost imagine him going back and getting another Harley, but who knows.  I do think he would get a Monster if he stumbled across the right one though...

I ain't gettin' rid of the Monster.

LOL!  That isn't what I was getting at.  He had been looking at a few that were posted on CL, but they all wanted more money than he wanted to dish out...

Mac?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/696167036.html

And here is a true winner for you.  lol

oh, the temptation!

The 900 SS guy is completely crackers, even if that was the last year they were made and he doesn't even mention that fact. There is/was one on eBay today that was punched out to 944 and was set up with FCR-41's and lots of other goodies. It'll be had for less than what that guy is dreaming about.

The old Honda doesn't look so bad but you have to stop and consider that there was nothing special about them even when they were new. I know. For three years I assembled every new one of them that were sold on this island. They were the "poor man's 750" except that they were disappointingly down on power and didn't have any handling going for them either. They were smooth though and at the time they made a neat noise. Now that noise is commonplace and the I4's today sound far meaner than the CB500F could ever dream of.  The aftermarket parts didn't help much in the power dept. even with full Yoshimura kits. Hugely expensive for the return. 

Now this is nice:

Michael took his R6 off Craigslist. What's up? Did he sell it?

Yep.  He was just over here and he told me that it sold today.  Someone came and gave him the $6G he was looking for...

Even trade! Someone jump on this!  ;D
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/697935122.html

yow.  how much does he think that "thing" is worth?  Yeesh!

Craigslist brings out the strange ones even moreso than eBay.  Check SilentBobs thread in the non moto section.

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

That is simply outstanding!!

Anybody looking for a psycho?

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/649331801.html

Or maybe a slightly worn out spouse?

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/641609489.html

The bird thing is good.  [laugh]  Don't know how the wife thing made it to the "Best Of" category.

Here's a tasty little treat:

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/720681050.html

I think we have ridden with that guy.  Hey just recently bought the 916 that is sitting in the background and has a thing for Vtwins. 

Mac, here is one more thing to tempt you with...  ;)

I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Let's see what happens with the T9 for a little while first.

I have no desire to see you lose the 999 Mac, I just happen to like the RCs.   And aside from the red front fender, that's a nice example.

I really don't either.  I just like throwing the bone of temptation as far as it can possibly go.  ;)

umm, eww?

Don't hate!   8)

No worries.  A good looking RC51 could be a real contender. I like them even if they are a bit on the wide side. Arlen's (??) is a little on the plain flat black side for my taste. Yes, that front fender looks a little out of place.

Just looked at the pics again and DAMN if that thing's exhaust doesn't look a lot like the Aprilia RSV's.

This is Nic's bike.  Been out a time or two with us and it is pretty nice...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/724583281.html

He did a decent job fixing that tank up, but I don't know if I'd be willing to pay $4k for it, esp. if it's a salvage title.  Eh, who knows?

Does it have a salvage title?  The add said it was an auction bike, but never mentioned the title being a salvage affair...

Perhaps not.  I was assuming a bit, and tired.  And stupid.

This is my dream bike: 

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/723784797.html

I've always wanted an RC51, but a nice one has never come up for sale until now . . . too bad i've got negative cash flow right now.

Wow, dude really went all out on those pics!

Yea, he wanted to show off all the fine detail on that machine.  ;)

But more importantly, does anyone know of anyone else who might want to buy a lightly used '07 S2R800?  ;)

List it and hope for the best!

Yea, that is what I was planning on doing.  I have been looking around and see lots of 695s and other 800s going for the high seven low eight thousand mark.  Too bad we are all the way out in the middle of an ocean.  Sure would be easier to sell, and replace, if we were on the mainland. 

Ain't that the truth? Plus we'd have a much larger inventory of used bikes to pick from too. It cost me $1,700.00 to have the Monster crated and shipped from Omaha. Cough. Paradise tax. Cough.

$1700?  That sucks!  I was hoping to see a lower number than that!  Mind if I ask who you used to ship it down here?

And for those that are interested, here is a classic BMW for sale:
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/727717683.html


This thing would probably be LOTS of fun too:
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/727286529.html

Ok, dig this.  I just posted the Duc online for $7500 and get a reply within minutes. 

JC Shipping.  That was the price of the crate, shipping the crate to Omaha, loading up the bike and bringing it back to Long Beach and then shipping over here. We went down to the freight forwarder here with  a flat bed. I still have the crate (I hope) at my old shop.

I still don't care for the high upright seating on the 'tards.  One reason why I don't have one.

Was it a serious reply?

Seems to me.  He sent me two emails about it, and in the first said that he had been down to SS, earlier today no less, and looked at the 696.  Said that he did not find it to his liking...

Gee, imagine that?  [roll]

SY D675 anyone?  ;)

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/728118404.html

Not my color. That red isn't too bad though isn't it?

I really like that tornado red colour.  I most likely would have purchased one of those instead of the SE if they had had a red one when I pulled the trigger.

Anyone looking for a project?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/731801296.html

Or maybe something a touch more complete?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/730829184.html

Yeah, I saw that one last night.  It be purdy, that's for sure.  Except for the tall windscreen.

I like it!!

oh my.  Good luck in this economy!

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/731866384.html

$25000 is kinda steep for only 117 cc

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/733057075.html

Last of the 916 bloodline, gen 1 testastretta

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/732916113.html

Man, oh man, Ducs coming out of the woodwork now and me with the 999 sucking all spare cash dry.  :(

Here is a humorous non-Duc posting.

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/pit/708850980.html

would have been better if he had a few burritos and then some exlax

 [roll]

Hmmm, Ben, take a look:

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/738238303.html

man, another duc:

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/738019547.html

Wow... 916 body with a 998 engine.  I'm gonna need a moment alone.

What was this one?  It's flagged for removal.  Was it this one?  http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/738392816.html  If so, I just sent him an email.  The one I am buying has the 2into1 megaphone, along with many other mods, less miles and would only cost three hundred more once shipped.  But, maybe this guy would come down? 


Damn man, coming out of the woodwork.  There is also a 999s down at South Seas in Waipahu.  Not sure what they are asking for it, but might be worth a look.

yup that's the one.

Do you remember what, if anything, was different about the adds?

I only glanced at it before a meeting.  I"m not sure if anything is different.

Hmmm...  We shall see if they email me back.  But, I still think that the other one is a better deal with all the work done to it.  Just sucks that it is so far away.  Thanks for posting it up anyways.   [beer]

Have you seen this one
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/738392816.html
I remember you posting that you liked something similar...

Yep, that's the one that R-Lo first posted on here today.  I called the guy already and am going to see it tomorrow after work.

Calm yourself. My take on what he's saying is that he's selling the 916 because he bought a 998.

Yea, but ...  you've made a deal already. Besides think about how much you'd spend in mods to make the one here  be like the other one.

Poo.  You are right.  And when you're right, you're right.  And you, you're always right.
 
[cheeky]

Yea, I know.  And I told the guy over the phone that I have pretty much committed on a different bike.  But who knows, if this guy could be talked down into the low to mid 8s.  ;)

Funny thing is, he just moved here from San Diego, works for PACOM (same as me) and has a Triumph.  We talked for quite a bit and I turned him on to the local Triumph cruiser guys schedule, so hopefully he can hook up with them.

two more ducs:


http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/739968957.html

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/739898722.html

Geez R-lo, we were talking about that 916 like a week ago.  Geez.
 
