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.

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:

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...

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]!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...

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.

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.

QuoteCARB:
1. The best engine came in all 91 to 97 900 SS and SL bikes. These engines were also used in 900 Monster up to engine number 037727 ( late 1996 build ) and the 98/99 900 Monster Special.
2. The not so good carb engine came in 900 Monster from engine number 037728 and the Cagiva Elefant series. The differences are camshafts and valves. These lower spec engines have 750 cams and valves. The valves are a couple of mm smaller. The cams are a little wacky, being about the same duration, but lower lift than the good 900 cams, with different timing, much wider lobe separation and less overlap. To my mind, they are an old cam design, borne out by the part number beginning with 0370, indicating something from the early or mid eighties. The inlet timing and lift is almost the same as the 4V Strada cam. Now that I think about it, the exhaust is similar to the 4V exhaust also.
As far as I am concerned, the only thing these cams are good for opening is the bin as you throw them away. Riding 900 Monsters with the detuned engine makes you wonder what the hell they thought they were going to achieve. It does explain, however, why the Elefants always felt slow for a 900.

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.

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1868678719.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/1868678719.html) M900 for $3200
http://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/mcy/1873909133.html (http://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/mcy/1873909133.html) CR900 $2800
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.

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?

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).

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.

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?

He wants too much, but I luvs me some 900SS.
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.

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?

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.

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)

???
Quotethe bad...
the clutch needs to be replaced it wont engage
needs new front and rear brake pads
needs new sliders
and a front fender
will need a new front tire soon
and has a small oil leak (probably from the age of the tubing)
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.

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])

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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]

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?

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!

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

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...

My speedometer once said I was doing 160!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Granted this was downhill with a strong wind at my back, but still) As long as he doesn't ask what units, I'm golden! I'll be sure to tell him I get 220 per tank too. [laugh]

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?

My favorite line from that ad: "This bike is not for beginners."
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.

Borders store near my place is closing ( :'( btw) so they're selling everything at %50+ off.
Might want to check out stores near where you guys live, I got some books for my niece.
The boarders near 19th and K is also closing and has stuff on sale.
Totally random, but I'm looking for a trials bike so if anyone happens to have a line on one let me know. I'll also be trying to sell my CRF450R pretty soon as well.
Check the prices carefully at Borders....(our roommate works there and has told us not everything is such a great deal). On the other hand, we got some sweet storage for our kitchen that makes us look as though we are working in the pantry at "Chopped" [thumbsup]

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.

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.

probably a DR350 lowered slightly and had a set of 17" hoops put on it, so it was a custom jobby...but still a cool ride.

QuoteBlue book is $5100 however it's negotiable because it's cosmetically damaged, and it needs a battery. Starts right up on jumper cables. Front fairing is cracked, probably repairable. I think my paint guy can do something with the side fairing and tail has a big scrape... also I see that there's a few after market complete body kits on ebay for $468 to $568. It also needs the right mirror and right mirror brace. I believe that's everything it needs.
So it doesn't need a lot of work, but it does need some work. I figured I'd post it up and see what kind of offers I get. Don't low ball me because i won't accept it. I'm not in need of money, and this isn't an insurance buy back, there was no claim put it in since it's minor cosmetics. I am willing to sell it at an honestly fair price (that we both consider is fair) considering the damage though. If no one responds in a couple of days I'll fix everything and list it asking for $5100.
Email me, text me, (preferable) or you can call and leave a message (with offer) and i'll call you back..
240-353-9175
not sure what he's lookin to get...but it went slidin and needs a battery as well as skins and who knows what else and god knows what the service history is like....if he thinks he can get more than $3K currently, he is out of his gourd...and if he relists it repaired without disclosure trying to get full retail, he is also smokin kitty litter....
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 :)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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....

SD is as described, RETARDED.

I don't know any one, nor have met anyone mature enough to own SD.
Why you are not in the pokey right now is beyond me.
I would be able to exercise more restraint on a turbo busa with 2-stage nitrous.
A turbo busa with 2- stage squeeze would make more sense.
I cannot have SD, it is bad.

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.

if you rape an ape, he's not going to run, he's going to turn around and rip your arms off and shove them up your ass.

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?

Just in case you did not know about the shop and you get to take the north end of Rt.97 to get there which is a lot of fun in itself. - Gene

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.

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!

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:

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.

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.

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]

Stupid periods.
I hope to hear back from the seller soon. KBB is 8500 in excellent condition, so the price could be right...
Only real issue you'd run into with only having one key is making sure you don't lose that one key. I've got all the needed bits to re-map the ecu on that bike, so that would work out for you. One plus, it's got BRAND NEW tires with 60% tread remaining. [roll]

Well they were brand new when he put them on, and now they've got about 60% left. It's obvious, no?!?
BTW, I've got a brand new (*) 2001 M750 I might put up for sale
(*) with about 60% life remaining [laugh]
Ha! Ya, I thought the "new tires" was a funny. Haven't heard back from seller, but it's early.
Exchanged PMs with Gene about his bike. He's on the road so I'll try to catch up with him wed/thurs. I figure while I'm out in the burbs I'd look at some other bikes like this duke.
I really think Gene's S2R would be the one to go for. It might have some miles on it, but you know the thing has been SERIOUSLY taken care of, and is probably in better shape than many bikes that are only a year old.

The Yamaha seems like crazy fun, but it will probably require an oil change a week (a la Aprilia SXR). The DRZ is much more interesting (decent HP and normal maintenance), I found a few local ones on supermotojunkie.com
DRZs are pretty slow unless you mod the heck out of them. Not necessarily a problem, just don't expect too much. I have fun on a 17hp DR250 sometimes so power isn't everthing, but DRZ's are only good for about 33hp in stock form and those 33hp don't even come on very quickly - heavy flywheel and sedate throttle response. If you convert them to E model spec (FCR, exhaust, different base gasket for more compression etc) you can get around 38hp which isn't too bad in a light bike and throttle response improves dramatically. Bomb it out with big bore, high compression, cam etc you can see in the mid 40s. Folks have gotten even more hp from them, but it tends to get really expensive and reliability becomes questionable.
A sumo'd XR650R would be fun on the street I think. Decent, though not insane power, rugged and reliable and the power it does make comes on really low and pulls hard. Not unlike the power curve you get from an 1100 desmo. Power is in the low 40s stock and you can sneak up on 50hp with mods, but that's about the cealing. Fortunately they don't weight any more than a DRZ. Kick start only and only available as a dirt bike though so work to be done to make it a sumo.
MFI had Husqvarna SM450s for, I think, $5k not long ago and that Duke 690 for $6k would make a heck of a good street motard.
The yamaha would make a great track toy. A bit maintenance intensive for the street, but not horribly so. Change oil every 800ish miles and it'd be good I'd think. The valves in those hold up quite well. Note though that it has a very close ratio 5spd gearbox so you'd need to run really tall gearing inorder to be able to go freeway speeds without revving its gutts out. Also it vibrates a bit.
To bad they quit selling this thing here:

I have an S2r, I WASN'T BASHING ! :-)
and that's a great price for an SP, but he's crapped it up really badly IMHO.. i am not a fan of a pre-stickered bike. the black paint job I don't mind so much, but the SP should be red or yellow... i think that is why the price is so low.. it's a real deal though.

As a current owner of both, I can honestly say that the S2R1000 gives nothing away to the ST3, the opposite is true in fact, the only place where the motor on my ST3 has a small advantage is in the sweepers running at a speed I should not be running on the street anyway. Meanwhile the S2R (or my M900) is way more fun and capable in the tight twisty stuff that is the most fun to ride. The American fascination with HP just boggles my mind, if most riders were honest with themselves they would realize that even 95 HP on a light machine like the S2R1000 is more than enough for our roads. I love my ST3 and just completed a 5 day run down to Barber and back on it, on nice 2 lane back roads. it was fun and having the luggage capacity was nice but on many of those roads I would have preferred being on one of the Monsters, with slightly less power perhaps but the agility more than makes up for it. :) - Gene

St3 cams are mild while the S2r1k's are much hotter. The St3 has a lot more potential for range.

Gene, we exchanged e-mail.
The only email exchanged was when you were down at OBX, 4 days after you said you were going to contact me and I sent you an email. In your email response BTW you stated bad reception with cell/internet but indicated you would be ready to deal when you got back if it was still available, cash in hand......My only point is a simple email to say you had gotten another bike would have been common courtesy and the right thing to do, the fact that you found another bike is no harm no foul, the fact that you did not have the decency to contact me via phone, text, or email is in bad form.

miss your old Monsta eh?
Well, yes I do, but I am not shopping for myself at this point. Alhough I would like to add another bike to the stable, unfortunately that's not in the cards right now.
A co-worker/friend is getting back into motorcycling after not riding for ~8 years and this would be a great bike for him. He's struggling with whether he wants to spend the cash he has on hand (read: been authorized by his wife to spend) or to just finance something. There's a cute little used 750 Brutale inside the front door at Coleman's that caught his eye.....

Who needs a new chain? I've got a DiD VM525 X-ring chain that I got for the SC, but then decided to go a different route. It's a 108 link chain and new in the box. $120 and it's yours.

Both of my 900SS bikes have a 520. That's why I was surprised, your SC is only 1000cc and probably less HP than my 900SP (944cc), unless you've done some serious work on it...
I wonder if it was the DS motors they put it on...

