Post up deals (both good and stupid) when you find them.

Here's one for the stupid category:

Brian, have you called this guy yet?

Love the "set the mood" with the bottle/glass because that is the ONLY reason that I would buy the bike! Sheesh.[drink]

On that second one is classy!

The first... Stay away from anyone who views bikes as investments. 

but it has so many extra's!!

I'd rock the hell out of that SC, if I didn't have one so similar already.

I need to talk to the guy who owns that 848, as he has a line on some really good dope.

oh c'mon...he probably paid full pop + from Speed's and doesn't have ANY of the stock parts to go along with it and so thinks he is entitled to the full asking amount even though it doesn't add up to anywhere near reality.....it isn't even sporting at that point to point out what a moron he is....it is more like shooting at fish in a barrel of water with a shotgun.

Or a high-powered taser.   [evil]

Zod, I love that bike. [drool]

I am also looking at the following - any opinions/insight?

I'd pass on the S2R, simply because it's an 800 and you wouldn't really notice all that much difference from what you have now.  So in essence, if you are wanting something "more", go with something more.

As far as the S4R goes...  Well, that's one hell of a bike for sure, and it's got some really nice bling on it.  One thing though, it's really close to needing the 6000 mile service and that is NOT cheap on the 4V motors.  Plus, that bike has a 996 spec motor I believe, and you have to watch out for flaking rockers...

Plus, didn't you say that you wanted something with a bit more aggressive ergos?  You could put clip-ons on either of the Monsters, but you'd still be dealing with the Monster's positioning... 

Now if you were completely open to something sidiculous, I'd take a look at:

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1825103270.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1825103270.html)

Does anyone actually know anyone with an S4R that has had flaking rockers?

I thought they worked out that problem ages ago.

Or maybe one of these...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1829295022.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1829295022.html)

One of the guys in Hawaii said his old one had issues, but I never personally saw it.

I do...this guy I know on an '05 Blue/White-striped S4R had 2 openers and 1 closer flake and decided to do them all with Megacycle rockers and while in their also did cams and a bunch of other work...of course...he could afford that and didn't think twice when he had it all done...

Word. Yep, yep... I am wanting a bit more power.


Hmmm... I'll get a quote for the service and see what the real cost will be for picking this bike up. I'll dig around about the rockers... Thanks for the heads-up.


Yes, after riding a few sportbikes, I prefer the position (but not the fairings [yuck]). I really love the look of Monsters - am thinking a 900-1100cc with clip-ons is in my future. Or a Sport 1000 with a few mods...

how a bout a trip to the light chrome-tastic?!?!!?

Doood - that's covered in RoadRacing unobtanium - There's their full production line on that bike it looks... the tank alone is probably worth a couple K

as much as I do realize that...it is the other compliments he has done that make it an eyesore...

I'm really glad I'm not the only one...   [roll]

I can't stand people to just add more and more *bling* to bikes in attempt to make them look better!

I think less is definitely more, especially in the case of a naked bike. I want to get rid of air boxes, canisters, fairings, half-fairings, skirts, anything un-necessary and just enjoy the look of the bike and  [moto]!!!

Hey Brian...FWIW...if you are inkling for a Monster with more ooomph...I know this bike and this owner and this thing is righteously sweet from a meticulous guy why doesn't shortchange on his machines...no BS on this one -> http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1831566812.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1831566812.html)

this isn't a bad looking deal...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1831783440.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1831783440.html)

Who's 1k is that? I think I recall... but not his name.

Closson's

Oh, I had it totally wrong then.

But yeah... if someone's looking this one would be worth it. It's been cared for.

Just emailed the seller. Thanks!

COUGH COUGH SPORT1000S COUGH COUGH...

YOU just want to steal the nose cone... don't trust him!

lol

No, it would take a lot of work to graft that thing onto my bike...

no it wouldn't...a clamp and a fairing stay and an hour or so of labor...I did something similar for my track Monster....though I had to have Donnie make the clamp at the time...

Actually, it would take several brackets and hours of fab work. The headlight and clocks would need to get relocated as well.  They have a Sport1000 out at Ducpond that was converted over to an S and they said it would take about twelve plus hours of time totalling about four grand. 

Aaaaand???? VW dealer says it would take 6K to fix everything on my car (1994 Golf)!!! That was one of the most hilarious conversations of my life, btw. Anyway, if you want it, do it yourself; but I would leave your Sport just the way it is!!!

I like the SC just the way it is, but I like the S bettererer...  I have only seen one yellow SC with the bubble fairing on it, and that was in either Denmark or Sweden (can't remember which anymore), and it looked really nice.  Plus, it would be nice to have a slight degree of wind protection on that thing.  I'm not looking to get the side panels or anything, as to me that takes away from the look of the bike.  I just like the bubble around the cockpit. 

Saw this today when I was posting the CB1 on the local Craigslist.

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1837556118.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1837556118.html)

There's also someone parting out a wrecked 2001 748.  Wonder if anything is compatible...

Brakes, rotors, sss wheels for sr bikes, tyres,screws, clutch cover for dry clutch, forks if you take the clamps too...

Not sure about the clamps (upper and lower triples) because Monster and Superbike have different steering geometries. I mean, the clamps would fit, but it would affect your ride.

Also, and this is just my personal opinion, but if I had a 620, I'd save my $$$ to buy something bigger instead on investing on it.

Oh yeah, I agree.  I'm just looking for a missing rear foot peg.  Because this bike replaced the former girlfriend, I'd like it capable for the possibility of future female conveyance.

Wind noise and I are gonna have to be known as the 620 Crew! [moto] I've got an 03 with a missing rear peg after my bridge joint debacle (and a bent gear shift lever). [bang] Picked mine up off craigslist as a first bike a couple months ago and have been loving it ever since. ;D I'll probably ride it this year and start thinking about an upgrade next spring. [drool]

Err - ew. Mismatched tank and other body work... hmm fishy fishy. Also, Arrow doesn't make a titanium AND CF in one exhaust. They make both... but as two separate part numbers.

For you foot pegs - any proper side foot peg from a DSS monster - any DSS monster will work for you. There's also some after market ones from Oberon if you want some bling. Just make sure, if it hasn't already happened, you don't loose the little spring and ball bearing detent set-up for the passenger peg. They love to go shooting across the 8th dimension

Now you tell me! I moved a rear one forward so I could keep riding without knowing about the balls (there's 2 of them)/spring setup. Flew out, rolled across the garage concrete and made a hole-in-one in some kind of construction hole that is a snug fit for the bearing and about 1/2 inch deep. [bang] Not worth busting up the floor for a $0.29 bearing. That spring on the front peg is a pregnant dog to get back on properly too!

Those prices are pretty good! I'm surprised to find someone beating the prices at Competition Accessories (http://www.compacc.com)!  [thumbsup] [thumbsup] for the find.

Interesting find: 2004 DUCATI ST3 (http://www.copart.com/c2/motorcycle_auction_search_results.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e1s5&lotId=14598990) with a PA certificate of salvage. Anyone ever heard of copart.com?

Once I get myself a proper garage, I'd like to buy one of these bikes and build myself a little toy.

Ideas on how easy/difficult it would be to buy a bike with a certificate of salvage and get her road legal again? I know people tend to buy salvage bikes and use them as track only bikes.