[roll]


 ;D

The FILA 916?  I must've missed that..  This is the first that I've seen of it. 

Well I'm just glad you saw it, cause it's mighty purty.

I think the 916 has been sold, unless the deal fell through.

it did fall through.

You should buy it then!

that's what I've been telling my wife!

Don't tell, just do.  And if she complains afterwards, tell her to get back in the kitchen!!   ;D

Man, all the jujitsu and karate in the world wouldn't save my @ss if I told her that! 

97 748
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/741928667.html

Damn if all these SBKs that keep popping up aren't bloody lovely!  Almost makes me wish I had decided to sell the Daytona instead of the S2R...  NOT!  :)

Not a motorcycle, but it fits the current happenings at the moment, if you know anyone that would fit on it...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/bik/744166007.html

Or a tasty looking 748?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/744179209.html

Of course that 748 looks tasty.  It's not the actual bike, it's from a brochure or something. The actual bike could look as good or not.

I didn't necessarily mean THAT 748 looked tasty.  But on the other hand, don't they all look pretty damned tasty?  ;)

Pretty little Colnago, but a touch short.

Wow.  An 848 up for sale already.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/744998062.html

He had that bike posted up a few weeks ago, while it was still in SC even.  Funny thing is, he didn't lower the price any, and there are more than two other white 848s on Oahu already.

I reckon there must be at least 4 white 848's here and at least 3 red ones.

Found this gem on craigslist.
Complete with "SHE RYDEZ" in graffiti letters on the fairings (see pic)
Shame on me for not overhauling my Ducati every 5k miles.  :-\
3K upgrade = no "overhaul" for another 25k miles... yeah I guess 3k is more than enough for an R1 motor swap.  ???

You have to wonder if that guy really exists and if he's really serious and believes all that. WTF is a titanium coil anyway? No one has to answer that.

At least he dropped the price, he was asking $13,000.00 before.  [laugh]

Damn, why buy that tricked out '03 999 when you can have "She Rydez"? 

Hey! Don't jinx me.  [laugh]

Rick, 2006 D675 graphite. 

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/803547865.html

Dude is wanting way too much money for it, but give him a call.  You can probably talk him down by calling bullshit on the "only 200 made total" bit. 

Until I sell the T9 I am not seriously in the market. Thanks though.

Yea, I know.  Just thought I would throw that out for you...

Black and red 695.  Price seems a little high to me...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/805962267.html

yeah that's a bit high.  Unfortunately, it's probably what he owes the bank since it looks like it's pretty new.

+all the extra bits he got (tire coverage, etc)

that's about what I paid for my bike

Why would someone get a brand new bike when they know they're getting out so soon and moving back? Did they have a "re-up" change of heart?

Good possibility.  Or maybe they're getting the boot!

Yea, my neighbor, the CID agent, has been telling me of all sorts of people they have been busting lately for drug use up near Schofield.

And on another note, anybody remember this bike?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/807969077.html

Seems that I remember it selling for a little less than he claims though...
 
(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z53/b_upton/0608081506a.jpg)
(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z53/b_upton/0608081506.jpg)

You know, those RSVs are beautiful, but they really took a step backwards with the current model.  They took a unique looking bike and then made it look like a now defunct RC-51.  Nowadays, it seems that more and more italian bikes are looking like Japanese bikes. 

not the DB7... that's the 1098 I want in my garage  [evil]

You have a garage?  You've been holding out!

fixed

You want an Aston Martin in your apartment? :) ?

if it were the DB9, yes. ;)

No kidding!!  Who would need a bed, or a sofa, or a tv, or anything else for that matter?  I could sit and stare at that car for hours.

They're coming out of the woodwork again...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/809917760.html

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/809883838.html

I could be really tempted to call about that ST, but damn if I can afford to try and pick up a third bike.   [bang]

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/808982632.html

Teddy, this last one is near you.  You should go check it out.  ;)

Or if wasabi is more to your liking...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/808988849.html

You missed this one, which is actually a newer post than the 749 Dark (Dark originally posted on Aug. 11).

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/808982632.html

Prime time for someone wanting some SBK's.

Uhm...  Rick, that was the third link I posted.

Ooops, Sorry, I jumped from the 1st and 2nd to the RC51.  [bacon]

ugh. I will never throw a leg over an RC51 again. that's like mounting a damn cow.

if I could get 6g for my monster, the 749s would be mine... it's a hot lil'bike

I think the 749 is far better suited to the Island than the 999. If I had to do it all over again that's what I'd pick Ducati wise. But then again I've never ridden one so I have no basis in fact with which to make that judgment, just speculating.

Can you believe the idiots are at it again?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/big/mcy/815770883.html

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/814691159.html

PUT THE CRACK PIPE DOWN BOYS!!!

Why would you buy a tricolore and paint it black?  And then expect 30k for it??

Well, the Ape wasn't all that bad until the "sister" comment.  But someone trying to sell a Tricolore with Dark panels on it?  And for 30G?   [roll]

STOP STEALING MY THOUGHTS!!! 

if you just wore the tin foil hat you wouldn't have this problem  [cheeky]

He says he still has all the original panels & tank in the tri colore scheme. He says he bought spare parts and painted them black. Yeah, sure. 30K  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

While he does say that he has the original body panels, he neglects to say that they look like a three year old went at them with a ball peen hammer from not being able to impersonate Rossi as well as I do.  ;)

Does this impersonation include shrinking to a size 2, fro'in out the hair, and getting ear extensions?

lol  yep, how did you guess?

Rick, looking for a slightly larger motard than that 250 that you took for a spin?

http://www.forumshawaii.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=439321

The one and only motard that I would consider is the 690 Duke. The smaller engines work fine around town but have to work too hard on the freeways.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/830818901.html

 ???

What the cheese? :'(

Evolution. The pull of the dark side is strong. ------ but.......... you never know.  [evil]

Mama also says not another bike unless this one is sold. (Finances being what they are I agree with her on that point) So, we just have to wait and see.

How dark is this side?  Are you truly just 'feeling'?

It is as dark as a GSX-R 750 ever could be.  ;)

And on a lighter note:

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/829717961.html

saw.



want.

C'mon now, a Gixxer isn't that bad of a bike.  [moto]  Besides, although it is the current front runner, there's no guarantee that it'll be the final choice. 

no CBR1000RR?

Thought about it. Still think about it. Great bike but costs more than the 750 and that cuts out mods. Costs more to insure too. Meanwhile there's a really nice Aprilia Factory Mille R in LA. That's the idiot side of me talking.  [laugh]

I know it's a good bike.  And I suppose I should trust in your magical upgrade skills.

I still like my 848 idea...  [evil]

maybe something ludicrous like that will be enough to distract me.


well, no. I can't even finish my damn bike.  why get another?


what're you going to mod on the gixxer? drag swingarm? chrome spinner rims? jailbait on the back?  [cheeky]

Only if she's in shorts and slippers, preferably with a helmet locked up under her leg

If she's in shorts and slippers, and is 18, I believe that would be legal here. I would get shot for it though.  [laugh]

Listen to that man, he knows what he is talking about.   [evil]


PAH!!  Lock up the guns!  Or better yet, bring them over to my place.  ;)

What is it about the bike that makes it attractive to you? Just being curious you know.