Bill Wall - he must own Wall Drug, cause it's like the same name. Or maybe he owns Wall Mart (not to be confused with Walmart)?
And I don't think it's a matter of cleaning sadly, that's rust! The friggin chain is rusty and it looks like that has stained the cases. My guess is it was left on it's sidestand outside for a while.

Anyone looking for a track bike? My friend Jen is selling her 2008 gsxr 600 with 7500-ish miles on it. It's been lowsided on the track with bits repaired, stolen and recovered twice, and has street fairings (and I think track plastics). It's white with silver on it. If you are or anyone you know is looking, let me know and I'll connect you with Jen.

Don't feel too bad. I think they only recently started that 10% discount.

I drooled over the one at Battley's today while trying on new lids. Unlike Artful, I have no morals and only bought some oil change crush washers. ;D The Battley Tesi is quite a bit more expensive than this one. Same year and doesn't have 100,000 miles on it like this one purports.
Out of curiosity, do you know what's their asking price?
I'd be surprised if the one on ebay even had 1000 miles, don't know why they put 100,000? ???

-Brembo rotors and calipers

Manhood Camping

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manhood Camping Firequest. Lookin' for a 100% for real bros to share/experience manhood in all its glory. This is for real, I don't want to waste my time or yours. 100% JO and manhood, no sugar added. I AM NOT GAY. Don't even think this is a sex thing, it's all about manhood.
Looking for bros to head into the woods and bond by fire, experience life as men once lived it, JO circle, and fire/vision quests.
THIS IS NOT A SEX THING.
Gonna need some basic things/skills, I don't want to be slowed down by fools:
- must be in reasonable shape, if you get winded walking then stay home
- Ed Hardy camping gear, it's really good gear and it's awesome
- desire to be a man among men
- not afraid to wield a blade
- crystal, I'm not sharing mine
- must be able to make a fire
- gloves
- a knowledge of native vegetation (knowledge of psychotropic fungus a plus)
- knowledge of modern music
- protective/splash resistant eye wear
- 5 - 10 of those clip things that rock climbers use
We are gonna need a mobile music device, ipod or something. I'm bringing the music for the firequests and visionquests, Nickleback's The Long Road. I only have it on CD, so I'll have my discman as a last resort, an ipod would be nicer. Just sayin'.
Dont' want to see"
- bad attitudes
- gay/homoerotic behavior, this is a manhood thing. I AM NOT GAY.
- cock rings, can't keep it up w/o help, you aren't gonna make it on this quest
- firearms, there's gonna be enough guns going off and spent shells to pick up
- the nerds/dorks/lames/and anyone less than 100% into manhood.
If you are serious, then I promise you this will be the trip of your life. It will change the way you think. I'm serious, and I AM NOT GAY. To see a group of bros being men, a JO circle by a camp fire. The charge/energy in the air. Crystals get jacked, no lie. You will slip into a different frame of mind, you will feel electric.
Last outing, we had a group that was so charged we attracted bears. It was no deal, nature knew man was in the forest, the crystals gave us the confidence to own those bears. I saw it, I was there.

Yup, the oil. A friend who is nearby sent me the link asking my op. I pointed out the oil discrepancy and he went to look -- asked about it and was assured it was the same oil "as that sticker."
Friend said pass.

I saw that ad, and it struck me either as a scam or a possible extreme deal. I mean, you could part it out for way more than that. I was tempted but a little bird said "walk away". Of course now that I look at it again... :)
It's a pretty funny ad. Not sure about "pitching a tent" though...
Scammers aren't that creative.
So friggin tempting.
I saw that -- great advert [laugh] and killer deal. Sent an e-mail early this morning, haven't heard back yet. If its legit and the bodywork and title are clean I don't think I'll be able to resist.

That's the guy that I bought my 620 from. He's had this online for a long time off and on. It was listed significantly lower at one point, but seems to have "appreciated" somehow.
I thought that might be a KTM. He needs to take new pics without the hotness in the background if he wants his claim of "tough job circumstances" to be believed :D
I know he previously had it listed for 12 large, but didn't realize it's been cheaper. He's dropped the price by a couple hundred since the last time.
Was it Tim we rode with yesterday on the S4R? He thought he knew who the guy was.
Luckily I don't need a bike so I can wait and see if he ever drops the price more or emails me back. Tough economy to sell something like that, even with it as pristine looking as it does in the pics.
Speaking of bike purchases, I just heard from a little bird...

The tire was bought at the recommendation of someone else. It's the narrowest front they have, but still too wide to fit the fender w/o rubbing.. so off it came.

I don't see how a wider tire would help in rain
Wider tire = less weight per cm^2. You spread the weight around and the tire is more likely to float above the water (i.e. hydroplaning) and that's really bad.
You want MORE weight per cm^2, which you can do by either being fatter or by having a thinner tire, not wider.
I think the language used was a bit ambiguous or confusing. The size doesn't matter - but the tires do. The bike had the HD stockers on before the Avons and had only a little more traction on wet than it did ice. the HD tires are awful.
Those Avons do much better in the wet and have a more sporty profile.

i hear all that. avons in general have a good wet rep, but if you put a wider tire on, then you are reducing the per sq cm weight, which will negate any tread advantages in wet.
One day I want to be referred to as having a "good wet rep".
Good wider tires are better than crap narrower tires.
I wasn't part of the tire process at all... Don't blame the messenger.

Too general of a statement to even comment on.
I had a friend who kept complaining about his new bike's tires. They're so squirrely and slippery. of course, the tires weren't broken in at all and still had the showroom gloss on them.
I understand people ride by feel a lot, but I seriously doubt the tires got a fair test. It's entirely possible that riding with the wider tire in wet was better because the rider slowed down due to the spray in the face with the mudguard missing.

Hush up Furry
[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] I just finished reading that thread [laugh] [laugh]
Just giving ya a hard time. I'm sure the avon sticks a lot better than the oem tire, wider or not. All else equal wider usually isn't better, but it certainly can be (e.g., a 3.5" x17 racing wet will stick a heck of a lot better than any road tire in the wet, regardless of width). The other issue is taking the fender off to improve rain performance, have you ever tried to ride in the rain without a fender? Water sprays straight up and onto your face in my experience with bicycles, I think it'd be just as much an issue on a moto.

So... theoretically speaking... Are those the steel outers or the aluminum? Tubed correct? 25mm hollow front and rear? Wonder if they would fit a certain bike in my garage...
I've actually got the entire front end, including forks and triples as well. And they're the alloy rimmed wheels.
My front end is sorted and I have a set of four pots waiting to go on which will stop a bit better than the SC stockers so I'm sticking with that setup... I think the rear is wider as well... might be a pipe dream but I'd be willing to give it a go.
Sometime we need to figure out:
- Will the calipers clear the spoke
- Is the rotor offset right
- If the rear is wider what would need to be done to make it work
I'm a BIG fan of spokes on a Monster, might be cheaper to go Alpina eventually. Also, the SCs are tubed right?
They are tubed, and your four pots won't clear the spokes. That's the reason they bike came with the calipers that it did. [thumbsdown]
Then best of luck with that :D
A while ago I remember there was a guy selling tires super cheap -- I think it was out of a warehouse in Maryland somewhere, maybe b-more. Anyone remember that? Contact info? I think he had an on-going add on CL for a good while.

Now for something Monster un-related but still cool: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992-DUCATI-907ie-PASO-BIMOTA-/170701706641?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item27be9d5591 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992-DUCATI-907ie-PASO-BIMOTA-/170701706641?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item27be9d5591)

Best part of the description:
"I ... raced Doug Polen in 1986 near Woodside road and I could get ahead of him in the turns, but he put too much pressure on me so I let him go by and stayed on his tail. In other words, I'm no slouch when it comes to going fast in the turns."
Could someone post the Capt Pickard Fail pic with him holding his face in his hands?

the 907s are really the best of the pasos because they have the 900 engine and 17" wheels.

That adventure would be a sweet ride to have.
Yeah! Slap some 17" wheels on it and boogie [Dolph]
That seems like a good price on the Stelvio considering it comes with those boxes.
Well that didn't take long: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2615520235.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2615520235.html) (Multistrata S)
I demo'd the MTS1200. Hugely impressive bike. A bit too plasticy and refined for my tastes (remember I don't like "wind protection"), but its an awesome machine - great suspension, brakes, handling and of course huge power. What really surprised me was how docile and civilized it is - its smoother and more refined than even the wife's 620. Just pulls cleanly, literally from idle to red-line. If they do a MTS1200 with less plastic and a bit more fiesty motor (doesn't even have to be faster, its super-fast, just a bit more lively/less refined) I'd be in serious lust.

With the intro of the 848 Streetfighter for 2012, an MTS850 seems likely for 2013. Perhaps the retune of the revvier (I'm sure thats a word) 848 engine will give you what you seek...
It just might, but I wouldn't complain about a naked MTS1200 with a 1198 motor fitted straight in with no re(de?)tuning either. Sort of a 4v hyper with a big fuel tank.

Rode it at DucPond last year, pretty much agree with your opinion. The only thing I would add is my concern over how bad things can go when (not if, just when) one of its electronic gadgets go bad.
Yea, things have progressed and FI (fuel injection) has become much more reliable, and so has ABS. But at the same time every new bit added is another possible point of failure. I say enough of this sh!t, I want a bike designed for the Flintstones! [laugh]

That was kind my thinking about the S1000RR: great bike once you take it out of rain mode, but that repair bill for all the anti-idiot mistake gadgets is gonna SUCK!!