From a mechanical standpoint, I can probably manage by myself, but I'm completely ignorant about the legal hurdles.

well....MD certainly doesn't make it easy...once you are done rebuilding it to spec ( with all proper D.O.T. lights and everything installed and ready to pass MD state inspection) you have to haul it up to the MD State Police Barracks at the MVA in Glen Burnie for them to perform an inspection on the bike and then they do a title search to make sure of any variances and stuff like that and then they will let you know if they will clear it for to issue you a rebuilt stamped title...it will never read as a clear title though going through this process...and the insurance companies will get something from the MVA saying it is a branded title I think...which will affect your coverage...


now...FWIW...from what I've heard, you can get a salvage title converted to a clean title through the state of Tennessee....and then once you have a clean and clear TN title, you can title it anywhere as a regular vehicle...

Now that's one hell of a sentence!! 

<:: taking my bow ::> thank you very little!

 ;D

and as they say in Monty Python...


" and now for something completely different!"

hey Massimo...you want to trade your 750 for this? -> http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1858360936.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1858360936.html)

HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAA...it is soooo not what you are looking for...but it could work!..LOL

actually... I've always had a thing for small sports cars: lotus elise, MR2, old triumph spitfires and MG's, and most of all the Miata: fun, cheap and reliable.

But I'm not letting go of the 750 any time soon, the 900 is more likely to go before it!

You forgot the best of all those... 

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1859289646.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1859289646.html)

a little info

this is an early wheel for a Cagiva Alazzurra.  ducati used the same wheels on the Bevels and the Pantahs, but it is marked CAGIVA so probably one of the 84-85 early Alazzuras

They are not well regarded, i usually see them at swap meets for around $50, with tire and rotor.

Here you go Isaac.

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1860302184.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1860302184.html)

Or Brian, you wanted a SBK?

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1855574143.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/1855574143.html)

oooo that's nice.. high mount exhaust, color-matched vitaloni mirrors and custom seat too >>reaching for the Astrolube<<

but i doubt it's an SP

- missing the front CF fender
- has regular rotors not cast iron
- no SP plate
- coffin reservoirs
- wrong rear caliper


can't see the swingarm, but it looks like he upgraded it and the forks to SP type, as well as the fairings.

From what I can see, it's a 1995 CR.  Nicely done upgrades, but no plaque, no SP.

There you go, being all particular and such...   [roll]



  ;D

the differences are significant, the CR is a good bike all around, but the SP has much nicer components and is a limited edition.  i emailed the guy and asked about it, i don't think he was happy to find out that a real SP just sold on ebay for $2800.  prices for these bikes has plummeted...  :-[

Besides why drop 5k on an SP when you can get a Monster like this one (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1860303064.html) for the same money?

Some people might argue the mid-90's SS was one of the best looking bikes Ducati made.  Easily in the top 3 or 4.  Even rolling into 1998, they were still selling well and in 1999 when the Terblanche version came out, it dropped.  Not that the later model was horrible, it was good, but compared to the earlier one, it wasn't sufficient.

Power-wise, the SS got the better heads than the Monsters of the same year.  I am not sure about later years, but across the board, the SS had more hp for the same engine.

Plus, this is the bike that Hunter S Thompson wrote about. 

I know what you're talking about, I'm 100% with you on the styling and everything else: I love the perfect simplicity of the SS lines!

I'm not sure about the heads tho, I think it comes from the V vs the W heads that were mixed on the Monsters.

http://www.bikeboy.org/900equal.html (http://www.bikeboy.org/900equal.html)

I would :)  A '95 900 SS/SP was my first (modern) Ducati. A friend also had one (a CR) and we'd always hear from people how unreliable they were. The only problem I ever had (besides insureance payments) was that the gloss on the CF faded (a common prob across the range I believe). Oh, and I had a headlight connector melt. My friend got hit and tossed his down the road several times over the years and it kept on going.
I was sorely bummed when Ducati "upgraded" the bodywork.

Does anyone need a stereo rack?  It's got four glass shelves and is finished with brushed alloy...  I'll probably have a bunch of other things to get rid of as well.  Maybe an extra TV stand and a few chairs...

Here's something for you Isaac.

The SC's add isn't entirely accurate, buy you might be able to use that to your advantage...

Or if you don't want to spend you kid's college fund on a bike, here's two "more sensible"  [laugh] options:

I remember seeing the M900 on CL for quite a while, I had offered to trade my 748 for it but the guy wasn't interested. Anyway, it has a few interesting mods (Keihins!!!).

I have found so many CL gems, I can't look anymore. 

I found my 600ss in Philly and drove there with a trailer to get it.  It wasn't a good bargaining tactic, I realized, so I parked a few blocks away.  I managed to get him down, I was pleased.

Also found my 900FE on Fleabay.  also a good deal.

So when do we get to see some of these choice items in your stable?

when i have time to put them back together.

actually the 600 is nearing completion.  i rode it around yesterday in the neighborhood.  i ride the 900fe now and then for shits and giggles.  the fairings were cracked but the rest of the bike is in fine shape. 

I nabbed this one last Sunday. So completely stock it's scary. 8500 miles.

This one might require a bit of work from copart (http://www.copart.com/c2/motorcycle_auction_search_results.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e1s5&lotId=15029530&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS)

that'll buff right out...what are ya talkin about!...

Seriously?! It looks like it was crashed, then torched, then dumped in the ocean for 6 months. Is that a wiring harness, or sea grass?

Looks slightly more broken in than mine, but I'd ride it. [moto]

Judging by how well the owner takes care of his/her helmet...

Yea, I've seen it once before on CL. Pics are crappy, but it looks like a 750Sport (not SuperSport due to the single front disk brake).

Ads where people need stuff gone asap tend to concern me. On the other side, I wonder if he'll take 2k for it ;)

Found you a pair of adjustable forks on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ducati-750ss-900ss-851-888-Adjustable-Forks-/110567147924?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19be50c994) ;)

LET THE MODDING BEGIN!

I wouldn't go above $1500 if I were you.

Nice - except the leaking seals worry me. I have a line on another set that are in perfect condtion but cost more. Then again, I can just live with what I got (that's no fun)
Hmmmm...

All 3 bikes are tempting. You know, I've decided to keep my 696 and make it my own. I am, however, starting to shop a used dual sport/enduro. As much fun as I'm having with the roads around here, I'm really missing the dirt, dust, and mud. And, really, I need a 2nd bike.

A couple days ago, I shot a picture of my 620 with my new to me Termis to the guy I bought it from. Turns out he's having a little bit of a rough time right now with the economy and is selling all of his bikes (his descriptions below). I told him I'd pitch'em out on the board and pass along his info if any one is interested:

2000 Bimota DB4 with about 3700 miles on it. It has a Corse Ti system, flatslides, nichols 9oz flywheel, braided lines plus all stock parts. Service done 700 miles ago.

93 SS/ in pristine condition with a smidge over 17K miles; Corbin seat, DnD cans, Racetech suspension f and r , Teflon lines and has had services done 500 mi ago.

97 Bimota SB6r with 1400 miles on it in pristine and stock condition; the tires are original and quite hard, so would need replacing.

I've seen the 97 Bimota and it's absolutely beautiful. My half hour trip to pick up the 620 took about 2 hours as I drooled over it. Mike the service guy says my bike seems to have been taken great care of (despite the fact that I and the tech who changed my tires seem to be destroying it slowly). If anyone is interested, PM me for his info.

must .... not .... text... him...... must.... resist....

Might be interested in one of the Bimotas.  Can you shoot me his contact details?