$15,200 or so OTD @ South Seas.  Kind of pricey?? The only thing better on one of those is that it doesn't have the same potential immobilizer issue as the 999. Maybe it runs cooler??

it's a rigid triumph. I certainly wouldn't keep it the way it is... but it's a nice start.  besides, I just dig on bobbers...


yeah, but it would be awful fun nekkifying that thing... I see a hot lil' hooligan under all those ugly fairings...

Have you been reading the new issue of Sport Rider lately?

Where they strip the R1?

Yep.

Teddy --- this is for you, although Ben already has dibs on it.

http://orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/832215217.html

It has the Bonnie engine not the Trophy engine.

not sure I've ever picked up an issue of sport rider...

I just set about thinking of a way to make the 848/1098 a better looking machine.

purty [thumbsup]

Shazaam. This looks interesting again, body work changes and all. Too bad I don't fit it well.

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelimagelib/8/11/1/0/image.aspx

The license plate area looks like one of those in-air refueling pod thingies.  But not bad, considering. 

Both the R6 and R1 have had that taillight appendage for years. I think it's the first thing people yank off. You'd think Yamaha would get the message by now. Plus they haven't done anything with those ugly front turn signals either. More money for the aftermarket vendors I guess.

They also missed the boat on the new nose for the R1.

Wasn't Shawn talking about how they actually increased the weight of the bike while the power decreased?

Which bike? You're not assigning homework are you?  ;)

The R6, when we were down there that Saturday.

I didn't hear that part since I have all but crossed the Yamaha off the list due to ergonomics & power delivery characteristics. The 2009 website lists the R6 as 414 lbs. wet. The 2008 specs list it as 366 lbs. dry. Not much help there.

For only $20K this... uhh...thing.... can be yours!

I've already looked at the Suzuki......ahem, you know the rest of the story on that one.

As for the Aprilia, the one in LA could be had for less. Either way going that route is moving away from the defined parameters.

Hey, I'm here to help.  ;)

$9500?  Oh god I want.
 [moto] [moto] [moto] [thumbsup] [moto] [moto] [moto]

I'd want to know if that was the one that was wadded up into a ball (so to speak) up on Polipoli.

Well, the add got pulled as of this morning.  Plus, with the "clear title" it very well could have been that very bike. 

so then maybe $950?

You noticed that "clear title" part too huh?  The ad was up earlier this morning but not now you say.  Hmmm. Either it was sold or something else is up.

I haven't looked today but the guy who is/was selling the 08 750 GSXR has dropped the asking price. He never called me back & I haven't called him to find out if he got it fixed. Another Hmmmm.

I just figured 'clear title' meant it was paid for, no lien.  I'm such an innocent  [cheeky]

Yep, paid for when the insurance company wrote it off...

If experience has taught me anything, it's that insurance companies never pay for anything.  bastids!

Now how's this for a good deal?

lol  Far from saying that!  I would hate to think of the pucker factor, or battle scars that would occur from twisting that 1098S's throttle too abruptly.

that's why the best thing you can do to the new SBK is nekkify the thing!

then the scars won't matter

I meant scars in my shorts, not on the bike.   :-[

ohhh! racing stripes! they'll buff out

ooo ooo did someone say nekkify?  :D


there was this one time in band camp...

nekkified is the only way I would buy myself an 848. I could take it brand new, and throw away a bunch of shit.

put some proper handlebars on there and a chunky headlight...  [thumbsup]

Fortunately Ducati is making such a machine just for you.  For the rest of us (in the vast majority) the 1098/1198/848 is a seriously beautiful machine. It's a good thing you have such good taste in wines and cars 'cause otherwise ..........  ;D

wait, since when did you convert? I thought I had a kindered spirit in the 1098 dept.

no more blue eyed boy for you!  [cheeky]

we have some left, btw... but I've already accounted for a fair percentage of sales in this one lol

I've loved the looks of the 1098 ever since I saw the first photograph. That design is the Megan Fox of all the current superbikes/sportbikes. I think I'd rate my 750 somewhere around a Jennifer Anniston / Halle Berry.  The only issue I ever had/have with the 1098 is the relative plainness of some of the parts compared to the artwork that showed up on the 999. The tradeoff, of course, being price.

Maybe I'll hit up the Market City store.  [thumbsup]

they've sold out.

iirc they've got one bottle left of velvet glove...

I think it was the velvet glove. might be the other one... carnival of love?

I so dearly wanted two left feet, but noone got an allocation

RATS!

turn the guinness to gold!  [drink]

Anybody interested in an '08 D675SE or an '06 Sport1000?

sheesh. now what?

 :P

848s?

Close...  Need to see what I can get for at least one of the bikes I have now, or maybe the Honda.

we were joking about that, but I didn't think you'd actually jump. 

Not sure if I will or not, and honestly wasn't able to get that much of an impression of Rich's bike due to the fact that it isn't broken in yet.  But, and it is a big but, I found a screaming deal where I could get one (with all the right mods already) shipped here and turn a profit by selling it if I wasn't happy with it.

I knew that hook was set pretty deep. I saw it go in hook, line & sinker.   [evil]

If you only knew the deal I was offered on the hook.  Too bad this didn't happen a few weeks ago as well, because you could have bought my Daytona (saving yourself a couple of thousand from the Gixxer) and we would both be happy.  ;)

I might end up being happier with the Gixxer than the Daytona. I'm feeling really good about it after Sunday's ride and now I have this big carbon pipe for it that I think will work out great.

BLASPHEMY!!

DOUBLE OUCH!!

make the beast with two backs!!! 


Dude says it can be rebuilt and titled?  Did you see the damage done to the frame spars just in front of the tank?

yeah, that looks like one dead bike.

I'm curious to know what he hit.

Looks like everything and anything that could be hit to me. I wonder how he fared through that. $3,000.00? Ha!

I'd offer him ten dollars for the belt covers.  ;)

I like the way he described it as "front end damage" versus totally f'ed up!

Aw that'll buff right out.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/937117319.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/937117319.html)

Dude wants seventeen large for a 1098?  Granted, it does have quite a few tasty mods to it, but I have found several "S" models, with less miles on them, that I can get for that money.  Even with the cost to ship them here.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/936372167.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/936372167.html)

Or if you want a project to work on...

I'd say 14-15K for the 1098. Good mods, yes, that's true. Deduct $$ for the mileage.

ya.  7300 miles in 7 months is noticeable.

HA!!  Turns out that I know the guy that currently owns that bike, and just talked to him on the phone even.  He is the one that has been parking it at my building, at work, the last week or so.  Told me he is selling it because he has dibs on "the only" 1198S coming into the island.

and we all know how much 'dibs' means at south seas...

Don't be so cynical...   [cheeky]

I thought he was talking Hypermotard 1100S.

Yea, that's what he said in the add (he didn't mention that to me at all the other day) but he told me on the phone that all changed.  The change happened when South Seas called him yesterday and offered the one and only 1198S to him.  ;)

Not really a CL find, but wanted to make sure Teddy saw this.  ;)

damn shame I don't know crap about keeping things running

Didn't that bike and rider show up on one of our few large Ducati group rides?