I picked up an Imola style front fairing... and I have a bump seat..
I am going to do it to a 900SS.
If you guys see a cheap 900SS on craigslist (2500-3000?) of any variety, something between 93 and 97, pm me.
I have new forks, wheels, alu swingarm, a few spare tanks. Doesn't need to be pretty but it needs to run and be structurally sound.
There is one on cycletrader for 3200, but I am loathe to dismember a perfect bike.
There's been a guy in NH on ADV with a SS-SP for cheap - $2500 I think. Not super clean, but looked solid and unmolested. Don't know if he's sold it yet.

I think the for-sale thread has been purged, but dfinnegan71 is the guy that had it listed, maybe send him a pm and see if he's still got it.

This one's good:
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/mcy/2631806608.html (http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/mcy/2631806608.html)
(copied for when the ad expires):
1978 Honda CB750 F
Clear WI title, asking for $800 or best offer.
SATURDAY ONLY....$400 measly dollars. Seriously.
I'm just going to be honest, this bike is a piece of sh*t. I've ridden it 5 or 6 times this summer, and never without a headache. I'm tired of fighting with this b*tch and I want it gone. If I have to look at it sitting in my garage for one more week, I might just smash it to bits with a sledgehammer.
The problem is, my f*ckhead buddy thinks he's a mechanic. It was his bike before it was mine, and he basically screwed up everything he ever touched on this bike. I got it in trade for some construction work and have spent my summer fixing his mistakes. I got it in May, and after a month of spitting, sweating, bleeding, and cursing, I finally got it running but every time i took it out, I ended up calling someone for a ride. (Note: I'm not a mechanic either, but at least I damn well know enough not to f*ck with sh*t I know nothing about.)
Problems:
There is a short somewhere in the charging system and I can't find it and I'm not looking for it anymore. There are a few other electrical gremlins, like a connector that needs replacing in the headlight area, a fried starter relay, and I think it needs a regulator/rectifier.
The carbs need to be rebuilt. I have an extra set that I will be happy to give to the next poor bastard that owns this c*nt.
I has a crummy rattle can paint job. (Another nice touch from my retarded friend.)
Various dents and dings, it's 30 years old.
It leaks oil. Everywhere. I'm sick of cleaning it up.
It needs a complete set of gaskets. See above.
Good stuff:
It's not a lost cause, I just don't want to make the beast with two backs with it anymore.
It's complete, so it would be a good candidate for restoration.
Even with the bad paint, it looks pretty nice. The chrome is shiny and there is no rust, I've kept it very clean.
750's are fast and fun to ride. I have seen some very nice cafe projects done with bikes just like this one.
The tires are pretty new, so is the battery.
It has a nice aftermarket 4-into-1 pipe that sounds great (when the sl*t actually runs).
So, maybe you're a Honda nut and a good mechanic, and you want to do a project over the winter. Maybe you'd like to build a nice cafe racer. Hell, maybe you're just an a$$hole with $800 who likes to punish himself, I don't really care. I just want this f*cking wh*re out of my garage.
(I know it says $800, but I'd probably take $400 if you just come and get it the hell out of my life.)
I'm interested in trades. I'll put some pics up tonight when I get home. The photo I added is NOT the bike in the ad, but it is the exact same model and year. Just a pic I lifted from the interweb.

From the add:
QuoteThe bad news: the engine just started acting up on me and is not running right. It ran perfect for approximately 40 miles after I got it back from Duc Pond, but now is popping, sputtering, misfiring, and boggind down. The bike will start now and can be driven down the road, it just doesn't have full power. This problem started in Old Town Alexandria, and ran well enough for me to make it back to Arlington, VA. I'm tired of sinking money into this, so my loss is your gain.

The stock KX engine is about 11tybillion times better than the XR mill. Its a total hoot. We've got a pimped KX100 that's a total blast to ride. ~25hp to the wheel in a 150lbs bike with low gearing, great suspension and great chassis [evil] The KX80 wears decent sized wheels as standard. You can go up to supermini size wheels if you add the long swingarm from the KX100, but the difference isn't huge. Larger wheels than that would probably screw up the handling, bog down the motor and would take major frame mods. The tires on the stock 100 leave black marks on the underside of the fenders at full suspension compression and the fenders can't easily be raised without welding up a taller subframe and swapping on big-bike forks.
Trials bikes are huge fun, really huge fun. Also quiet and don't need much space. You can get up to tons of shenagains in surburban lawn or driveway.
Procycle sells a 780cc kit for the DR650SE. Combine that with a 41mm FCR and you'd have a big old DS that'd move pretty near as well as a stock KTM 690. [evil]

I hadn't looked anywhere else on the site yet and figured it is/was probably posted elsewhere here....
This is probably already somewhere on the site:

You want it..... but (Kern County)
You can't have it.
Your wife won't let you.
Your girlfriend says it's unsafe. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Knock ...knock.....
"who is it?"
"We're men.... and we're here to take back your mancard."
This bike is not just a bike.... it's a muse.... it's a teleportation device.... hell, it's even like a bad assed medical tool. I once rode it by some guy who was constipated, just hearing me downshift from third to second emptied his bowels. I shit you not.
Hear that noise? That's not a dry clutch...that's a chick whistle. I'm tell'n ya...those Italians got that chick shit down. I left the exhaust stock because my buddy Phil upgraded the exhaust on his and I saw an elderly couple bust into flames when he bliped the throttle. (I have a conscience....that and I hate the smell of burnt flesh, so I left the cans alone.) It's got some carbon fiber stuff on it too, because carbon fiber is bad ass. Chuck Norris' beard is carbon fiber. Johnny Cash's suit was carbon fiber. Neil Armstrongs left arm is carbon fiber...... and we all know how bad assed that shit is. (Lance Armstongs ball is not carbon fiber..... but his bike was)
So.... you're asking yourself..."whats it like... riding a bike/muse/teleportation/badassed medical device like this? It's f'n AWESOME! Obama/Biden stickers melt off cars.... gravity dissapears around hot chicks undies....puppies weep..... people pay to be your facebook friend..... the Maricopa police dept. pulls you over just to get your autograph and thanks you having graced their tiny town with coolness the likes they've never seen.
If you're thinking about buy'n a Harley and have bought into that whole "chicks dig cruisers" thing....ask yourself .... when was the last time you saw Dan Haggerty get'n laid... hell... when was the last time you saw Dan period? The dude lived with a bear. Bears are cool and all..... but I'd rather be bang'n Keira Knightley than some bear. (google Keira Knightley Ducati.... you'll see what I mean)
What do you need to purchase the afore mentioned coolness?
Balls...
A valid state class M license....
Money.... 10k obo
And.... a willingness to step outside the "me too bike" box.
(you might also want to bring towels..... as the ladies tend to moisten up around the bike)

Nope. Motowheels sent me two jackets to use as a sizing guide, as no one around here stocked the model that I was looking at. I Figured I'd do them a favor and see if anyone local just wanted to buy it instead of them paying to have it shipped back out to California.

Service intervals on the Bimota are a pregnant dog
Yeah but you could probably re-build the top end in less time than it takes to adjust valves on a ducati. Two strokes are wonderful things. I've literally put a top end in my husqvarna race bike in less time than a buddy managed to spend trying to change oil in his KTM LC4 [laugh] Also, for whatever reason my two strokes' top ends have been outlasting sped'd replacement intervals by a factor of 10 (and I sometimes win races on them, so its not that I don't ride them hard enough). Not saying the V-due would be totally practical, but I'd have one in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

Interesting that one, maybe it actually handles. I'd volunteer to go get it, can you say Auto Train? ;D - Gene
the only things that I wonder about with that bike is the fact the the rear wheel looks to be rather anemically narrow, especially in comparison to the B-King front end with what looks like a healthy 120/70/17 front....

I've found nearly perfect machines with a minimum of drop damage for around $2500. Of course, some people still want to get $5000 for a middle condition model. I imagine they think their shit is gold too.

Plus the bike is either dirty or has rust on the fork tubes. If you're going to list it with super-bold font and exclamation points you should probably spend a few minutes making it look like you actually treated the bike well. My guess is it sat outside for a bit and then the person windexed the plastic before taking pics.

Well, that price is between KBB trade-in and retail values and it *is* 16 years old, so not abnormally low. That said, still a great price for a great bike provided it is in excellent shape with low miles.

[laugh] I owned a couple of those and my dad had a third. Lots of low-mid power, no top/overrev, loads of vibration, pistons tend to fragment (but bottom ends are bulletproof and the wiseco in the linked bike should hold up ok, mine did), don't handle very well. I got better laptimes at budd's on my 125s and worked half as hard doing it I think, was faster still on a 250, but more work than the 125. The 500 was big fun in a straight line. The KX500 has a significantly better motor, but an even more archaic chassis. I think these things best suit large, lazy riders who can't be bothered shifting or nabbing the clutch. The 500 pulls so hard off the bottom you can start in any gear. I usually left the line in 3rd and didn't have to shift all the way to the first turn unless the start was really long. It pulled 4th gear starts just fine too :o . They are also an absolute blast in the dunes, but the chassis doesn't soak up really hard landings like a modern(ish) bike so make sure to hit a good downslope.
If I lived near big dunes I'd have a KX500 motor stuffed in a stiff aluminum chassis. [Dolph] On anything other than sand or loam it'll be hard to keep up with a current 450 in a straight line as the 450 hooks up better.

getting a crew cab dually with a long bed?
buy a ladder
Yeahhhh, I don't have $60k+ to drop on a pickup.
I found a nice used 04 Lariat crew cab with the long bed and a cap. It had the egr delete and the other appropriate 6L issues dealt with.
The short bed is more to my liking .......haven't driven a long bed crew cab. The thing is a beast!