PM sent

just a general curiousity...the flatsides...39's which were more common on those or the 41's that people upgraded with when they changed cams and started making those beasts breathe?

Sorry, Zooom. That's above my paygrade. I'll PM you his contact info.

Nah, there are three possible "replacements" if I were to sell the SD; either another Daytona, an RSV4R or a new F4.

overpriced and overrated...

Don't know so much about that. The MH is still a rare and wonderful bike to look at. However, it is more tortuous to ride than a certain someone's pumpkin SC.

I was wondering about handguards for my Cagiva because I wore my perfed gloves...so my hands and my knees were a bit chilled to say the least....

Ha! You guys just need a little more fat on ya! I suggest eating lots of  [bacon]!

there is an easy way to check any older SS for lowside damage--  the rod supports for the side fairings are attached to the frame on a THIN piece of metal.  This metal easily deforms if significant (>200lbs) is put on it.  That's the first thing I look at on one of these bikes.

If the bike is in otherwise perfect shape, I would say $3500 is about right, but it really depends on a lot.  The typical going price for an SP used to be $5000, for an FE $6000 and a regular SS was $4000.  I don't know how much the economy has affected things, but he's asking less than that for what looks like a regular black SS.

There was a handful of black 900SS's made in 94 or 95.  

Or you could just give us a little of yours, hmmm win-win!  :P

Saw these hand guards from Acerbis for the Monster from baja cycles

 (http://www.bajacycles.com/brands/acerbis/acerbis-dual-road-handguards.html)

I think Imma have to look into some of those....

He's relisted it to close just after another s2r ends which has a lot fewer miles and no reserve.

Hey Tocino, PM me if you want to sell me your s2r for high bid on this one plus a little that I would have paid for shipping? I'll even swap the chain out myself if it isn't done yet. Can't blame a guy for asking, can ya?

Lightly used (660ish miles) red '06 749 sitting down at the Triumph dealer in Clinton MD.  It was marked at $8K.

That 749 was pretty sweet.

sweet yes...but priced too High IMHO...another grand down would be SWEET!

Wouldn't surprise me if they went lower.  They also had a pair of S2R1000s out there, but IIRC they were priced about the same.  I'd take the 749 myself, if I was looking for something like that.

And in other news...  Anyone looking for a new exhaust kit?

1996 ducati supersport - $1300 on craigslist in philly (http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/1971284401.html)

oOOOOOooo...that has the Airtech Supermono fairing on it....

Wow $1300? Worth more if it were parted out (of course the problems may be simple, or may be bad, 30000 miles and leaking oil, hmmm)

???

either springs or bleed the clutch, I bet.
brake pads.. omg.. horrors.
sliders?
90% of oil leaks on this model come from the covers or the case split.

Sliders I assumed meant fork sliders

I read "won't engage" - meaning it won't stay in gear. I'd guess a smoked clutch or worse. If the master cyl is bad (or all the fluid leaked out) it'd engage but not disengage (so I'd guess it'd stall immediately after the chunk/lurch!)

There's a couple of things labeled Sept. 10th so either he did a batch of maint or a shop did. Either way a simple clutch prob would have been fixed. Probably they said "You need lots for a new clutch, basket, bearing and maybe even gearbox parts" and he/she said - off to CL

My guess is it's a beater that's been down the road a few times, but 1300$...

Another 900SS/SP

Looks good, but I'm confused by the lettering on the fairing side (hollow "Ducati"). I thought that was old style and by that point they'd switched to the "SuperSport DesmoDue" solid lettering. Sign of a crash in it's history?

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1997087022.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1997087022.html)

Prefer the hollow "DUCATI" to some of the writing on previous versions, maybe the owner feels the same ;)

I'm thinking of this Guzzi Griso tho: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2002625599.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2002625599.html)

Hmmm. '91 would be cool just because it's an early model, and the white frames are neat (although white wheels are a beyotch to keep looking nice), but no pictures and needs "a little tlc or tune up"? Sounds like 2000 worth of problems. Then again maybe talk him down to 1500? Winter's coming...

weren't 91-93 white frames subject to frame weld problems as well?

I'm pretty sure you're right. Plus a lot of other things were upgraded between then and 95 / 96. If I remember correctly, it was the late 80s / early 90s ones that gave the 900SS a bad rep.

For those jealous of the deal Massimo found on his 900... heres a 2001 900M for $2800.

$400 more but you get FCR carbs, bunch of nichols parts and other goodies. Plus I prefer carbs to fuel injection, but I'm a bit looney.  [cheeky]

In general I have to say tho, come fall there quite a lot of deals that surface up. I guess people don't want to have to deal with the hassle of storing bikes over winter. Not a problem for me tho, I ride! [moto]

No, the early SS models had the same frame as the SportNuovo and did not have the problems that I am aware of -- most of them were sold in Europe though -- and no one I talk to over there has mentioned it.

90% of the SS frames that have cracked were 1995 models.  the rest are 1996.

OK - not a bargain at 30K, but nice: http://www.bikeexif.com/ducati-supersport-custom (http://www.bikeexif.com/ducati-supersport-custom)

Very!!  That's the tank I need for the SC.

Heh, those are the bars and risers I need for the 900.

Meh, not for me. I do like how the engine seems magically suspended, though.

I'll take the forks and rear shock. ;D

Griso's are nice, but I think you'll find the front end to feel vague at best...was very weird feedback from that bike for me...

But look at it!!!  [drool]

Good to know the front would disappoint. That's actually one of the priorities in my next bike. Good adjustable suspension, lot's of torque, and easy to adjust/change the ergos.

drool worthy for sure...but the fact of the matter is that you still have the primitive technological architechture of a tractor ported into a moto chassis and it just doesn't lend itself to the confident level of spirited riding that most here have come to appreciate...

it is adjustable all right and has the ability to change certain ergonomics for sure...but the front end is still going to be vague at best...just how it is...

Ah, the ad is back up ;) Nice bike, and tempting! [evil]

I think the main thing that would require getting used to with a Guzzi is torque steer (not sure about the term), especially in turns. As you accelerate, the bike tends to lean right, and viceversa when you decelerate.

I'm starting to believe I need a duck for spirited riding and a goose for touring and winter (hmmm heated gear [drool])


Then you've already found the right one for you ;)

Griso???? I don't think they turn that well and if they had any power would be suitable for a drag bike.

Maybe a 1000SS or you can't go wrong with a Superduke.

Perhaps the Superduke fairy will wave the magic key!!

Superduke Fairy!

Did Walter sell his?

MetroDuc is parting out a 1994 900 SS if anyone needs parts (http://www.creative-gator.com/img/Ducati900SSSP/index.htm).

Took it with him. He's moved back there for a while, maybe for good.

No shit?  If you can, pm me with his contact details.  I might be out in west Texas in the spring, and would like to look him up if possible.

Don't get me wrong now 'cause you know I have a soft spot for the 999, and a "R" would be especially nice, but an 1198 is just as fast, if not faster, and it turns.  The 1198 SP would be just as much as that zero mile. Wouldn't have the carbon bling but it'd be friendlier to own.  Just sayin'.......  ;D

Shoosh you!! 

I'm sure the 1198 is faster than the R, and handles better out of the crate, but I bet that 999 could be set up to handle just as well with a little fiddling.  Also, the chassis on the 999 is SO much more comfy.

True dat.

I thought you were offering up your ninja skillz and an hour or two of your time!

:-)

Ya, I was drooling over this bike for a bit. Agree on the price; too high.