Man!!  I would love to pick that up!!


Yes it did; the first Duc ride that I went on here in Hawaii.  Owner said that he was on the local highway planning committee.   [roll]

you have enough toys, ben ^_^

yeah, he was. I took more pics of his bike than the 1098 that showed up  ;D

SHOOSH YOU!!  You know nothing of my need for toys.  Besides, that would actually be a project, not a toy.   [cheeky]

That wouldn't have been hard to do. You don't even like 1098's.  [roll] :-*

fixed.

Sounds like a winner to me.  lol

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/hnl/884862361.html (http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/hnl/884862361.html)

Did any of you guys see this?  Probably the best chance to get the group some more exposure/members.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1004630960.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1004630960.html)

That was for last Saturday. The day that I was working on cars & bikes until 3:15 in the afternoon. Besides I didn't see the ad until Sunday afternoon and have no idea how the ride went or how big it was.  On our Sunday ride Lon had to leave early to go to work. I won't name names but the South African R6 rider had his bike stolen (and the red 2008 CBR1000R was also stolen) and was on a borrowed S4Rs. The cops busted a paint/body shop in Waipahu run by two Vietnamese brothers and found 32 stolen bikes & parts & automatic weapons. See what happens when you leave.  [laugh]

HOLY SHIT!!

I knew the ride was on the day before, but wasn't sure if anyone had known, or gone, to it.

Found a nice little gem.  Teddy, might you rather have this than a 999?  ;)

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1223849466.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1223849466.html)

that's been FS for a while... and I do like Urals...

 :D I could sell the car and use that as my daily ride!  :D

Just pop the queen in the sidecar with some tiny goggles.  [thumbsup]

yes!!

That would SO rock!

of course, it doesn't matter what you proles think  ;)


I will need to find kitteh sized goggles, to see if it gains approval from her majesty

My guy with the 999 is getting antsy to sell. Says he needs dough. Wally & I might go down Sat. to have a good look at this thing.

Now that is one hell of a happy cat!!  ;)


You mean your old one? 

LOL


have fun! I'm broke, so...

No you're not.  :P

really?

SWEEET!!!!


did a rich, obscure relative die abroad and leave me his inheritence?



did I meet nigerian royalty?




win some uber lotto in england?

I vote for Nigerian relative wins British uber-lotto and dies, leaving it all to you. 

and your moto-buddies.

something like that.

in any case, I'm all set, then! if you moto-buddies could just cash this check for me....

My goldline master cylinders, with black CRG levers, will be for sale soon. You still interested Jebus?

yeah, probably... these durn coffins just don't fit on the clip-ons proper like.

Cool.  I can let you have them for the low low price of umpteen gajillion dollars.  And if you call in the next five minutes, because we can't do this all day, I will even throw in a bucket of used cat litter!   :o

I still have an ample supply of the used kitty litter, thanks though.  We have a manufacturer on site.

Yea, but this would be "imported".  ;)

Teddy, sell a kidney and buy this bike!  :D

he still hasn't sold it?

that's the bike I was thinking about a while back... dude parks at 24hr fitness from time to time

That's what I figured.  He would probably be willing to let it go at a better price by now.   8)

yeah, he's still listing for the same price, too...

doesn't much matter to me, anyway

Saw this tasty looking specimen.

Think it's kind of funny that he listed out the price of every mod.  Might give him a call though and go take a look at it.

Rick, isn't this the same bike that pulled up across the street from your shop the other week?

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1318867824.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1318867824.html)

if that's anything like pierogi, sign me up! I'm hungry!

If by parts you mean fancy, undamaged, 1000cc engine, then heck yeah!

Maui's KTM dealer has a brand new '08 990 SD that they are asking just under $10K for it!   :o

Wow!...when I looked at the one at Domenico's before I bought the SF, it was invoice plus tax out the door...that worked out to about $12.8K and included a factory incentive of $1500 worth of goodies...MSRP was a little over $14K IIRC...the deal killer for me was no test ride.

Just got off the phone with Cycle City down on Nimitz.  Turns out they have one of the Super Dukes from the Maui store down there, and will allow test rides.  They also have a 950 Super Moto... 

I may check it out tomorrow or thursday, for the hell of it...

Well, the lied about the Super Duke.  I know because I just got back from there.  Might go test ride the 950SM this weekend though.  ;)

a motor vehicle dealership lied to you?...say it ain't so... :(

Might have a buyer on the Daytona. 

 [popcorn]  I thought that was already pre-arranged.

Two people had told me that they wanted it, if and when it went up for sale, but I have not been able to get in touch with them over the last three days.  I put the bike up on CL last night and got a hit from a guy that wanted to come see it right then; he even went so far to say in the email that he had cash in hand.  lol

At the end of the day, the sale depends on how I feel about that KTM...

Found two left over '08 Super Dukes (one black and one orange) at a dealer in LA.  They quoted me a price of $8499 out the door stock, or $10,700 out the door with the full Akro evo system and associated map.  Even offered to truck it down to the pier in San Diego for me if I wanted them to.  ;)

Wow, not a very popular bike, the SD...kind of like a hot chick with really bad halitosis...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1433403026.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1433403026.html)

If memory serves correct, that is the one that came in from Texas.  If it is, Will told me it was run ragged and to stay away from it.

Gee, and a swell deal at only $17K.  [laugh] [laugh]

Anyone know of any cheap(ish) practical cars (read wagon) or small sport utes for sale?

I presume the FJ doesn't qualify...

No, not really.  That would be a bit much to take either to DC or back to Germany.

oooftah.

Musical Ducati's these days.

Now there's Brandon's 848, Milan's 1098, Teddy's 620/750 and the girl's (Samantha) 620 Multi Dark all for sale. Who's going to what bike now? There was Brandon yesterday and he didn't say a word.

maybe I'll buy me a gixxer so I can hang out with my new neighbor

and really, how can my one year older monster be worth less than that dark multi?

I are confoosled.


meh.

Hmmm... Rick, might want to bring this down to you some time and let you take a look at it.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1429339496.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1429339496.html)

Ah, yes, a good practical east coast car.

SHOOSH! 

It's more practical than the Honda, and probably just as fun too. 

I thought you said it was a convertible?

This is a different one.  Just saw it. 

And http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1460740593.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1460740593.html)
 
:o

now that's hot

Hell yes it is!  I have always wanted a ride like that.  Too bad I am no where near a position to be able to get one.

can't get 12k for the honda?

Yes I can.  Had someone offer $23K for it the other day.  Just that a Ghia is far from the sort of car that I should be looking at as a replacement. 

so get the ghia and a 2k beater truck.

done and done!

Nope.  If I get rid of the two vehicles I have now it will be to streamline into one car.  So it is either a new(ish) Jeep like thing, a new GTI or maybe a tasty BMW.

GTI

That is the most likely candidate. 

 :)


I do miss mine...

I can't really say the same as I still have my Mk IV.  But one thing is for sure, the Mk IV did not handle as good as it could have. The Mk V was a huge step forward in that department and everyone seems to agree that the Mk VI is even further in that same direction.  Plus it sure looks better than the Mk V, both inside and out.