Just saw a youtube video of one of these for sale: I wish they made an SUV based on it! With a smaller 3-4 liter turbo diesel engine for decent mileage, and about the size of the Ford Explorer. Wonder if an engine swap was possible... [evil]

the 350 is just too damn big. If you need more than an F250, then you should be looking at something like a Unimog.
Not really on the size, the 250-450 are all physically the same size and sit on roughly the same frame (except for dual rear wheels on the 450 and optional on the 350). Main difference between them is spring rates, final drive gearing and that sort of thing. You basically just pick the stiffness based on how much weight you wanna tow. My dad uses a 450 for pulling his toyhauler. I use a 250 for pulling my box trailer full of dirty bikes ;D They don't physically get any larger until you get into medium-duty trucks (F650+ in ford language).
Oh, and unimogs can hardly move themselves - you certainly wouldn't wanna tow a 20k lbs trailer over the rockies with one!
FWIW I'd be really hesitant about buying a 6.0L - just not a very efficient or reliable motor. I'd rather have the gas motor or the old 7.3L, either of which shouldn't cost any more than the 6.0L. The current PSD seems quite good, though it is still pretty new.
The duramax isn't bad and the 5.9 cummins is great (but comes wrapped in a not-so-great truck).
I'm pretty positive swapping a smaller motor into an F350-sized truck won't get you any more mpg. It 'll still take the same amount of energy to move that much weight and push that much wind. The big diesels are quite efficient in terms of hp/lbs of fuel. Also there are hardly any decent small diesels in the states to swap in. A small, modern, efficient diesel in a lighter and more aero truck could be cool, but honestly as good as modern DI gas motors are I think diesel makes less and less senses these days except for towing huge loads. Jeep put a little diesel in their little SUV. It didn't sell well, was sorta crapy and mpg didn't blow people away.
The V6 F150 is quite efficient and the ecoboost V6, which is similarly efficient, tows almost like a diesel. That's the direction I'll most likely head if I ever wear out the old 7.3 F250.
Here's dad's tow rig

There is a local contractor, "Rembrant Builders" that has a unimog in its fleet.....impressive machine! They must be making some serious $$s!
From what Ive read the only differences between the 250 and 350 SRW is 4 spring blocks vs 2 on the 250 and standard tire size 265 vs 235 on the 250.
The 7.3 is an undesputed workhorse! Again, from what Ive read, the 6L had some issues that were ironed out with a couple mods. Ive seen several for sale with "new" motors.
A 2hp winch will move stuck things very slowly as well. For that matter so can I with a leverage multiplier. Neither it, me, nor a Unimog is any good at towing in a practical sense. If you wanna crawl up passes at 2mph a 'mog might be ok [laugh] If you wanna run something like the speed limit up a pass (or anywhere) a 'mog won't do it. No matter how cool you look, 80hp won't move a 20,000lbs trailer up a mountain at anything like a normal road speed.
The 6L's issues aren't all easily fixed with basic mods. For one, it hasn't got enough head bolts/studs to keep the cylinder heads firmly attached to the block. Now if you don't mod it and don't push it too hard and are a bit lucky it could last quite well -- it isn't a bad performer.
With all this truck talk, I'm planning on purchasing a quad cab truck next year. I don't need a full size truck but since Ford won't sell the new 2012 Ranger in the States and Dodge discontinuing the Dakota, the compact truck market seems like slim pickings. Ideally, there would be a compact truck option with 3.0L diesel powerplant but I'm not holding my breath.

Found it! Actually reading it made me more frustrated - the cynical part of me thinks the auto manufacturers are reluctant to bring them over here so people like me will feel compelled to buy and spend more truck than I need. The compact truck sales are decreasing because the options are not compelling imo. Hence if compact diesels were offered, sales would improve, I think/hope. If I had a need for a full-sized truck, I wouldn't mind purchasing one but since most of my commutes are in Nova and DC, a big 'ole truck is a disadvantage for me. Basically I want a mini Turbo Cummins diesel quad cab with a 6 foot bed. Maybe it's a good sign that Chevy has stated they will sell a diesel Chevy Cruze in the near future.

I would be fine with an F150 with a diesel. Something like a medium sized V8 or even a large V6. They had some plan to use a 4.3LV8 for the 150 and then it disappeared.
"Ford F150 Diesel delayed.." (from 2009).. yeah, no shit.. delayed until the 32nd of Never.

It's funny (for lack of a better word) how in Europe cars like the VW Touareg, like Land Rovers, mostly come with Diesel engines and yet there's pretty much nothing here in the US.
And I don't believe it's a matter of demand, that's bull! VW will throw a gasoline Jetta (or Golf/Rabbit) at you, but you pay premium for the diesel engines, IF you get one. How do I know? I tried (and failed :-[). Used cars aren't much better, the only reasonably priced diesels were old Mercs from the 70s & 80s.
I'd love me a Tiguan (or any small SUV) with a TDI. But for now the closest I can come to it is a Land Rover Defender (or Disco, or Range) with a coversion: http://www.eastcoastrover.com/Tdiconversions.html (http://www.eastcoastrover.com/Tdiconversions.html) We'll see in a couple years...
Part of the reason is the tax scheme for fuel is different in Europe. Pump diesel is also very different, in Europe, it is something like 55 and 65 cetane, in the US it is 40 or 45. Euro diesel is subsidized in most countries so the price is competitive, and most is actually synthetic or synth-enriced.
There are some differences in the fuels that allow the engines in Europe to be a bit less complex in their emissions systems.
That being said, it wouldn't take much to up the cetane and formulations here, it would just knock the price up even more. diesel road taxes are already 50-75% highter than gasoline. i
We got the diesel Toureg, it didn't sell all that well. I think diesel cars here are sort of a grass-is-greener thing -- folks say they want them 'cause we don't get most of them, but when actually available few people buy them. Our current diesel fuel is pretty crappy and more expensive than gas. Combined with more expensive servicing its really hard to save money with diesel and if its a close call why put up with the narrow power curve, annoying/smelly refueling etc., general lack of power, etc. that usually comes with small diesels? Gas motors are getting more efficient all the time, a smallish, turbocharged DI gas motor is the way forward for most cages imo. Big diesels will still rule for heavy towing for quite a while, but they don't make a ton of sense (unless subsidized) in small things. I lived in the UK for a while and can attest to the crappyness of all their little diesel cars.
One other thing to note, those super-high mpg figures you see quoted for UK spec cars are high in part 'cause they've got bigger gallons and in part 'cause they test them differently.
Once you load them down with all the US safety and emissions stuff and fill them with US spec diesel fuel the mpg figures won't be so astounding.

The mpg difference in imp gal and us gal is about 15%. The Toyota Yaris in UK gets 58.5 mpg (imp) and 49 mpg (us).
Their "combined" test cycle is about the same as EPA's. Their urban test is different and yields a lower number.

Interesting. I was talking with my Norton guru and he said he knows a guy who's exporting British bikes to Russia (or rather, he's a guy who packages things up for a Russian importer). Seems to be a trend here - a while ago it was the Japanese bringing containers full of stuff back from the States and now it's the Russians. Shows who has the money right now. Also shows how hard it is to import via normal channels into Russia. Same friend was talking to another dealer who said they were getting requests all the time from Russia, but they couldn't sell directly and had to direct callers to a middleman. The one thing they *could* send was t-shirts, but no hardware.

With '07 and older it seems hit or miss. I know of a few that lost cranks between 30-45k miles and a few that went past 100k with no issues. I've not heard of an 08+ model with any engine-wear related issues (new crank, oiling system, etc. in '08). Also the '08+ engine gets a much-needed 300-extra rpms on top (revs to 7,100 rather than 6,800 [laugh])
That is a cheap one though.
Yeah - before I got mine I researched them, and there were more than a few random and often expensive problems plaguing especially the 2006 model. The later ones (as one would expect) evolved to fix most of the issues. Sadly the "Owned by HD" issue couldn't be fixed before it broke all of Buell.