It'd take longer than that to prepare the situation... 


I don't know man.  As pointed out, there are some really high-zoot pieces on that bike.  Hell, the front caliper alone goes for about $1600.

Here you go Brian.  A little pricey, but maybe you can talk 'em down:

Posting a cheap price, then sending this to everyone who replied is a real douche move.

This is a mass email to everyone who emailed me I still have the bike I live in alexandria,va I do have a clean title and it has 33,000 miles. I have many offers for the bike so I will sell it to the highest bidder. But I'm also looking for someone who's near by that will pay cash, have means for moving the bike and will come get the bike within the next few days. So reply with your location, a final price offer, and when you can retrieve the motorcycle.Thank you, I will reply as soon as possible.

The top case is the reason why I'd buy this bike! How else will I get my daughter to daycare? [laugh]

You could always duct tape her to the handlebar for a little wind deflection.  [laugh]













Of course, I wouldn't want to be you when your wife finds out! If you try this, I'll watch. [popcorn]

That's just silly, didn't you read the add?  The bike already has the little bikini fairing installed.   ;D

The real reason to keep the top case is so you can load it full of rocks, and VIOLA!!  Instant wheelie assist.   [thumbsup]

nope...ham sandwiches, PB&J Gramwiches, and gatorade!

Street Triple isn't quite ham sandwich material.  Maybe a Speed Triple, but only in an R spec.

Not the best-looking bike by far (especially with the road rash), but 2K? If it's running seems pretty good to me.

That bike was on in the spring when I was getting ready to buy the 620. Never called the guy so I don't know anything else about it. Just remembered the photos and the rash.

Maybe not as a commuter tho  [cheeky]

I know this bike....very well...and the owner...and the seller...( the owner asked a mutual friend -the seller-to host his 3 bikes and sell them for him)...it is exactly as advertised....he also has a Repsol 07 CBR1000RR with a spare set of bodywork and Ohlins R&T suspension and a 1098 set up as an S+ with Ohlins R&T suspension as well as fat Termi system and a complete set of Xerox body work and magnesium wheels....



in other thoughts....my sister is selling her 97 BMW F650 Funduro with spare seat(the 1.5'' lower accessory one) and factory hard case panniers with factory heated grips and has just over 11K miles on it for $1500...it isn't a show queen, but is dead reliable and it was the bike she wanted before she knew what she wanted and now she has a Monster and is happy with it...if anyone knows anybody interested...lemmee know...it sits in my garage as we speak as I moved it inside a couple/few weeks ago before the cold snap...

Hey Pepe - here's an 850T3 in NY that's currently got a low bid. Original owner is selling. Toss that fairing.

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even comes with a sandwich bag. :o

damn...dude must need da cash for that price...

Judging by his other listing he's a dealer. This a 2008 model that is used, and it's taking up floor space so I'll bet they just want to move it and don't care for a profit at this point. Possibly a trade in that they want to get rid of?

You can probably get it for a bit less than he's asking.  I didn't pay much more than that for mine, and it had zero miles on it AND the Akra slip ons. 

Still though, take a trip to his shop and look at it.  If you like it, flash 8G cash in his face.  I'm sure the bike would be yours then.

Don't snooze.

 [laugh]  Thanks Rick!  I would get myself SO dead on that bike.  But I'm seriously looking at going back to just one moto, and as much as I would love to have it, a 999 would not make a good only bike for me, here with the roads we ride in Maryland.

999R would be an excellent addition to your current line-up.

It wouldn't be an addition, it would be a replacement. 

Just what else do those BST's fit?

Wow:

Not entirely sure.  I know the front would bolt right up to that 999, but not sure about the rear.

45 bids and sold for $15K.....

Yeah - on the site I saw the link from someone was like "What idiot would buy that for 15 large?"
Well, if it's an early sand-cast with all the orig stuff and unmolested, a bunch of folks. This is the bike that finally killed the British Bike industry, and changed perceptions of what Japan could do. The CBs have been getting really collectible, but this one is at the top of the list.
I know guys who bought Vincents in England during the 60s and 70s who paid prices that would make you cry (they were students and it was all they could really afford). When one guy paid for it, the owner told him he was being silly buying an old broken down bike.

That's nice, but nothing like what the RCS would do for the bike.

Hmmmmm... tempting. This should work on my 900SS and improve the braking considerably. Nice lever, but it does have road rash. Lars, you got dibs...

There's plenty of these on eBay, you can find one in better condition without diaper rash ;)

Just don't buy ANYTHING from Thailand since they make a crap load of counterfeit Brembo stuff.

From reading Chris Kelley's pages (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lNeF6E_qGO8J:www.ca-cycleworks.com/docs/10/products/mods/s2r-brake-upgrade.html+site:ca-cycleworks.com+nissin&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=ubuntu) (this one from google cache), I found out he uses Nissin masters as well. So since I couldn't find a decent Brembo radial master at the time I put a Nissin radial from a Jap liter bike (I think Kawasaki, but I'm not sure).

Here's a hint that might help you if you want to get a Nissin radial for less: don't search for one. ;)
Seriously tho, not all sellers know and understand the difference between radial masters and non; but those who do will charge more for a radial.
So just search for a master brake off a CBR 1000 (Kawasaki, or GSXR, etc) and look at the photos to see if it's radial or not. I can take a little longer, but it can save you a good deal of money. Worked for me  [thumbsup]

I think the Nissin would hit the fairing on the 900SS, plus this one is 100 bucks cheaper!

If you don't mind figuring out the charging problem (I'd guess bad alternator that he knows about but doesn't want to spend more $ on it) you might get a good deal.

That looks like a pretty sweet deal! The electric system on these bikes is not that complicated, and they're built to last... well everything but the wiring  ;D

My wife can't wait to see the parts leave the house ;D

The next big expences will be the engine, wheels and carbs. I'd like to get an 1100 off a Hyper since it's ready to fit the swingarm without any mods. And it will already make good power without dumping cash into it. On the other side, an older 900 engine would cost half as much and is easier to come by...

Time and money!

SPLADOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that the QuatD Xbox exhaust? I think MadDuc 20/20 was thinking about getting that at one point but wised up and got a Leo Vince like mine. 8)

Close, but no sigar. It's similar to the QuadD for the horizontal cylinder, but the vertical just goes under the tail.

I'll need to have the exhaust header for the vertical cylinder custom made to go around the shock.

You can see it better from these two photos:

Lets say one where to have purchased this from said Craigslist seller.  What would be needed to get it to work with a stock controls setup for a 05 S2R800?

Pee cup 'n hoes + brake switch, oh and a bracket for the cup.

Check ebay for the cup, just get one for cheap. Then make the bracket out of a sheet of aluminum (that what I did) [thumbsup]

where can I get one of those from.  Does Craigslist sell that as well?

yoyodyneti.com

Good deal if it's an actual Brembo piece, and not a knock-off.

plenty of those on fleabay (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/__?_from=R40&_trksid=p3841.m39.l1313&_nkw=ducati+brake+reservoir&_sacat=). just skip the ones from asia unless you want to wait 2 weeks for them to get here.

FRAAAAAAAAAACK: Sweet Deal! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JA422996-DUCATI-1998-MONSTER-900-ENGINE-MOTOR-BLOCK-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588cedddf7QQitemZ380321521143QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

I have found multiple bikes in the area and when I am not working on a saturday I will simply go buy one.