One other bennie is that turbo motors are cheaper to mod, and get stupid power out of.  I just wish VW/NA would say whether or not they are going to bring the R-20 here to the states.  I would be a bit cross if I went out and bought a new GTI just to have the awd, and more powerful, R-20 come here a year later... 

And then there is that M3.   [bow_down]

that's only because you (like me) have the VR6. nose-heavy w/that torsion bar rear doesn't make for terribly happy cornering... the 1.8t mkIV could certainly corner a lil'better, as well as making stupid amounts of power (hello APR st.3+)

mkVI is out already??

and sheesh, you're making like an R32 would handle like pooh.

Dude, have you gotten a look at the new Mk VI body?  There are three of them at Tony right now.  They look SWEET!

http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/article_2660.shtml (http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/article_2660.shtml)

aw, jeez.

y'know, the pre-pro scirocco shots were near enough to sway me back to VAG

that's much better looking than the mkV  :-\

Hell yes it is!  The interior is MUCH nicer as well.  One thing I always hated about the Mk V was the shape/ergos of the steering wheel.  The wheel on the Mk VI is really nice.  Plus, the dash looks much better and the door panels are nice as well.  Over all it really seems like a winner.

well, there ya go  :)

Not to start a hater thread here, but meh.  The interior is nice, but i'm not blown away by the body.  Maybe it looks better in person.

key pt is that it's better than the V. everything went downhill after mkIV, as far as the exterior

This is true.  I still really like the shape of my Mk IV.  I just wish it wasn't getting so long in the tooth.  It's been a great car, but it has over 110k miles on it now and I can only imagine the infamous little VW electrical quirks are on their way to visit me.


I've had mixed feelings about the R32, especially the Mk V models.  They sure sound the business, but you are dealing with the design/ergos that I don't like, the fact that the engine is a good bit thirstier than the VR6 that I already have as well as the fact that they were only available with that silly flappy DSG slush-box. 

There is an '08 R32 down at Cutter VW that I took for a spin the other day.  It only has like 1300 or so miles on it (it was a manufacturer's buy back car due to the faulty fuel hose design), is in great shape but they are still wanting like $35k for it. 

I don't think the DSG really qualifies as a slush-box...

sure, it's automatic n'all, but it's hardly the tiptronic

No, but there is still a very noticeable delay between shifts, both up and down.  Call me crazy (not like you haven't already) but I want the car to shift at the moment I tell it to, not half a second later or when it decides I would be better off in a different gear.

Ok, both of the M3s that I was looking into turned out to be multi (and by that I mean more than three already) owner cars. 

bummer, the E46 M3 is a nice car...

I know.  I was pretty excited at the idea of one.  Plus, the E46 is IMO the best looking 3 series by far!

so pretty if only it was road-legal...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1461455649.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1461455649.html)

Why is it not street legal?  it gots the usual lights and stuff... is it the 2-strokityness?

yep. AFAIK the 50 is the only one you could reg here

Did you notice how the rear brake pedal has a rubber band slung from the frame?  As in, no spring loaded brake return provision on this set up?  Also, it kind of looks like the piston is being driven into the master cylinder at a bit of an odd angle. That might be due to the way that individual bike is set up, but not really something I would be interested in having on my personal bike...

Doesn't the spring tension from the caliper take care of that?   I kinda figured the rubber band was there because it was only a temporary bolt-up for pics.

but if the weight of the lever is enough to keep the plunger in contact on the MC, wouldn't that be a bad thing?

I was the highest bidder when he posted it as a bid yesterday... but apparently this was his reserve...got a second chance offer with this:

it's yours if you want it!

What the F....it is probably made from unobtainium...or adamantium...or maybe it's powered by Nicky Hayden himself as he pushes the bike from behind!

Rich is trying to sell his 848 again.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1536257012.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/1536257012.html)

Buy it now price of $27000??!!   :o :o  

What is this guy smoking?  Especially when you can get a brand new 1198S, with Termis, for under that price.  Kind of funny how he says they are all sold out, even though SS has a few left in the crate...  

He says "I consider myself very reliable" and he's selling it because "this is what I do".  Hey, if he can sucker somebody into paying 27k for that, then good for him.  I assume that's what he means by the "This is what I do" deal.  twat.

maybe it's a typo.

or that's the cost of the bike, shipped, 2nd day air via UPS lol


yeah, that was kinda funny

I really like this one actually - any opinions? Good seller? Good deal?

Darkwing knows the guy better than I do. Not a bad bike at all, depending on how he had the paintwork done. The bike is definitely not abused. May PM you on it.

Yea, I have (sort of) known Rich for a couple of years, and he works in the same building as I do.  I know he doesn't ride the bike all that much, and goes really easy on it when he does ride it.  One thing to keep in mind though, it has been down before, and it suffered some damage (mostly cosmetic) to the left side.  The trans also got stuck in second gear when it went down as well.  Just wanted to make sure that you know the gouge on the bike before you put an offer on it, assuming that you do...

You think maybe 12K considering the extended warranty and all? The left side damage was very low speed wasn't it? Like barely above parking lot speed?

Thanks for the heads up Darkwing - i think 13.5 is high but yea, 12 is more reasonable - the coverage is nice to have, but i wonder what the warranty would do about the bike having been downed before...

sucks really, i keep finding great bikes but theyve all be low speed downed on one or another side... i'd like to get a clean bike without having to get a new one... I'm still curious about the hypermotard 796 - i dont think there are any in stock yet, but i want one, and i suck at waiting haha....

I don't think the low speed down will affect the warranty in any way. You could check with Will on that one but in this case it's all very minor. Gives you some leverage but in actual fact this bike wasn't hurt bad at all.

All of the cosmetic damage on that bike was fixed, and it looks pretty good in person; if you can get past the fact that he tried to make it look like a 1098R.  And Mac is right, the bike was going very slow through a round-a-bout when it went down.  I cannot imagine that the extended warranty would be put into jeopardy at all by the that.

it looks like ive got a few more leads to follow...

That 748 sure is sweet, and is at a really good price.  But if it was my money, I would have already bought that 848.

Oh yea, they apparently have the HM796 down at SS.

Tesh, here's your chance!!  This bike is sweet!!!

Hell yes it is!!

awww man - that was a nice one; i'm still a fan of the squint eye style (ala 748... )

it looks like i might keep the DRZ... working in construction doesnt leave me with the best places to ride (or park for that matter...) half of my sites are off-road or in red dirt... that's teh last thing i want on a beautiful duc...

had heard about it, either low side or dropped it in traffic right outside of schofield.

Yea, what's up with that?

maybe someone snapped it up!...

i think it's cached in mine.

Good going Anne! Looks like it's a bit rashed on the rear cans, the seat cowl, right mirror and maybe a bit more that we can't see well enough. It either got grabbed up or the seller had a change of heart. Too bad that it was dropped at such low mileage.

looks like the new hayden owner popped up.

anyone in the market for a shock? too bad i'm not that heavy  [roll]

Make a lower bid and then buy the proper spring. You never know......

And, just so you know, a spring runs about $100.00 give or take a bit.....

Eat more cake?   ???

Oh, I almost completely forgot.  That is the spring setting for the rear shock on my 848 and you are more than welcome to try it and see what you think. I still owe you the favor of a return test ride.  [thumbsup]

That's good advice... I'd take it!