I'm selling my DR to lighten the load for an impending move. It is a 1994 DR250SE with 15,xxx miles. I bought it a few years ago from an advrider member with 1,2xx miles and my wife and I have since used it as a city runabout and dirt road tourer. The state inspection is dead 'cause I haven't been using it since spring--happy to get it inspected if you like.
Price is $1,250
It is all stock except for:
1. A 4.25 gal, dual petcock Acerbis tank, also it improves the ergonomics and makes the bike notably more comfortable on the road.
2. Tag aluminum bars and MSR aluminum handguards,
3. Promoto billet rear rack (a very nice bit) and JCW 46 liter top case (givi V46 knock-off, totally waterproof).
4. Jet Hot coated header -- this keeps heat off your leg, looks better and keeps the pipe from rusting. In theory it probably adds a little bit of power too.
5. Baja designs rear turn signals
6. Wal mart butt pad, mostly just to protect the seat, its in poor shape, but the seat is essentially perfect
The tires have probably 55% tread in the rear and 65% in the front (I didn't measure, just guessing) and are Pirelli MT90A/Ts. Chain is a DID 520 ERV3 (best chain made imo) on steel sprockets. I'd guesstimate about 3-4k miles on them, they are in great shape.
It is in mechanically excellent shape, starts right up, runs well and is well-sorted. It has been ridden in all types of weather and dropped a few times (no major crashes though) so it has the surface corrosion on fastners etc. and scuffs here and there that you'd expect on a dual sport. It won't be confused for new, but doesn't look bad. Airbox, carb, etc is all stock. It runs well as-is and gets great mpg. That with the big tank gives it excellent range. The clutch and throttle cables are new.
Just general info about these bikes, the DR250SE and DR350SE are essentially identical except for bore/stroke. The 250 gets more compression, rpm, lower gearing and more ignition advance to help make up for lack of displacement. The 350 has more grunt off the bottom and peak power is pretty much the same (I owned one of each for several years). The 250 is smoother and zippier on the street and dirt roads and uses a touch less fuel in my experience.
With the 6-spd gearbox and current gearing it will do trail work and such just fine and has the legs for a very relaxed, smooth and all-day comfortable 55-60mph cruise. It'll go quite a lot faster, but then isn't as relaxed and gets just a bit buzzy, but still much better than most small bore thumpers.
Factory street legal dual sport, all the dual sport stuff works, clear title. It is a great bike for local stuff or longer trips. I've done lots and lots of commuting and also have ridden it from Boston to DC via a westerly, 600+ mile route and NYC to DC via a similar westerly route.

I'm selling my DR to lighten the load for an impending move. It is a 1994 DR250SE with 15,xxx miles. I bought it a few years ago from an advrider member with 1,2xx miles and my wife and I have since used it as a city runabout and dirt road tourer. The state inspection is dead 'cause I haven't been using it since spring--happy to get it inspected if you like.
Price is $1,250
...
you forgot chromed rear view mirrors! that's a huge plus if you post on a cruiser-lovers forum! [laugh]
GLWS.
haha, those are OEM baby! they actually work great too [thumbsup]
Looks like a fellow from ADV is going to take it, but deal isn't quite done yet. [coffee]
This might pay for a Micron full exhaust for the Buell [cheeky]
helluva deal....would love to scoop it up....I am kind of surprised it doesn't have the kickstart as well as the electric push button for that vintage since most DS bikes of that time period seem to have both....
Yeah Suzuki and Honda both got on a no-kicker-kick in the 1990s. You can bolt one on though, there's a rubber plug in the case where the kicker goes. About $200 in parts I think (kicker, kicker shaft, idler gear and return spring).

just seems to me, for one of the usages I would use a machine like this for, I might tend to put a hurting on the battery and therefore want to kickstart as a back-up instead of trying to bump start it....
Its possible I suppose, but the starter and battery are way overbuilt for the little 250 motor (which also has an auto-decomp mechanism). I've never had a starting issue with this one or my high compression DR350SE (which has the same starter and battery). Anyhow, easy enough to add the kicker if it makes you feel good. I can't think of a Japanese dual sport off the top of my head that has both, though one probably exists. KTMs usually have both as do most Husqvarnas. The current husabergs are e-start only. Of course for a long time the KTMs really needed both as the e-start didn't often work [laugh] Modern off-road only Japanese bikes have both (CRF-X, KLX450, etc), but they also use really small batteries and starters to save weight.
ooo an Acerbis tank!
>shudder<
Acerbis dirt bike tanks work great, they are totally different from the crappy ducati-spec tanks. Not paintable though. [thumbsup]
I know, they are layered HDPE. I think they are coated as well.
The bike is available again, the buyer from adv flaked.
Whatever the tanks are, they work well, I've owned probably a half-dozen of them (more if they make the oem plastic tanks on my off road bikes). Pretty much every dirt bike from the late 1970s-present has had plastic tanks and I've not seen a one with issues. This acerbis seems to be made out of the same plastic stuff that they make all the other dirt bikes from -- light, fairly flexiable, extremely durable, but not real shiny, not paintable and stickers won't stay stuck for very long.

it's layered HDPE and it's 100% fine for dirt bikes. they've been doing it for years, they are blowmolded.

You aint kidding. That's an SP model so it's got the extra-good suspension. Plus from the pics it looks in great shape. My personal opinion is that someone who's looking for a project would hopefully pass on this and let someone who wants a rider get it. There's plenty of other messed up ones to chop up. I'm tempted ... but I already have one! (My guess is that it's gone by the weekend)

Street legal? I cant tell, I dont see any signals, though that is a easy fix.
Might not be on it in the photos, but they do have full lights.
But, don't need signals in VA. If you have them, all 4 must work. But you can be legal with 0 on the bike

Dude, I'm doing all the paperwork now. Sad thing is, there's a chance that the bureaucracy will rear its ugly head and I have been warned that worst case scenario, things could take several months.

they handled it late 93-97 with external oil lines. the 98 and up had redesigned internal passages.
it would require some work or using later heads and cover. not a small amount of machining.

It looks like he bought a huge roll of that "hologram" tape and wanted to do something with it.
I've said it before. Why not just take a dump on the bike? It's the same result but at least a dump can be washed off.

That is my idea of a kick-ass commuter. It's (relatively) lightweight, can take a beating should be reliable, has enough poke to deal with traffic and the high seating position helps with visibility (yours and the other cars). A similar prepped 350 or 400 would do as well if you don't spend much time on the freeway. Throw on some low-profile aluminum panniers (laptop in oneside, shoes in the other) and you are ready to go. It's priced fairly.
It almost makes me want to move further from office so I have an actual commute. ;)

The big 'strom is a solid choice, but it is a bit cumbersome and ponderous in the tight-going if any part of the commute is on city streets. My Multistrada feels considerably more nimble. The wee-strom would also be a better option. I rented one in Alaska and enjoyed it. I am not sure what the actual weight difference, but it feels significantly lighter than 1000. That Suzuki 650 likes a little bit of revs and can be an entertaining mill.
My commute is 4 miles with an average speed limit of 30 mph and lots of traffic signals. By the time I gear up, uncover and unlock the bike, open the gate and roll down the drive, I would have already been to work had I taken the cage. Besides, the only fun to be had in such a short, low speed commute is the kind that gets one in trouble. By trouble I mean the hospital or [leo].
I've resisted more than one job opportunity that would have added to my commute, but if the perfect situation comes along
I might be shopping for a beater DR. [thumbsup]

The value is in the heads / carb, he just threw in the rest. Megacycle can resurface the cam. Sadly the used race parts market aint so great. Like they say - the way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a large one!

You are paraphrasing Briggs Cunningham! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_C7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_C7)
"Cunningham's efforts were big news in America. At one point Briggs and his cars appeared on the front cover of Time Magazine (April 26, 1954). The Time Magazine writer, thinking that the operation was financially successful, remarked to Briggs that he seemed to have made a small fortune from his motorsports efforts and asked him how he had done this. Briggs answered by saying "start with a large fortune".
Yeah - it's always funny to see their confusion when you explain to someone that there's either 0$ or token winnings in amatuer racing, just little plastic made-in-China trophys. Even at the professional level there's almost no money. I mean "1000$ dash for cash"? You're lucky if that covers the weekend tire bill.
From what I've seen, most people road-race up until they're good enough to require new tires every weekend and then bow out, unless they're talented enough to have a local shop sponsor them (i.e. sell them parts at cost and maybe give them a set of tires every weekend).

so if you guys remember the 92 DR650 that was in Leesburg for 1200 that I posted back on the 13th of March....
seems the guy that bought it put different mirrors on it and a Tapout sticker on it and jacked the price up from $1200 to $2000 and it is now in Alexandria....and to top it off, left no way to contact him for anyone to inquire about purchasing or beating him up about it...here is the current CL ad link...
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2938531591.html (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2938531591.html)
and I'll bet the new owner hasn't put a speedo on it or have any further clue about the milage....because the previous owner told me as such himself...
Well the TapOut sticker adds at least 300 bucks to the value.

My son sold a 750 tri-color show bike on eBay last year which had relatively fresh tires. Michelin no longer make them and but upon futher investigation he learned that some Brits had solved the problem with wider tires which required minor mods to the bike for clearance. Can't recall the specifics. I was never wild about those tires anyway as the front could push with little warning on the stock Michelin. (Had a 750 Paso Limited) Wider could be good... 8) FYI http://www.wmsbrg.com/ebay/history/88pasoshowbike/ (http://www.wmsbrg.com/ebay/history/88pasoshowbike/)
The issue is the front tire. The rear tire is available as a 130 or 140, i forget the size. But no front tires around that clear the mudguard.
Swapping to a 17" wheel is an option but then you have different brakes and same issue with the mudguard(s)

I generally oppose cannibalizing bikes, but that motor needs to be rescued. It would look nice in a retro cafe. Of course you'd have to move the decimal one space to the left on the sellers asking price to make it reasonable. I like how he tries to justify the selling price by noting that there is a running Indiana on Craigslist in Mississippi listed for $4500. [roll]

Be careful -- that crappy chrome will not look as good in person and it's a pregnant dog to remove.