Also, please do not mention other bikes as I have had a hard enough time deciding.

lol

 [evil]

D'oh, never mind. I just noticed they're W heads which have smaller valves..  :-[

 [thumbsup]

No worries. Put FCR 41's on it and it'll run with the big valve engines no problem. Seriously. I did that with my old '98 and it's still running strong. However, the FCR with the V heads?, it did cross my mind a few times to that someday.  [cheeky]

Has anyone just hogged out a set of heads to see what the performance improvement would be?

If so ,where did you have it done??

I believe the first thing you want to do (after FCRs) is clean up / open the exhaust ports and then run a slightly bigger pipe, sans the bad collector. The unobtanium spaghetti hears were the ticket.

It really depends on what your final goal is and how much dinero you're ready to pour into it. For ultimate performance Chris Kelley recommends (http://www.ducatitech.com/2v/maint/rebuild/headwork.html) the testarossa (http://www.mbpducati.ca/index.htm?cylinderheads.htm~mainFrame) head work by Guy Martin. If you go the whole 9 yards, the testarossa head work will cost you a good 3K.

But with split 41 FCRs on short manifolds and 95mm high compression pistons (966 cm3), once everything is properly setup, you should be in the 100+ HP (http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/shop/heads/heads.html) neighborhood. That is pretty much the highest amount of power you can get from an old 900.

Buuut now that the new 800, 1000 and 1100 2V engines have come out it might not be worth it to dump all that money into the bike. Brad Black has a good comparison of the different engines on his site (http://bikeboy.org/comp2vmodels.html). Essentially, for an engine build from the ground up, it's better to start with a 1000 (or 1100), put in a big-bore high-comp kit and then move forward from there to get the most bang for your buck.

The most surprising of Brad's discoveries is that the stock headers aren't that bad. They flow pretty well, and the 'X' section helps get more power at higher RPMs vs two individual pipes.

Bigger is better, but only to a certain point. The bigger the pipes are, the slower the exhaust gas moves, and when it's too slow the heads will not fully empty themselves of exhaust gas, meaning that less fresh mixture will go in. Which is a bad, bad thing!

Me? I'm a cheap bastard! [cheeky] The less I can spend on an engine, the better. I'd like to get my hands on a 1000+ engine, possibly from a Hyper or an old Multi since the cases are already narrow for the SBK swingarm. But that would mean getting and tuning a TCIP box to run the engine off carbs. So a 900 might work out better for me.. but that's for another thread ;)

you can also talk to Donnie about taking W heads and putting the bigger tulip valves in after cleaning up the head and doing a 3 angle on it and some cams out of a newer FI head and you'll have still spent way less than the Testarosso heads and get a damn good bit of performance.

Did ya get one? Didja? Didja?

I had to work yesterday and mor than likely the next 3 to 5 saturdays .

Quite a few SD's I have found are in PA and NJ and are mostly 08's.

I hate not having my own garage! I would jump on this deal (http://www.copart.com/c2/individualLot.html?lotId=23830210) immediately! >:(

That bike is way too hammered. If you got it really, really cheap then maybe.

If I could get it for around 1k for parts alone? Hell yeah!

Plus, Massimo mainly wants it just for the motor.  Thing is, the motor might have taken a hit as well...  Either that or the owner took off a pressure plate and clutch cover...

That could still be too high but I suppose it depends on your disposable income. I agree that going for the engine would be good but you have to reduce your exposure and risk as much as you can. Fixing wrecks adds up bigtime in a hurry.   ;D

I signed up on that site and you have to be "licensed" or you have to pay a broker to buy and deliver it for you.

Cheapest I could get that for was $450 plus delivery -- wtf?  They are right down the road from me, I have to pay $600-700 for the privilege of having someone buy the bike for me?  Screw them.

Thanks for the info, I had not checked. That pretty much ruins the deal.

a good complete HyperMotard engine costs about $1500 on eBay, so getting the engine, ecu, injectors and wiring for less than that would have been a deal. Then I could sell all the other parts/crap I didn't need for my project (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=46971.0).

Plus there's always the option of asking Donnie to keep an eye out for total-loss bikes that come into DucPond for eval. I'm sure he does insurance estimates and maybe could let you know when a good motor becomes available.

Meh, I'll just wait for the squids to come out!  [evil]

Well, here goes.... http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2261476756.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2261476756.html)

Think you should part it out rather than sell it whole.  That way you could use the engine in the sbk frame you've got.

Thought about it, using the engine, carbs and electricals out of the 900 would save time (and maybe some money). But if I sell the bike then I can get a Hyper or Multi engine that will bolt right in and (in the long run) is cheaper to get more power out of.

Granted, but didn't you say that the 900, with those carbs, has enough power to give you a good scare already? 

Well, the 750 is more than enough for good times on public roads and even the Shenandoah course at Summit Point.

This is more about me being anal about the build than real need for power. I'd rather have a DS motor and not part out the 900 simply because I feel it's the better solution. [thumbsup]

MAN...THAT GUY IS OUT OF HIS MIND....he wants beyond retail for a 15+ year old bike...

I'll give him a grand!...LOL   [thumbsup] ;)  GLWS !!!

on a different note...here's a cheap trackbike if someone needs/wants

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2263698942.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2263698942.html)

I'd be careful talking about that guy...I heard he was a terrist or mafia hitman or both or something...

Watch it smartass or you'll wake up with a horse's head and it's ... up your ... (I'll leave the rest to your imagination)  8)



[laugh] [cheeky]

make the beast with two backsing terrorists...

I say club them all in the head with a red Swingline stapler!

Really? It's so much easier: all you need is pasta (made by "La Mamma"), wine and a tarantella in the background!  [cheeky] [laugh]

she makes pasta bad enough that you use it for to club someone in the head with it so that they trip over a bottle of wine in some sort of weird bizzarre folk dance looking movement?.....man...remind me not to eat there...LOL...J/K!

I really could not see me letting my m900 go for 1k. I would rather part it out and that  would be very sadding.  :'(

I think the exhaust on mine is probably worth more than that! [laugh]

I'm kinda split about parting it out, but if it doesn't sell for a good price, that's probably what will happn. :-\

Any way (without spending mad cash) to fab the 900s exhaust onto the new project?

Never thought about doing that. [thumbsdown]

Don't make those anymore and they're really hard to find, I think it would be a shame.

Are you talking about the 748 Style exhaust?  Love that setup!  Looks awesome!

That's the one. Made by Ducati Performance (former Gio.Ca.Moto) and it was called the 916-style exhaust.

Roger, you should buy that exhaust for your Chromo.  It would really set that bike off.

why put a perfectly good piece of performance gear on a bike that hardly ever sees the street?

lol

Just trying to get some money in Massimo's hands; iffin' he has to part that thing out.

while someone else is trying to take it out!  [cheeky] [laugh]

Just tell her to go sit inside with the other womenz.

Nah, Im happy with the current setup.

after some Cointreau oriented concoction!

A tribute to the new comer: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2264174267.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2264174267.html)  [thumbsup]

I prefer this to the 'S' version with its ugly little fairing. One of the few Jap bikes I'd like to have together with the Kawa W650, VTR (first model) and ... that's it. All twins btw ;D

The SV is nice, I have the TL which is basically a faster, prettier, higher spec, but much less polished/more crude version of the same. They are fun bikes and the 90 deg twin in them is an excellent motor - comes in between a 998 and 999 in terms of performance (but nearer the 998 than the 999 - this was verified at a dyno day). Stock rear suspension is truly terrible, but there's plenty of aftermarket fixes.  Stock forks are a little soft, but not bad.  The ducati superbikes handle a little better I think.  The TL has a bit of a raw, crude feel about it that I find most endearing.  Its probably not as reliable as most japanese bikes, but I've done 60k on mine without any real troubles.  Its starting to have electrical issues, but many of those miles were in the rain and snow and the harness is quite corroded now. 