Especially with all the wonderful cakely things that Mrs Jebus makes...   [thumbsup]

i'm half tempted to get it and trade out the springs. esp if i do the swing arm, that would be the perfect time to get everything in and out.

DO IT ANNE!!!  You have no idea how much better that bike would handle...   [thumbsup]

You mean it's still available?  No one has jumped on it?  Strike while the iron is hot!

i can't believe it either, but it's not that TTX.  and there's a guy selling a swing arm for 300. all the money i'm saving for a 1911 is gonna go to parts.

DOH~

Money?  Save?  Silly girl...   ;)

Yep, the TTX is a lot sexier for sure and easier to adjust rebound because you don't have to get through that hole in the swingarm. That said the TTX lends itself to track use where you might be riding on different tracks all the time and want to have the easier adjustment access. For street riding once you get the DU515 dialed in where you want it you almost never have to mess with it again. That was my rationalization anyway. Theoretically that left me with more money for other mods but I'm still trying to figure out where that money is........

Gloria have some new shoes?  ;)

No, but she is getting $1,000.00 worth of new upper control arms for the SL this weekend. Thank God that's coming out of her pocket this time.

yep, idk what i was thinking when i invited justin lol.

it was like a perfect storm

Not to mention the friend on the KTM RC8 that had to go with them. Are we thinking about the same ride?  It was entertaining.

I think that RC8 is no more...  Too many beers to remember exactly, but I think he either sold it or binned up.  Better than even money on the latter...

Are you the one selling the black windscreen, and the carbon front fender for the 848 on CL also?

I'm sure you can trust him.   ;)

That's me but the fender is gone. Windscreen and Pazzo levers are still available.

So what's up with the fender and screen?  What's the bike looking like now?

The bike looks the same. These are parts, in new condition, that I took off the bike when I first got it. I just never got around to selling them until now.

the current owner bought it at the beginning of sept, so i'm not sure why he's selling is so quickly. on another forum he says the wife wants to ride w/ him. just seems weird to sell it after a month and half.

Those are on my watch list but nothing is going to happen real soon. The 620 has to go first. I need to find out which, if any, suspension pieces swap out from superbikes to the Streetfighter and then the 848 would have to sell. No extra money can be added into the deal so all monies received from the sales plus all the old, spare parts sales has to cover the next bike, if there is a next bike.  Hypermotard S's aren't out of the picture either but so far I prefer the handling and the power of the Streetfighter over the motard.

I shouda never let you ride the SF... ;D

Damn Rick, you're almost as bad as I am...

As if that was possible  [cheeky]

I understand the desire, but for my tinkering around the monster still suits me fine.  Besides, the wiff lets me get away with almost anything, but a bike upgrade is pretty much impossible.

I don't want to insult Streetfighter owners but I consider this a lateral move and not an upgrade. Like I said, nothing is going to happen fast, if it even happens at all.

No offense taken here...I wouldn't consider a move to the SF an upgrade either, just a few more grins per mile... ;D

The BMW guy can't/won't tell you exactly what he wants for it and no pictures.  [thumbsdown]

A 696, well ........... it's not even on the site anymore.

Of course lots of folks will have a field day with my post when I put the 848 up.  I'm thinking,  "why bother",  considering the investment already spent and even the upcoming service but you never know..........

so you decided to let the 848 go?

I am seriously considering it.  I have yet to figure out an asking price but I reckon it will be flexible depending on how many mods the buyer would like to retain. The overriding factor is that the price can't go too low. My friend with the Hyper S doesn't want to sell it for the average going price so that's out. The 848 + goodies would have to sell high enough to be able to move to a Streetfighter without incurring extra expense. Therein lies the rub. I wouldn't mind holding onto the 848 but I have some arthritis that's starting to show up and it affects the comfort a bit. Soooo we'll see. I can always post up on CL and see what happens.

whats the SF going for nowdays still 16k out the door?
and what kind of number would you be comfortable asking for the 848?

put it on craigslist just to see what happens

I just tried setting up an ad but something didn't work or CL is taking it's time putting it up.

I'd be very happy with a good used Streetfigher so a new one isn't the main plan. I'm going to ask 15K/offer for the 848 and then wait.

Here's hoping you'll get some positive action...according to Bill at SSD, they have a waiting list for 848s...

Something didn't work.... The ad was all set and I plugged in a special security code from CL -- poof! Ad all gone  >:(  I'll try again tonight.  Who knows, maybe the timing is right or maybe not?

Maybe you can talk to the "other" SF owner whom we know for sure had it for sale a while ago? At least you know it is not punished at all  ;)  If we have the monthly cruise...

Looks like fate's way of saying no to the street-fighter.   [evil]

I think that was fate's way of saying that I'm a dumb ass.  [laugh]

It should be working now and, hopefully, with photos that pop right up in the ad without having to click on them.  The editing hasn't kicked in yet but maybe by the time anyone reads this it will.

You know it would work much better back there in DC/MD/VA   [moto]

Yes I do.  I can't be looking at buying another Ducati though, not unless it comes with an alloy tank.  Would seem kind of strange with me doing that, seeing how I am one of the named plaintiffs in Izaak's class action.  :P

No serious bites yet. I wonder why?  [laugh]  If this keeps up I'll be forced to put an Ohlins damper on it.  [moto]

Brandon says "That bike is made to ride, not to sell!"

I've given thought to getting an aluminum tank for it but I'd need a pretty hefty Christmas bonus to do that. Then again there's a certain 560SL transmission that needs an overhaul.   :-\

people are talking about it, i keep telling everyone that it is in great shape.  2000 service people just got back, keep it up there/derby.

we should just trade then you could just sell my bike  ;D

Thanks for the kind words!

NOT!    ;D

Go for it!...and then join us for an occasional Sunday ride... ;D

If you've even given half a thought to it then you should check it out. Seriously. I doubt that you'd find another bike like this in this condition. I have some Ducati Performance Remus carbon cans that should fit on it. Very reasonably priced.  [evil]

I'm attempting to discuss it with the wiff.  It falls quite a ways outside the "straight trade" category of pricing, so it is unlikely.  But I gots to try, eh?

The bike is already sold!

The former owner / seller is in the shop today with their MiniCooper and told me that someone bought it 40 minutes after it was posted. Guy paid $7k cash no questions, no negotiating.

Guess you have to move pretty fast when a good one comes along.   [moto]   I'm bummed a bit because he didn't call me first like I asked him to do when I first saw it and they said they might sell it one day.  Gave him a little bit of a hard time but then I didn't have 7k spare change anyway.  [roll]  ;D

Let me see what I can do.  You want to look at it for me?  Give it a home until I can get it shipped?

I can if you want me to.  I am in the process of negotiating some enclosed garage space for the bikes so they're not sitting out in "open" garage I've got them in now.  If that happens there'll be more than enough room, and I should be able to get it on a 'tender as well.  Just let me know.

looks like a nice example...

Already on my watch list...... only just for the fun of it though.

That is pretty impressive.

Lars thinks so too.  We might drive up to take a look at it.

Someone has to buy my bike.

I'll give you ten dollars for it.

 ;D

Ass.