Crappy chrome, eh? I guess the vision has to change then from a pretty retro cafe to a rattle can flat black rat cafe beater bike. That could be fun, but the simple truth is that there are probably a lot of simpler and shorter paths to that end.

nope, i've never bought from him.
i don't begrudge him his business, there are plenty of bike parters out there. but it really grinds me that he takes perfectly good bikes like this one out of commission. after a certain point, making a bike super rare robs it of value because so few people have them that people stop making parts/etc for them.
So for the heck of it I pasted the listing into Excel and summed it up: $13,720 for the parts listed on there as of today. Sadly, he probably only needs to actually sell half (or even less) of the parts at those prices to exceed what he could have gotten for the bike in one piece. Once he hits the halfway mark, he can deep discount and it will still all be gravy. Those are pretty compelling numbers.
Nonetheless, it offends me (however irrationally) on some level and makes me a little [puke].
That is/was a beautiful bike......painful to watch.

Even worse - he couldn't get 6 grand for this bike, even with all the mods. The 900ss' just don't command top dollar, especially ones that early. Possibly some day they'll go up in value but right now, nope. They are just great bikes. I <heart> mine, so it *is* sad to see one that someone put so much effort into being broken, I mean Nichols flywheel+FCRs+944+everything else.

I know these were produced in smaller numbers and it is a fine looking bike, but it still surprises me to see it getting full MSRP (2 days left in auction). If I had $15K to spend on extra Duc(s), I'd buy these two bikes and have enough money leftover to buy a matching jacket and helmet for each one:

I bought a set of stubbies for $30 and a tire bead breaker from harbor freight for $20. I found I could change a tire with that and a 5 gal bucket without much hassle.
It's the balancing that is more problematic for me.

* Simple to use and inexpensive
* Adhesive balance weights included
* Longer lasting erections
and now I HAVE to get it

Hmmm, my starter relay crapped out and left me stuck in Clifton today. Luckily I found a small patch of downhill to push start the bike. Think there's a Bermuda triangle thing going on with that place. Bunnyman ghost maybe.
I am still on my original tank. :D
What was it that happened to the motor the first time you took that thing out to WV?
And that tank will make a great souvenir after the bike goes on the funeral pyre.

Interesting, though it does look a bit like a toy. Also, I'm not sure how much trust I put in the claims of a person who would consider "Ducati's that were imported for the USA market from 85-96 strickly say Ducati becuase they felt the name was more pleasing to USA buyers" part of a perfectly acceptable sales pitch. :P
"Someone started writing there name in the buyer spot on the title but stopped. I talked to my friend that owns a car lot and he said this is not a very big problem."
I always like bits like this. Not a very big problem for whom? [evil]

This guy always has premium bikes for sale. No bargains - just nice bikes.
He's brutally honest in his ads, too. [laugh]
"This Bimota is ready to go in every way. With the fuel trimmer in place, it can be ridden around almost like a normal bike. I say "almost" since we are still talking about what is really a street legal racing machine. Even with the engine fueling the way it should, the thing is still a handful. The seating position is the most extreme of any streetbike I have ever ridden. With such massive throttle bodies the engine is not very happy at less than 5k rpm. Combine all that with ridiculously tall gearing and you have what could possibly be the most miserable bike to ride in city traffic I have ever tried. But once the traffic clears it all seems to make sense."

Same engine, same pics... One year later.

He probably promised his wife that he would put it up for sale. Had my 748 for sale for a long time until the wife caught on...

Anyone interested in a pretty fresh pair of pilot powers? Typical sizing, 120 on front and 180 on the back. Front has maybe 800 miles, and the rear is something like 350.

how many burnouts do you do per week?
None. Their both in great shape, and still on the bike. I'm having them changed out for Q2s over the weekend, so... I'll send you a pic of them if you want.
By the way, just sent you an email.
Taken a fancy to those Q2's did you now? ;D

3500$ range for both those bikes seems reasonable. That Monster looks really clean ('96 = carby goodness!).
I wonder if by "complete engine overhaul" he meant major servicing and not a rebuild.

Yeah really. I'm betting that the S2R1000 is actually a better bike and I know for sure my 06' S2R1000 is, even if I am asking $1,300 more. - Gene
And considering the HP of the S4 tuned version of the 916 isn't that much over the 1000DS motor, and the S2R1000 has cheaper maintenance he should probably clarify his ad to say which air-cooled monsters he is describing as "wimpy". And maybe his "don't waste my time" comment should also be altered. I'm guessing this is another "I don't want to sell it but I'll pretend and alienate folks" ad.
Good looking bike though!

$5K for this bike is a great price but I highly doubt that will be the final sale price. There's more than a day left so she may go a little higher.

well, it had a title issue as he inherited it from a dear friend that passed away from cancer, but there was no title for the bike...since he just didn't have the time and wherewithall to deal with the hoops for to get it titled, he opted for what seemed the best path for him and asked my help in tearing it down to part it out...I tore it down complete in about 4.5 hours...

OR you can buy the triple tree along with it...though I will advise that your current calipers are probably a 40MM bolt offset and these newer forks ( pretty muc all forks 99 on up) are 65MM bolt offset...just something to be aware of....but he also has the calipers with good pads,lines, and master cylinder still all connected as 1 system...and he also has the front axle and wheel and everything....

I have, but it was through a dealer that sold it through eBay.
Where is the bike, how much, any other details?
I bought both of my current bikes without seeing them in person. Granted, the KTM was new and from a dealer, but I got the SC from the previous (original) owner who was in Michigan. He and I communicated for quite a while before I pulled the trigger, which gave me plenty of chances to feel the deal out and make sure it was all good to go. Where is the 749 located? You might be able to get a fellow board member to check it out for you.
I've bought all 3 of my bikes without in person look overs. Like Ben there was lots of communication, photos and the chance to feel out the sellers. So far I'm 3 for 3 on good buys.
Trust your gut - if something doesnt feel right pay heed to that feeling an eve ready to walk away. There's always another bike. You're not after a collectors items

Been chatting with the owner for a hot second about the bike. It looks like it's in great condition based on the pics but I haven't seen it in person.
Via email he's confirmed that he's the second owner and the first bought it from Battley's (?) but he can't verify. With just over 7,600K miles the one thing that concerns me is the service history. He purchased in October and has only records for the most recent service completed, oil change in May. It didn't get the 6K service and is now due for 7,500 mile service and new tires although he believes the ones currently on will last this season.
Is it worth $7k though. With more than $2K in aftermarket parts I get the sense that he's not willing to drop the price that much.

To be honest, the *retail* for this bike in
excellent condition according to Kelly Blue Book is 6370.00 so this really isn't a deal - especially if you've got to travel to get it. If he could be talked down a grand or so... (the trade-in is $4460 so he'd be getting in the middle). Now maybe of he's got crazy good extras with it, but exhaust, etc. really don't add to the value of a bike (when you're buying anyways :))
My personal feeling is skip the 74X line and get a 99* - more power and torque. There's a nice '99 996 (before things went fugly) on CL for 6500.

for another grand...you can get Gene's VERY WELL CARED FOR and VERY well known S2R1K that has more bits on it and is every bit of awesome and then some over this bike IMHO...
Gene's bike is on my short list as well. Would rather keep the cash in the DMF family just had to investigate. [thumbsup]. Trying to decide between an S2R1K or an S4R......

Thanks for that Zoom and every bit true, except I now have it down to $7,800 and been riding it some so it is at 16K miles, 600, 6K, and 12K service were done on schedule. Ad is here http://www.ducaticlassifieds.com/ads/2006-s2r1000 (http://www.ducaticlassifieds.com/ads/2006-s2r1000). - Gene

I would defer to others about the sound, I think they sound great, someone sent me a sound clip last year with me accelerating on front straight of VIR, with the baffles in, sounded pretty damn good to me. With the baffles out 2 years ago at Mid Atlantic Moto Fest it was measured at 117db, last year only 115db, I leave the baffles in, it actually performs better.
Front shocks have been treated with Race Tech Gold Valve and set for me at ~200lbs, previously before I quit smoking it was 190lbs. BTW those pipes have been polished and treated to have a nice golden hew to them, little trick I picked up from someone, not sure it shows in the pictures. - Gene

This is worth it just as an extra set of bodywork:

Selling off the other parts would be gravy.
A nice Paso still makes me weak in the knees. I had pics of a Paso and 750F1 in my locker in HS and I still love the looks of both. There were two clean Pasos (IIRC a 907ie and a 750) @ Battley's a couple of weekends back when they had the Italian bike/car show. Gorgeous. [drool]
The body parts are indeed worth it but they are only good for the limited version, would be ashame to use them for any other version, since it would require a re-paint. The Paso 907 you saw at Battleys belongs to Mario Patuto. He and I ride together quite often, the bikes are great IMHO. - Gene

Good idea for someone w/ room in the city

I paid about 1/2 that for a bike barn that provides almost no security. Other then the box being butt ugly it's a great alternative to a garage

My friend used to have a bigger version of one of these. I think his was a small shipping container though. It was big enough for a few bikes, and a table and tools. The funny thing is he managed an apt complex in anacostia and kept it in the parking lot.

I never loved the "regular" yellow, but the Acid Yellow on the S2R is far more interesting, esp set off with the black stripe.
I have a 2001 Victory SportCruiser, 1 of only 165 produced in 2001. It is yellow whith white racing stripes and I beleiev there are only 30 in that color combo. I love the combination even thought the yellow is hard to match, I bought a Scorpion Rivet helmet that comes close. Anyway with the Carbon Fiber pieces they made for that bike and that color combo, I love it. But I still don't think it works on most Ducs, although I do love the Superlight colosr combo, yellow with white frame and wheels. Just MHO - Gene

Great deal for anyone with stock rear suspension on an 848. Fixes the factory issue of being too stiffly sprung, assuming the original purchaser wasn't 280 pounds.