Time to get rid of the 620. With what should I replace it?

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2276015662.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2276015662.html)
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2275730798.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2275730798.html)
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2273853527.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2273853527.html)

That daytona is awfully sexy!

What's a good price point for the 620 on teh craiglist? Ducati dent, termi slipons and stock cans as well.

Out of the three that you posted, I would go for the Daytona.  I had one for a while, and it was a VERY fun bike once the suspension was set up.  Not trying to say anything snide with this at all, but you will need to figure in the cost of a professional set up for the bouncy bits on that bike Jim, and might want to consider different valving for the fork.  Once set up though, LOOK OUT! 

I would walk from the 999.  It's an '04, so had the less desirable motor and swingarm.  Also, the repaint, rearsets and grips makes me think the bike went down.

The Bimota is...  Well, a Bimota!  I'd love to have one, but I don't think I would buy that one.

Go with the Daytona!

1.Bimota, itsa fookin Bimota!!

2.Triumph

3. 999 ,if price drops down to 5800, it needs different paint.

Still, I'm kinda torn since it's the SB not a DB. Although I suppose the jap parts are cheaper/easier to find than those lazy italians sending things over by slow boat when they get around to it...

of course the Triumph makes me sing this song:
The Lonely Island - Jizz In My Pants (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY#normal)

Uh oh dude, you're on a slippery slope :) What next, some crappy vintage British bike?

Bimota - wow, super cool but as pointed out getting parts might be a beyotch. Although we do have DucPond nearby and Battley, both familiar with these. GSXR motor = good. 600 = meh. Still, as Lars points out - it's a Bimota!

999 - pass, as already pointed out it's been painted, which means red flag!

Triumph - triple = nice!, black = nice!, price = don't know, is that a good price?

Sure you wouldn't rather have a Buell Ulysses?

I'd stick with v2 Bimotas.  The SB8R has a lightly tweaked TL1000R engine which isn't a bad lump - great character and performance just slightly ahead of a 998. The 4cyl bimotas tended to use older-generation motors and I'm not sure performance was all that great, but I don't know as much about them.

The 675 looks very nice. 

Another twin you might look at is the honda RC51 - its a great one and dead reliable. This one is tidy but a bit over-priced
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2274543371.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2274543371.html)
Maybe this
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2268176330.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2268176330.html)

There are other 999s listed that might be better.

?  sb6 uses the liter lump no?

Not a bad suggestion.


Heretic.


Reliable yes, but it's heavy and turns in like a train.


Why yes, yes it does.  Can you tell that I'm a bit biased here?

Not so many of those around at the moment. The guy that has this is the guy that sold me the 620 last year. He had a DB4 that I'm sad he's already sold. It was beautiful! As much a garage queen as the SB6R...and what's the point of having a bike if you're not gonna ride it!!



Really!?!? ???

You mean like this: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2267199732.html? (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2267199732.html?) Very cool and quite tempting! If only I knew jack-shit about restoring old bikes! Maybe I should come hang at Casa  [bacon] for some lessons: need an apprentice?


I already own one of your hand-me-down heaps! ;D   and I love it! [moto]

The v2 bimotas are hard to find...

In support of heresy... The the TL vs 998 comment comes from having run my (high-mileage, generally thrashed and running a home-brew fuel map) '97 TLS against a (very nice) 998 back to back at a dyno day.  The old TLS came out ahead, but only just.  Compared to my TLS, the Bimota has shower injectors, bigger TBs, more aggressive cams, smaller head ports and more compression so it should be stronger still.  The TLS and 998 both scored slightly ahead of a pair of Tuonos.  A heavily modified RC51 eeked the TLS out by 1hp, but only after making half a dozen runs (the TLS only got 2 runs and the TL's first two runs bettered the RC51's first two runs by a smidge).

The RC51 is lighter than a 996 but heavier than a 999 (by 5lbs).  Seems to turn ok to me, but I haven't had one on a track (wet, ready-to-ride weights as measured by MCN http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/articles/2010JanIndex.pdf (http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/articles/2010JanIndex.pdf)) (and the TLS is 7lbs lighter than the 999  :P).  The ducati is slimmer and imho feels lighter when riding than either the RC51 or TLS.  I haven't ridden the TL powered bimota so can't comment there.
 

I was just giving you grief.  Not really a fan of Japanese bikes myself, but that's just me.

I will still jump up and down and advise Jim to go take a look at that Daytona.  I loved mine, and as I've said before, there are several times that I've really wished that I did not let it go to get the Super Duke.  And as far as the price goes, I sold mine for $7500, and it had a thousand more miles on it than the one you're looking at here.  Granted, it was one year newer, and one of the "limited" editions...  

Mmmmmmmmmmm...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2279663015.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2279663015.html)

ya I know [cheeky]  I like 90 deg sporting twins regardless of their country of origin - of course most come from Bologna but japan has made a couple of good ones.  I knew a guy who put over 200k miles on an RC51 with nothing but basic maintenance.

Ooops. My bad. The thing won't be lacking power then. That'd be a step up from a 2 valve twin (says the guy who currently has 6 in his basement ... but not for loooong...)

Here's another VA Daytona.  I don't know the market for these or whether its a good deal

My favorite line from that ad: "This bike is not for beginners." [evil] Present owner must have heard Lars' review: "Superduke blah [drool] blah [bow_down] blah :o Superduke!"

The guy can most likely be talked down a touch if you take the right approach. The add states that the bike has the full Akra Ti system, when in fact it has FMF slip-ons. Also, KTM never spec'd any of their bikes with magnesium wheels, and those are the same hoops (the stock ones) that are on my SD. WPS suspension? Really?

Statements like that always remind me of the line a used car salesman I used to race with used years ago to great effect. A guy had come in to look for a new truck. He obviously didn't have enough money, but as an evil used care salesman he was duty-bound to get him to buy the most expensive (overpriced) truck on the lot. Said salesman looked over at the guy's family in the old truck and then back at said customer. "I don't know Bubba, I don't think your wife will let you buy this much truck."
Sold!

Though not the same, my personal favorite on CL or other used ads is when people say they have $xxx 'invested' in the bike. Stock, bonds and T-bills are investments. No matter how much you spend, bikes are mostly toys. Get over the concept of 'investing'  [roll]

^ that always bothered me too - I thought maybe its 'cause I'm an economist/lawyer and overly picky about such things  [roll]

That KTM 950SM has been for sale for a really long time - if I'm not mistaken (and I might be) going on about six months now.

Well one could call installing aftermarket items an investment. A losing one.

one might call THIS particular find REALLY cool...

Since you guys scour the CL and Ebay religiously if you come across a 600 supersport (typical japanese crotch rocket) for ~$2500-$4000 let me know. A coworker is looking to get a bike and no matter how many times I beat it into his head that he should start on an SV650 so he doesn't kill himself or go into the poor house he wants something faster and flashier.

He's a good kid but there are definite douchebag tendencies. I'm hoping I can convince him to ride with me a few times before he goes off and kills himself.