"

Someone got a screaming deal on a 2010 1198...it was posted up on Craig's List yesterday for $7,000, with like 1500 miles, first service complete, warranty, and a new set of Pures...guy was deploying and needed a quick sale... :o

make the beast with two backs i would have tapped into my TCD for that [bang] [bang] [bang] i never see the good stuff in time

Easy now. The ad was up and now it's gone. We were talking about that ad today. Don't know if it was legit or not. The guy would have taken an 8 to 10,000 $ hit. Not too many deals like that come up. It may not have been real.

makes sense...

Another scam?...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2143523454.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2143523454.html)

I, for one, sure didn't hit the "click here for more information" link.   [laugh]

What was it?

2006 749 SBK 1400 MILES lots of carbon parts with a new ignition and computer box all for $2,950.00 bucks

Leftover KTM SD on Maui...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/mau/mcd/2159030968.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/mau/mcd/2159030968.html)

I had a guy call up Sunday night and chatted me up for 10 mins or so on the 848. He says he's ridden dirt bikes and cruisers for 10 years and thinks he wants a sportbike. I don't know if he's ready for this bike. Says he'll think about it and talk to the wife. Wants to do something in the next couple of months.        Months.         To hell with that.         It'll cost him more by then.   [laugh]  

Not that bad of a deal, but you can find them for less.  Those are the same guys that I was looking at buying the left over '07 SM from.  They wanted ridiculous money for that thing.  I even told them that I was looking at the SD for MUCH cheaper in California, but they still wouldn't budge on the price (they had it marked at $11000).  We all know how that one worked out.  ;)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-Yamaha-R7-OW-02-R1-YZF-R6-70-Miles-Crate-/220728693323?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item336474924b (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-Yamaha-R7-OW-02-R1-YZF-R6-70-Miles-Crate-/220728693323?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item336474924b)

They're up to 24.5K with 7 hours left to go and the reserve hasn't been met yet.  Pretty cool bike for sure.  Had to google it to find out all about it. Another one of those "if I only had the spare cash laying around" deals.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2208363221.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2208363221.html)

Just threw it out there... ;D

anyone interested in a Sport Classic...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2218590885.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2218590885.html)

how about a very low mileage 1198S...

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2218590885.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2218590885.html)

only if its yellow with CF rims and had a custom plate that reminds me of a favorite childhood cartoon  [thumbsup]

Unless there's something special about that SC he might be a bit on the high side.  I know, I should talk, but at least mine's got some bling.

Might?  Dude was hitting the pipe pretty hard before he priced that one.  Mine has quite a few more miles than that, but I would probably let it go for not much more than he's asking...

Someone should take you up on that before you start having second thoughts.

It's an unadvertised special.

Where Was that special when you were on island? Lol

Don't tease. It could still be yours if you really want it.  ;D  For real.   [moto]

"none around this clean" and "one-of-a-kind bike" seems kinda contradictory.  If it's unique, of course there are none around that clean - there should be none around at all! 

But I'm picky  ;D

You can't go selling your second bike before I get to MD - I'm probably looking to offload the Monster before I leave here, and who else has a loaner bike that I know out there?  [laugh]

lol  Don't think you'd be happy on that bike.  It's VERY different feeling from when you rode it that time...

It wasn't what I would have called "cozy" back then.

It's back.........

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2225767906.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2225767906.html)

Does that bike have a history here? 

That's the one where I know the original owners and it was sold in 45 minutes from when it was first posted. At that time, just a couple of months ago, or so, it was near perfect. That's the one you were waffling on.   [laugh] [laugh]

i wonder why he is selling it so soon?
maybe another one of those guys that likes the idea of riding a duc but after the novelty wears off he realized he is more of a harley kind of guy

Wow, I'm really on a roll here, aren't I?  [thumbsup]

HA!!!

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2226903813.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2226903813.html)

That's the Matt Fox bike that I tried to buy from South Seas back in the day.

Seems kinda pricey, how much were they asking for it then?...

"One of a kind"   [laugh]   [laugh]   [laugh]   [laugh]   [laugh]   [laugh]   [laugh]   [laugh]

You did so much better with the one you bought that this is totally laughable.

They never could figure that out. I was quoted $10K on three separate occasions, but they never would even talk about actually selling it when I went to throw money on the table; thought they'd be able to sell it on eBay and make a killing from who used to own it.   [laugh]

Needless to say, the bike sat there for a very long time in the back of their warehouse.

Dude used exactly the same line as the other SC from a few days ago:

"This link will tell you all you need to know about how this design came about and what is special about this one-of-a-kind bike"

Whutta doosh.

So what's supposed to be so special about this particular motorbike?

The original owner is a B-rated celeb.

Is that the dude from lost?

If it wasn't a Steve McQueen bike then who gives a rat's ass... ;D

Apparently only the guy who bought it in the first place, or would that be in the second place? He's probably finding that out right now.    [laugh]

Check this out. Http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2231583563.html (http://Http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2231583563.html)

Wow.  That thing is pretty crazy.  Looks like nice work.

What model is it based on?

[edit]

oh wait - probably  900, huh?  duh.....

[/edit]

The link is not working for me. If that is the Pearl White one with the single sided swing arm isn't it a bit of a stretch to call it a 2008?

944 motor with hi comp, the bike was made by Norm And Jeff Brown in 2008 (frame and all). therefore 2008

and it still is NICE but now it can use a little TLC ... that's why its only asking 5k.
Its got a ALU. clutch basket W/new friction plates.
28mm slave cylinder. Etc, etc, etc...

Copy and paste the link, then take out the extra http:
Or just try this: http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2231583563.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2231583563.html)

And yes, it is the pearl white, and it is pretty.  I am....curious.  ;D

that's not news

Howdy stranger. Haven't seen you around these parts in a dogs age. How be it?

Is Obie back in town and selling his bike?

Not sure if that add sounds like him. I'll send him an SMS and find out though.

The tone of the ad doesn't sound like him but I think that's the MV he has. Good on the message part. I was going to do the same thing but the ball is in your court.

It is his bike.  Oddly enough, he said he really doesn't think he'll sell it.   [roll]

Gee, I wonder where I've heard that before......................  [cheeky]

I have no idea what you're talking about...   ;D

It's a bike.

It's a Duke.   [thumbsup]

If I want a Katoom like that I can get Fred's bike. You remember Fred's racer/street modified don't you?

Is that the total loss one that you mentioned before, or is he one of the guys that used to hang out at Varsity?  If it was the total loss bike, I never actually saw it.

It's the total loss system one with the token lights. One of the very last, if not actually the last, bike to make it through conversion to street before the DMV cracked down hard on that action. It is full on race motard through and through and I'm going to get to take it around some of our favorite places soon, maybe. Fred has an up and coming mainland touring adventure on a Gixxer 750. He and some buddies are riding modified superbikes all across the country.

 [thumbsup]

Strap an extra mag-light onto the bars just in case.

robert is selling his white streetfighter

I didn't see it listed this morning. I'll have a second look.

not sure if it is on craigslist

Ebay then? How many miles? How much? Contact #? Is he serious?

i left the info in my box.
i will get the info up soon

Looks like Rich's old red 848 is up for sale again. ( I sold this guy the black rear sets he describes)

makes me wonder what mine is worth since its all stock and has 17000 miles on  :'(
i guess at this point just sentimental value. good thing i plan on keeping it

Yep. Me too and likely Gene as well. Good thing that our bikes are pretty cool.