"Your Dream Italian Sportsbike- MV Agusta - $7900 (Fairfax, VA)
Date: 2012-08-24, 6:58PM EDT
This is a one of a kind MV Augsta F4. It currently has 4500 miles. This motorcyle was rarely ridden by the last 2 owners. I am the 3rd owner of this MV.
This is one of the most rare motorcyles on the street and in my opinion one of the best looking bike on the street.The four tale pipes and single side swing arm with very exotic blue color rims will make you stand out in any crowd. So if your looking for something no one else has here is your chance to own a very limited edition MV Augusta. All service upto date. The photos below were taken by my phone so they are not high quality. You must see the bike in person. Call now before you miss out 703-302-0422.
Keyword: Ducati, GSXR, CBR, NINJA, 1000CC, Sportsbike"
So I text the guy and here's our conversation for your entertainment:
Me: What year is your F4? Don't think I've seen that paint scheme before. When/why was it repainted?
Guy: 2001 it was repainted because it was the actual one used in the movie irobot for the movie they painted it matte black the previous owner didn't like it 12:30 PM
Guy: and had it repainted 12:30 PM
Guy: It was bought originally in red 12:31 PM
Guy: This bike was show cased most of it's life it had 3 owners and was only ridden 4500 miles I bought it with 1200 miles last summer eve though it's a 2001 12:32 PM
Guy: it's in new condition 12:32 PM

I am pretty sure that I have seen that monstrosity listed before. It would seem hard to forget, but I am partially blocking. It's a defense mechanism when my soul is scarred.
Right now it is showing one bid for $25,950 :o and "Reserve not met"
I do not know what is more absurd; the notion that someone would actually pay almost $26k for that bike or that the seller would have a reserve over $26k.

That is nicely done and with very little modifications.
Eric's bike will not look drastically different from what it looks like now. Only a couple things here and there but nothing like what I did to my S2R. Learned a couple of valuable/expensive lessons with that one

Sprockets and chain are excellent, fluids changed. JD jet kit. Rear tire 50% and front 80%. $1500 or $1650 if you want a brand new Clark desert tank with it.

Wow - that looks like a deal.
Gents,
I am going to be picking up a 2009-2012 and turning it into a race bike so my 2003 is going up for sale. No rush to sell and will prefer a local sale to a CAM buyer and be totally happy. 3500.00 to you guys
Bought in Nov 2011, stripped down, regreased triples, swingarm, replaced wheel bearings. Clutch replaced at this time too. Several track days, Keith Code Superbike School, Jason Pridmore STAR school, and 3 race weekends with WERA. Oil and brake fluids changed/flushed before every trackday weekend/race. Axles greased everytime wheels pulled off. I am extremely particular as a US Marine helicopter mechanic/crewchief for the past 17 years. I don't do shady, backwoods or crackerjack maintenance.
Harness was not cut or chopped up so can be set back to street with lights and blinkers
Details:
2003 Kawasaki ZX6R 12,900 miles
clean VA title in hand
-WERA Tech ready, fully wired, Good Michelin Power One A compound 180/120 tires (4 practice sessions and 1 solo race (16 laps))
-GP Composites upper/lower/tail fairings(super lightweight with quality paint)
-Leo Vince full exhaust, Carbon fiber canister/mount (all springs safety wired)
-Power Commander 3
-Race Tech front end in stock forks (installed by TDC and setup by MRP Motorsports)
-stock 05 rear shock (suspension setup for 190-200lb rider)
-07 front rotors
-stock 03 front calipers, with Galfer SS brake lines and Brembo master off Aprilia RSVR, 10mm yoyodyne caliper spacers and 70mm bolts
-Chinese shorty clutch lever
-Hyperpro RCS steering damper
-Renthal grips
-Vortex adjustable rearsets
-Extra 03 rear rim with Michelin Power Cup B 180 rear tire. (3) WERA 8 lap sprint races
-Renthal 46T rear sprocket, 07 43T rear sprocket

-New extra set of EBC HH pads in package
-Extras: black tail in perfect shape with yellow painted plates, clutch cable, triples, throttle bodies, clip ons, stock rearsets, stock blinker switch, rear axle and other misc items.
Bike has been down on left side and shows on stator cover. Also down on the right side when I bought it and once while I had it. The Vortex rearsets saved the bike in both instances. After the last lowside, I had the forks checked and came out perfect.
It runs great, starts every time, uses no oil, easy to work on and I run 1:20-1:22's at Summit Point main with it on 93.
In picture it shows Vortex clip ons, Nissin calipers, 06 front wheel and BRAKING rotors which I will use for my next ZX6R. NESBA and WERA Tech stickers, and my race numbers will be taken off. Yellow plates will stay on bike. Yellow vinyl on windscreen can be removed.

I am the one selling it....it had a gap at the front I did not like. Mostly I felt it took away from the lines on the tank. If it was on a gray or darker tank it would not have bothered me as much, but on the red it was too drastic of a change in color.

He deserves points for honesty. After looking at his ad, you pretty much know what that bike has been through and can make an offer accordingly.
He could have posted some basic pictures of the bike and said "Adult ridden, well maintained. Bike is perfect. Only selling because I need money for a crab boat".

am I missing something as to why a year older bike is almost $3K more?
The black one does have some more farkles, I see Rizoma rearsets... and it's got less miles. But, not $3 grand worth of difference especially at a year older.

Good looking bike - really like the anthracite / red color scheme. KBB puts it at trade-in / retail for 3450 / 4940 so with all the new bits and just having had service I'd say 4500 is good. Too bad I'm outta room! :)

Probably paid sticker + lojack + ext warranty + tire warranty + taxes + additional fees and is trying to get all his money back on his "investment". Sucks the guy is military and probably got screwed over at the stealership...he just needs to get his license and ride the bike cause he won't ever get 70% of what he is asking.
If he did LoJack and an ext warrant he should at least mention it. Not that it'd make a difference for that price. Sucks to be him.

"This rocket gives you a whole different world with its cool sound and speed." - not if it doesn't start bro. And is the new owner in for a world of surprise when he finds out it isn't a problem with the switch? Maybe. Maybe not. At least he didn't claim his bike was "not for beginners"
That 900SS - that guy put a lot of money into that thing. It's a fair price I'd say (the pipes + wheels must've set him back for sure), but will someone pay that much? I'm not into the color scheme but I'll bet that bike is fun. Nothing some paint won't fix.
this is just kinda sweeet!

Well it *is* an S model, and is a limited edition so I'd say more than that - maybe 12 if it's in great shape (does seem to be) - but KBB shows 10K for retail, so 8K isn't so far off the mark. I guess in the end it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If he does get the asking price, I'm going to start selling some of mine. I'll take 7.5K for my 900SS. Step right up! Ran when parked! Not for beginners!
That Bostrom is a 998S, so it's a pretty sweet bike. Still a bit pricey though. For perspective, I had a guy offer $12.5K on the SC.

"With a top speed of well over 100mph and fuel efficiency in the region of 120 mpg" - cool, although I like a clutch / gears - and 18000 British Pounds is a bit expensive. They have some cool looking armored four wheelers too for when the o-pocky-clipse comes.
The way the engine seems plugged into the frame reminds me of the early (1900) bikes, like the ones where the rear wheel was (leather) belt driven...
I don't mean this in a bad sense, although the frame and rear look straight off a KTM Adventure, and the swingarm looks straight off an air head GS... But what make the bike really cool for me is that I see it as a fork in a new branch of motorcycle evolution. If that makes sense to anyone but me... If not, never mind, here's a pic instead.

Yep - for mine I found SP forks and a shock online for cheap(ish). Still, that upgrade adds $400+ depending on what you find.
Then of course you'll have to put the flat-slides on, which adds another grand but worth every penny.
OK - talk him down $1500!! :)

You're right that keeping it on the road might take some coin, but for those who have the time and money to live the multi-bike life (not me :-[) $4000 is quite reasonable to add a unique show pony to the fleet.

He has had it for sale for over 2 years now. it is seized.
I replied to it in May 2011. i went to look at it that week. i tried turning it, it was frozen. there was an excessive amount of oil on the horizontal exhaust port. i offered him $500 and he told me he would pass.
I don't recall it previously having a barnett clutch on it before and why would he put new belts on it if it is seized?...just asking...

It's the exact same ad, same photo, same guy.
He put "new" belts on it when it was still on the bike 2-3 years ago, and then took the motor off after. I don't know if it is seized from grenading or from just surface rust or something but it was clearly not in perfect shape inside.
so basically you were offering to buy it for what the heads were worth for the most part, being that it should have "V" stamped heads on it...

more or less, but that's about the going rate for one of these older version SS motors when you can't inspect the inside.. and there's oil coming out the exhaust...
the older SS engines had the funky oil lines...
my gut feeling tells me the horizontal head has a bad valve.