I haven't figured out exactly how much.  Probably $2500 or so.  I need to see what they are going for, take pics and write up an add.  Hopefully this weekend.  Interested?

Re Sumos for short people, you can ride a tall one and just scoot off to one side when you stop.  They are so slim/light it shouldn't be much of a trouble.  Honda has a 230 supermoto that's really short too.

I saw the Duke, cool bike.

I always like that attitude: "Don't try to offer me what a damaged bike is worth 'cause I'll just spend a bunch of money to fix it up and sell it for BlueBook even though it's a buyers market right now". Well good luck dude. I'm always tempted to immediate offer guys like this $500.00, or better yet ask them the name of the planet they're from.

The Suzuki DR250/350s are a little shorter than most "full size" dirt bikes.  I've had a couple of them.  Not super fast, but really smooth and have nicely spaced 6-speed transmissions that let you get the most from the motor.  There's lots of room to get more power from them as well - big bore kits up to 455cc, pumper carbs, cams, exhaust etc.  The bottom end/gearbox is essentially indestructible (and heavy).  I built a 350 up from parts to use for dual sporting and city commuting when I lived in Cambridge Mass.  I sold it last summer though to fund the desert bike.  I still commute on my wife's DR250SE quite often - great city run-about.  My 350 was a pretty simple build.  I took off all the uneeded stuff like the rear sub-sub frame, passenger pegs and fitted FMF exhaust for an approx 30lbs weight savings.  Then I dropped in a high compression piston, pumper carb, opened up the air box and fitted the usual big plastic tank, renthal bars, cycra handguards, heated grips etc and it was ready to rock. 

The CRF450R wouldn't make a great beat-around woods bike I think.  Its a pretty serious competition machine with unbelievable performance.  It'd take a national caliber rider to hang onto it in the woods.  I race B-class in the woods and its too much of a handful for me.  Of course if you just wanted to putter around you could ride a couple of gears high and demolish the straights at will :) 

some more ham sammich action for Lars...

Found it: Suzuki DRZ 400 S&M  ;D

(http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery%20%20A/Suzuki%20DRZ400SM%2005.jpg)

Turn signals are fugly (remind me of the ones on my '01 SV) but looks are otherwise OK. [thumbsup]

Hack a few things off and that could be an amazing looking motard.

They are nice bikes, slow though (that's fixable for a price).  A husqvarna SM610 is quite a bit more spunky, the same weight and not a lot more cash.  Its 6-speed makes freeway work a lot less buzzy too.  MFI has an amazingly looking 'berg 570 'tard on the floor too.  [evil]

Read about it online from a former owner, essentially it's a good all round bike, but buy something else if you want power and only 5 gears seriously limit the bike.

I'm poking around on fleabay right now, looking at the different SuMos there...  [evil]
I know I should just concentrate on my SBK build, but look at this: DRZ 400 SM supermoto super moto jump (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYu7DQn5vAI#normal)
The hooligan in me is about to explode! [evil]

Think of how far you could jump with almost double the hp, 80lbs less weight and suspension/chassis that's a bazillion times better (i.e., on my CRF450R)  [evil]

And a nice S2R in that video to boot...

la la la la la la la la la  I caaaan't hear youuuuuuuuu! [laugh]

I did think about it for a moment or two, especially after I saw that Ram Cycles is selling this baby (http://www.ramcycles.net/estore/product_info.php?cPath=78&products_id=406) for $6,500
(http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt239/Ramcycles/CRFL.jpg)

If I could, if I had the space really, I would have a garage filled with bikes! My 750 rat bike, bianca (the 2v SBK project), a sumo for my hooligan moments, a guzzi or two... I just have to hold back until my wife is done with her studies.  [evil] [evil] [evil]

Yeah I saw that one.  I honestly think you could do better building your own for the $$$, but the best value, esp if you wanna ride on the street right now are the Husqvarna SMs.  Like check this, fuel injected, 6spd street legal Italian 450 'tard brand new for <$5k
http://www.motorcyclefactoryinc.com/new_vehicle_detail.asp?sid=01338922X4K7K2011J9I22I26JAMQ2287R0&veh=128274&pov=1888439 (http://www.motorcyclefactoryinc.com/new_vehicle_detail.asp?sid=01338922X4K7K2011J9I22I26JAMQ2287R0&veh=128274&pov=1888439)

I have the space if you need a place to park it  [roll]

I've decided to part the 900 (1995 M900). It's still all on the bike right now so no fancy pics yet. I'm posting here first to give the locals first dibs. Here's a list of the farkles:

 - Gio.Ca.Moto (now Ducati Performance) 916-style high mount carbon fiber exhaust (this is the full system, not just high mount cans);
 - Cycle Cat rearsets with carbon fiber heel guards;
 - Cycle Cat clip-ons;
 - Rizoma bar-end mirrors;
 - Ducati Performance speedo and tach set with warning lights and carbon fiber mask;
 - Aftermarked clutch slave;
 - Fully adjustable forks (compression, extension);
 - Racetech springs need to check the numbers on those;
 - Ohlins rear shock with detached reservoir (not visible in pics since I moved it under the seat);
 - Light weight aluminum swingarm;
 - Carbon fiber sprocket cover, clutch cover, belt covers, 'bit around the key lock', and side panels;
 - Thruxton style mini fairing - I also have an original DP carbon fiber windshield that I'm willing to put on for the right price.

Aside from engine, carbs and wiring the whole bike is pretty much for sale (tank, frame, seat, seat cowl...) So any other piece you might need let me know. Wheels and rotors are likely spoken for, btw.

Here's two vids:

And pics here: http://codeherrings.com/images/moto/ducati/m900/ (http://codeherrings.com/images/moto/ducati/m900/)

I think the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway: anyone know if those rearsets will fit the s2r?

I'll talk to you about the mirrors too if you're gonna be at steves.

Eh!  I was going to try to grab the mirrors for the SD.  Nebmind.  They be silver.

Might be interested in the rear shock if it can be crafted to fit the SC.

Lars?

That's a technically amazing bike, but I think they broke the ugly stick they hit it so hard.

The gills freak me out a little bit.  Aside from those, its a sweet bike!

 [laugh]   [thumbsup]

They hit it twice, once on the left and once on the right. That's why it's got those big bumps.

It's good to see on the new Buell they did away with that. I seem to recall a pic somewhere of one where someone just got rid of that and redid ducting / put a huge radiator or something on it. Made the bike look supah dupah.

I believe that was the Pegasus racing folks from Germany that were racing the bulked out 1190 version and winning...

I've seen this SV 1000 on CL before, I'd get it in a heartbeat: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2333516673.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2333516673.html)

Yeah - that SV definitely had a good owner.

Oh man.  I would totally buy that if I had the money.

OH shit. I've wanted one of those for roughly oh I dunno... ever. If I could get over the ergos I would buy that in a heartbeat.

Buddy of mine died on one last year though, kinda knocked the shine off...

I love the bubble fairings on those, and have often thought about fabbing up mounts to mine so I could do that (bumble bee looking Paul Smart), but damn he's asking too much money for that bike.  And I can't imagine needing to lower one.  They aren't all that tall to begin with.

Yeah - I thought the same thing - why lowered? Best bet is to return it to stock I'd say.

I really liked them too, except the fairing is too "heavy" looking with the bevels they put in. Makes it look ponderous in my eyes.