Nah, yours sucks and you should replace it with a KTM right away. Why don't you send it me? I'll do you a favor and get rid of it for you.   ;D

It would take the KTM plus CASH. Plus, this deal, as sweet as it would be, will only take you further away from a F4RR.

Now you've got me starting to lust after the RR. Dreams are what keep old men going.  [laugh] [laugh]  If only I lots of spare dough.  [laugh]

The RR is a fantasy.  And even if it becomes a fantasy realized, it is still FAR more bike that I can use around here.  There is just something that draws me in for that bike, almost like an addiction...

Your 848 would actually be the perfect bike for the roads that I ride up here.

Hay guys...http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2425645563.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2425645563.html)

if your want a one of a kind Ducati.

so you would like some bodywork carbon 14?... for about $500 you can buy a set after you buy the bike. but personally I love Naked bikes. as alot of other people do to given the Monster cult fallowing. 

So if you do a trade don't you still end with the same number of bikes and no extra cash for the baby expenses?  Just wondering.....................

Be nice to CANES' bike!

Snap!

It has headlights. Or what is trying to pass for headlights. They are small and I don't know that they would pass for legal in Hawaii. Not in my Inspection Station anyway. I'll stop right there.

Whatever... I like it! I made it! I raced it!

you criticized it. (what else you got?)

Ya know its this type of BS that makes me wana give up going for rides with some people. Like people who assume things.

 1) like when someone assumed I didn't have enough gas to complete a ride.
 2) like when someone assumes my race bike is made up of cashed parts.


the crack category. ok what a dick hole thing to say.

Some of you people are some real jerk offs! You all can go on with your Ducati party with out me.
ps anyone who feels like talking shit about my bike  is going down the wrong road.

HOW MANNY OF YOU HAVE HAD THE HEAD OF DUCATI COME DOWN TO TAKE A PHOTO ON THERE CUSTOM BIKE THEY BUILT. AND WON 1ST IN SHOW WITH!!!  (go ahead Ill wate) jerks

MadDuc and Carbon14... Ill bring you guys some HATEORADE and maby that keep your mouth shut for awhile

For starters, how about a decent grasp of the English language?

As for the rest of your post: settle it down.

sorry about that ... where are my manners.

Please watch this clip. It sums it up better then I ever could.

Love ya ;)

Removed your video as there's no point baiting for a response to it.

so now you have no scene of hummer.  On top of the fact you seam to let the peanut gallery go on heckling me and my bike But now you got the gull to edit me. when I defend myself.  you all are tripping and Have your priority all wrong side up.

Ya I know I cant spell. im humble about this

I know bikes ... someone says something stupid Im gonna correct them.

If you took any of my statements as being hateful then I'm sorry that you misunderstood the intent. I'll not get into any reciprocal bashing.

I'm not exactly a newbie when it comes to working on motorcycles. I got started working in this business in 1970. That's also when I got licensed as a State Vehicle Inspector. Big whoopie do. However, I might also know a thing or two about what passes and what doesn't. Your bike would be pushing it. It might be able to pass, might not. To my eye, more likely the latter. There are specs that would have to be satisfied. That bike also needs a Reconstruction Permit to be legal here.  That's not hate. That's fact. Other than that I've not said one bad word about it. If you think otherwise then you must have some awful thin skin but there I go again assuming something.  [roll]

Whatever Jeff.  Don't let me rain on your parade. Over & out.

Some folk know you have a good history in building, but the craigslist reader will not likely know that.   I would bet Carbon doesn't know that, and the pics don't sell it.  I would be happy to take some good photos of it if you'd like (free), but that still won't tell the whole story.  maybe link to the other builds? 

The guys here aren't generally malicious - it's unfortunate it got to this level.

How did this thread take a wrong turn & high side?!  Come on guys, we're a small family living on an island!  

Go figure.   [laugh]  Too bad, really, as things could have gone an entirely different direction. I don't know if it will ever be sorted out now. This could be hashed out later, I suppose, if anyone wanted to.

On a slightly different note, BME added this one to it's stable today. I guess I get to be the prime pilot.

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2402658848.html (http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/2402658848.html)

The pictures don't do it justice.  And no, the selling price wasn't the asking price.  ;)

 [thumbsup]  [Dolph]  [thumbsup]

Cool, another neat beemer for BME...when ya gonna ride that thing?

Maybe next week. Gotta get the title/registration transfer done and the insurance switched from the Boxer Cup Edition to the new one.

Looks like Bosski has decided to grow the collection.  Has he started riding much at all yet?  What's been happening with the Cup?

Congrats on the new toy.

It's been parked inside the waiting room since September apart from one Saturday where I fixed the brake lights (changed a bulb) and took it down for a Safety Inspection.

He rode the red one around the parking lot today so we know he can at least touch the ground while riding. The former owner is shorter than he is so it should be no problem. He's looking forward to going out for some rides but that won't be until September when he gets back from three different trips.  I've already put Gloria on notice that she will have to break out her red jacket and helmet. Told her that she will like it better than the Harley and the old Monster.   ;D [evil]

Trey should buy those from you.  If not, keep them and I know a few people up here that would probably take them.

Too late - already sold.  I knew they were priced well, but wowsers.

 [thumbsup]

What forks did we install a few years ago?  Superbike forks?

Think so. Weren't they the red topped ones from a 996?

They have red and blue adjusters - one pair was from a multi or some such, the other set was from a 9xx.  I think I installed the 9xx forks because they were longer and I wanted to be able to put the clip ons above the top triple.  Or something like that. ???

So you might not make this weekend's Monthly Ducati Ride?... :(

I bet he will if Rick puts him on the Hyper.   [evil]

What if the M750 hasn't sold by next weekend?

All these what ifs...

I've only done 1 monthly Ducati ride, a few years ago, and it was really too big an event for me.  Traffic, heat, slowness, heat, and traffic all combined to be generally unpleasant.  Wasn't as bad as the big ride from Kaka'ako park a while back, but still not my bag.

Has it gotten better?

Of course it has.  I'm not there to muck it up anymore.   :D

You dirty mucker.

Yes! Ben's absence has been a big plus!  Just kidding

I find the ride less entertaining without his presence...he's so animated, especially when a cager spoils the run through a sweeper or set of curves... ;D

No reason you can't fill that role Gene.   :D

30 years ago I could, no problem...but these days I just chill, age has that effect on ya....

I feel it too but I'm getting itchy.  [Dolph]

Guy can't even spell CRG right.   [laugh]

And on a different note: Gene, do you still have the stock bars from your street fighter?

Nope...coincidentally, I sold them some time back to a guy who wanted them for his Super Duke R...

Imagine that.   ;D

First, thank you for that image.  I looked at the cat immediately and started contemplating.
Second, good point. When Teddy and I rented BMWs in California, he (on the 650) had more than a little trouble keeping up with me (on the 1200); even had some trouble passing.  hmmmmmmmmm....

Seeing how you're looking local; there was a Super Duke or two for sale up here not that long ago.

You never know what deals may present themselves when the time is right.

Meh.  I doubt the guy who worked on it knew what he was doing...