Then there's this, if ya got some extra dosh laying about: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-Ducati-750-Sport-893-Miles-Unrestored-/120713634425?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item1c1b17e279 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-Ducati-750-Sport-893-Miles-Unrestored-/120713634425?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item1c1b17e279)

That, my good sir, is one mighty fine motoscoot.  I'd love to have that to go along with my '06.

that guy has been selling off his "dad's collection" for a week or so now on Ebay...the uber OMG old 900SS from General Monster forum is one that he sold off, and a couple/few Bimota's ....and if you look in the pictures in the backround I also saw a Sedici and a DB2 I think as well as god knows what else he is going to be listing....

Fixed it for ya.   [thumbsup]

He makes me sad...

have him take you to dinner and a nice show, maybe buy you some new shoes or jewelry.. that should cheer you up.

WHO...me or the seller?

I think Julie/Ben would look fantastic in a nice set of 3.5 inch "never leave the room and make the beast with two backs me pumps" modeling a slingback dress....LOL

hooker heels on a bike?  hmm

MV Agusta F4 Ago for only(!!!) $18000  ;D

Donnie has had a very low mile example of that bike out at his shop for a while know; can't remember what he's asking for it though.

And as sad as this is, I realized that MV went to plastic tanks on the '10 and newer F4s.  Wonder if their using the same formula of nylon Acerbis tanks that are on Ducs, KTMS and Apes...

I like how, compared to the 851, the tail section fairing starts higher and shows more of the bike. Like a short skirt, it gives you a bit of a tease [evil]

Is there even enough space on a monster for 3k worth of carbon?

There's room for more than that.  Ask me how I know.   [evil]

um, how do you know? :)

You should get Ted to wrap those CF wheels in faux Ti!

Seriously, carbon was so 2003.

When was the last time that you rode your bike?

 [cheeky]

Last week as a matter of fact!  Not as long or as far as I would have liked to but she felt good!

so...you rode to the Continental to get a slice of pizza and then rode home?....or did you ride over to the Starbucks off of Woodmont so you could hear the bike rattle between the buildings going both ways?   :P

Yea I know......New Years resolution is to carve out more time to ride.  Been tough lately with three kiddos and two struggling businesses.......

I promise you, your saddle time is no sweeter than mine!

That looks nice.

Does it come with life & disability insurance, or is that optional? [evil]

I'm guessing unavailable.  I rode an '87 CR500 in MX when I was 13 (and have raced two strokes on and off since) so not unaccustomed to the power delivery.  I probably haven't ridden anything with a modestly quick motor that handles that badly though  :o    [moto]

Well called on the H1 to see about looking at it over lunch break - no luck there as the seller's unavailable till tomorrow night.  I'll go look at it then, fingers crossed!
 [evil]

That would be an awesome bike. I'm sure the handling issues can be somewhat fixed. A fork brace + a steering damper would help a lot. Maybe some frame bracing?

Yes it can, drain the fluids, remove the battery, and park it in your spare room, naturally the living room would be reserved for something more worthy. It is a great conversation piece, about all it was good for back in the day and still.... - Gene

[laugh]

I can't put it in the spare room - a dissembled Commando is taking up the space!

That is worthy for the Living room when you get it finished. BTW are you familar with Deer Park Cycles? http://deerparkcycle.com/ (http://deerparkcycle.com/) A business partner, orig owner of a 1978 Triumph Bonneville, gorgeous BTW, just had this guy get it running, road worthy after a long time sitting in the garage.

Wat.

Tell me you're bullshitting me. OR tell me I can take it for a spin. Whichever's cool.

Clutch is on the left right? Or, right, left? Dammit... I'll get it one of these days.

Clutch?

Yeah what do you need that for just grab a handful of throttle right as the motor gets to around 5.5k RPM and shift at about 7 without the clutch. Let us know how that works out for you. - Gene

reminds me of when I would ride my uncle's old 50cc enduro in the country. clutch wire was broken, so I would push start it in 2nd gear, ride it down the drive way, kill the engine, turn around and push start it for the trip back. most silly fun ever! ;D

 :P Sounds about right  [moto]

The gearbox is a tad unusual too. I'd guess that if you manage to pull away from a stop on the first attempt ok you'll probably be alright.

I always an attitude like "As for a photo. These are boxer BMW's nuf said unless you don't know what a boxer is."

Uh, dude, people want a pic of what you're selling to see the condition, not because they don't know what it is. My guess is this guy doesn't know how to use a digital camera or something. There should be an "asshat CL ad" button for posts like this.

OK rant off.

"but it's rare!!"

yeah, so is the occurrence of marbles in my poop.

Thanks for the Wednesday morning visual.  :'(

Hey guys,

Looking for a nice m620 from the years 2002-2006. I've been scouring craigslist all the way from the dc area and down to NC to not much luck. There was one that a forum member had listed but he sold it local before I could jump on it. Thanks!

what are you looking to spend and are you looking for ANY 620 or specifically a Dark or what?

Really nice '99 900 SuperSport (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2401458051.html) has been popping up on CL occasionally.

those bikes just won't sell well at any price.  very unloved design for the most part.  it's taken a bit to grow on me, but still not my favorite.

it looks much better with the half fairing setup:
(http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery/Ducati%20620%20Sport%2003%20%203.jpg)

I'm looking to spend around 4k. I don't know what you mena by any 620 since there isn't much difference from a dark and standard? I know for 01-03 the darks only had a single disk brake as opposed to dual? Not sure about 04-06.

any 620:  i.e. 620 ss, 620 multistrada, 620 monster, 620 SBK (i keeed i keeed)

the reason I ask, is there was a guy with a "Looking to buy" ad on CL looking for a 620 a lil while back, and at the time, my GF dolci considered selling her 620, but the guy said he didn't want the Rosso schema, and only wanted a Dark...some people know exactly what they want, and hence, it is a waste to suggest anything else.


he actually did origionally say M620 denoting Monster....so I shortened it saying 620...so I knew he was looking for a Monster.

there is a cherry s2r800 in ohio for 4400 now.  it's stock, but its' clean..

i gotta sell a bike.. :-(

I am a bad influence just trying to motivate you...

OR....if you want...I can happily store 1 machine for you...
provided you leave me with the keys for me to ride it as rent when I so desire....LOL...wink wink, nudge nudge

That'd make for a nice fly-and-ride  [evil]

Calling Mr. Brian, it's high time you got a new bike, and this one has your name written all over it.

Best thing is, it's local.

Dude,WTF he said, you should get that thing if it isn't sold already.

Lars, here's this.

I'll sell you mine for less though.   [evil]

want.

Mine's for sale.  If Lars doesn't buy it first that is.

BTW, I'll be needing a rear stand for single sided swingarms (748/996 and S*r bikes) in a bit. I prefer local, let me know if you see anything.

this one will be interesting to watch....

That does look like it could be a good find, but Texas is a long way from DC.

yeah but

DIZ....when do you EVER get a warranty from a private owner or sale on something from an individual direct on a motorcycle?

exactly, which makes me suspicious of the seller now.

That thing could be a deal (for the right price) or a nightmare. I'm leaning towards deal - it seems in awfully good shape. That said, a potential buyer ought to bring a battery for it and hear it start first! :) I'm guessing the carb jets are just blocked from sitting.
My assumption, with the way things are on eBay, is it'll end up selling for as much as a running M900  [roll]

This one seems like a pretty nice deal, especially for the MSF fresh CAM'ers. [thumbsup]

What a find!

If I had spare money right now I'd so buy that for Colleen.