From Lou Saif:
Quote"This is the second time this bike has been listed. The first add had some mis-information, the second listing compounds even more bullshit in his story than the first. This is an NCR frame, seat/tank unit and a modified fairing of the same 'kit'. That's it. It's not aluminum like his first listing and is not a copy of the Maxton frame. Other than the exhaust and the above mentioned parts, it is a standard pantah. A frame kit and a donor bike at best. Not a 'Scuderia NCR' bike nor do original NCR bikes have anything to do with the new NCR/Poggipolni company. They do build beautiful bikes and have the name that they purchased, but that's it. History getting twisted again for financial gain. Lou Saif"

You might be thinking of one of the NCR / Poggipolini specials that used the 900SS motor. NCR had one of their 1098 Ti frames on display at MotoGP one year that you could pick up - it was funny to see people's reaction to how light it was. I know I was impressed.
The Superlight was the forerunner of the SS/SP (before the 900SS was split into two versions: the "budget" CR and the SP), and so had carbon fiber bits, lighter wheels, better brakes. I think there are two versions with the first year being the best. They only came in yellow and all were single-seaters.
I guess that's it. I swear I read years ago that the Superlights came stock with a ti frame. But that was years ago, and I've drank a ton since then. Literally.

Not exactly. There was a 900ss before with better than CR features but not an SL. the SL is a special edition SS. The first SS of this generation (LH clutch slave) had a steel swing arm, regular brembo wheels and stainless rotor and no carbon fiber.
The SL was just a special edition. And purists only consider the first version with the two piece wheels to be a true SL - like this one.

Right, I wasn't implying that the pre-SS/CR 900s were the same as CRs.

I see what you said now, you said SS/SP. Sort of yes but the SL was really meant as a race-ish bike with the monopost.
More accurately, the SL is a precursor to the FE -- with the exception of the wheels and the 3-phase electrics, they are essentially the same bike.

I want it, but I really am leery of it... I don't trust the bottom end, and it's a '92 which means before they fixed the oil pressure issues (the older 2v had external oil lines for a reason). Also, he's used the same photo for the last 2 years, so I have no idea the actual condition. Rotting in a garage? He originally listed it for 850, it's just too much for an unknown. With a pair of heads, I can inspect the chamber and valves. This, I have no idea.

It will, but first weekend in June I'm off to Aussie-land so that's out.
I did order a Brembo radial master cyl for it and new tires for the Summit Pt track day on the 13th but now it looks like rain, so it'll have to wait. I should paint the new bodywork first anyways.
Oh and I got a new spring from Ohlins. Turns out when I was told "you've got the lightest spring they make" that really meant "I didn't check the spring at all and what's on there is a stock spring for a 1000SS. </grumpy>

Funny, it seems Ohlins USA in NC screwed up the initial preload setting on my spring really bad...about an extra 8mm or so. It was like a riding a brick. Mark at Markbilt got the rear all sorted at SP with NESBA before the races. It was so bad I had to drop the front end 5mm to get it to turn again.
I will be at SP with NESBA on the 24th....they have some good pricing this yr. Come on out and run I class with me .

The Excalibur is certainly nothing to get excited about, but at least is an improvement over the original. The Indiana 800RR actually looks ok and is a respectable effort.
I hereby challenge someone on this board to rescue that poor Excalibur from itself....

I own an ST3, which in my opinion is a more useful motor for the type of riding most do, but the ST4 is a very good bike. This bike looks like a fair deal, since it is an 02' model it has the more rounded style fairing that many prefer over the restyled more angular bodywork starting in 04'. Not a lot of miles on this bike, I'd want to see the service records. The Blue Color was a standard color for that year. The ST series are great bikes and speaking from my own expereince you will find them almost as good as a Monster on a back twisty road. A perfect trip for my ST3 is to Indy GP, 1st day twisty roads through VA/WV/OH, then last ~250 miles on super slab on the 2nd day. But the last couple of years I've also taken it to Barber twice each year on the back twisty roads of VA/NC/TN/GA/AL including diamondback, dragon, cherola skyway. It's also a great 2up bike. I've ridden the bike to the races at Road America and Road Atlanta and Springfield Mile over a long weekend, had fun and was comforatble. I have much more nice things to say about the ST series but since this is the DMF, I'll stop there. - Gene

At sustained high speeds I have gotten that on my ST3 on more than one occasion the fairing works at speeds above 75MPH. There are stretches of interstate going out to Road America, Springfield Mile, and I-81 in TN that running at those speeds is possible. - Gene

True but I cannot tell the difference in the picture from the Blue color Ducati used, still a fair question to ask why it was repainted. - Gene
Always like the look of those ST3s... mmmm
I still can't figure out why the ST3 was a market failure. The first wave of reviews seemed to suggest that it was the best of both worlds; most of the grunt of the ST2 with most of the top end of the ST4. That seems like a recipe for a success, but the ST3 disappeared very quickly and the desmotre was never to be seen again in any model.
The ST3 lasted longer than the other versions, finally disappearing in 2008, so 4 years. I think one of the reasons is the Sport Touring market in not really what the name implies, in this country at least. Americans seem to want sexy Superslab bikes, with luggage, and capable of an occasional back twisty road. All the current offerings in this category need to go on a major diet IMHO. I think the same is true of this fascination with Adventure Tourers, most may be capable of some off road stuff but very few ever see a dirt road let alone some single track. Now explain the sale success of the MTS1200? To be honest if it was not so damn tall I might consider selling my ST3 to get one. - Gene

Donnie can't lower one for you? What about the Diavel Strada?
No on lowering and I don't see the Diavel Strada as a replacement for the ST3. I have ridden ~550 miles on a Diavel over 2 days, it's a nice bike but not something I would want to do a long distance tour on, you are locked into a seating position. The seating postion is not exactly correct, the pegs need to be moved a little. I had hopes for the Hyperstrada but it's just as tall as the MTS and it is actually worse because they mounted the bags higher than the seat, good luck getting the legs of my 30" inseam on/off without dragging on the bags. Meanwhile my ST3 is still fine, light, fast, comfortable - just wish it had the service interval of the newer bikes. - Gene
4 years? I had no idea the ST3 lasted so long. That's nearly as long as the 6 year runs of the ST2 and the ST4/S.
I'm with you on both "sport-touring" and "adventure touring". To me, the K1600, FJR1300 et al are sporty Gold Wings, not sport-tourers. I recently bought a MTS1200 to replace a first gen Multistrada and I bought both as sport-tourers in the mold Gene suggests. I want a bike that carry hard luggage easily and won't beat me up on the way to the twisties, but when I get there I don't want to wish I was on another bike. Both my first gen Multi and my current new 1200 fit that bill.
As for "adventure touring", I think dirt roads are to be generally avoided. That being said, when I do end up on a road with less than ideal surface conditions I do like the fact that the Multis (old and new) get much less out of shape than bikes with a more traditional sporting stance.
As for the success of the Multistrada 1200, the motor is a big part of it. The Testastretta 11 is a great motor. It's so great, people even buy it in the Diavel package. [laugh] Beyond that, it simply is a great overall one bike solution. Before I test rode one, I was concerned that it the bike had tilted a bit more towards the touring end of the S-T spectrum. The reality is that it is superior to the old bike from a touring comfort standpoint, but it loses little to nothing on the sport side. Despite being a bit roomier and gaining 40+ pounds, for me it is as nimble on tight technical roads as my 1000DS.
Just a note that I have a 32" inseam and once my 195# butt settles the suspension, I can flat foot the Multistrada 1200 on level ground. I think it can be lowered an inch, so if you haven't tried riding one, you might be closer than you think. Of course that's once you're on the bike. Even with my 32" inseam, it does take a bit of effort to swing the leg up and over in the first place.

- Anyone know who that is?
It looks like he's running the stock Scorpions. I would not recommend that. The Scorpions are actually a surprisingly good general purpose street tire, but they do not offer the outright grip of some of the other sport-touring tire options out there like the Road Smart II and certainly are a full two steps behind supersport tires. I would say I am only a moderately aggressive or fast street rider and I have found the limits of the Scorpions more quickly than previous tires.
There are some great Youtube videos out there of Multistrada 1200s on the track, eating sportbikes alive.

True but I cannot tell the difference in the picture from the Blue color Ducati used, still a fair question to ask why it was repainted. - Gene
So i've been emailing the guy about the bike. He claims to have painted it because he didn't like the old color so he had it done. Hard bags have also been color matched.
Belts havent been changed in 10k miles which is scary. I think if he'll drop the price to cover a valve/belt service it might be worth it.
Decisions...

not sure what hapened to his old bike...after he passed, I know she sold it to kind of not have that reminder pain sitting there for her...then again, I also wonder what happened to Bill B's old blue 99 M900 City that he had nicely modified...last I recall, it was being resold at that Yammy/Triumph dealer that used to exist in Winchester...
Geez, I love the S4 and would love a Senna.
I need to sell two more bikes before the Mrs lets me pick up another. Garden shears ... testicles... yep.
I'll sell you my SS900, Senna version. It even has some track bodywork picture is on the DucPond site. I like the bike and Donnie did a good job getting it right for this slow old dog. But I'm still not as comfortable on it as I should be, even with the seat leveled and the risers on it I'm not able to get my eyes/head where I want them on some of the sections at VIR. The first time I rode it was at Barber and it seemed okay there but then I did the 2 days at VIR and I'm not sure, I have an issue with my neck, caused by too many years of looking down at a computer screen. - Gene

Yeah yeah. The problem is space. You don't know me, do you? I have 10 bikes in the garage now. 5 are running, perfect riders. The other 5 are either future projects or in-progress projects. I also have a huge huge huge array of parts that I've accumulated over the years. Before marriage and before kids, I managed to go to Italy 1-2 times a year and would buy up stuff at the swap meets there. Ship it all back. I've got brand new NOS stuff that would make your heart tremor if you like late-70s thru mid 80s ducatis, cagivas, fantics or benellis.

Yes, I've considered that, however, the issue is also the space constraint. 10 bikes and 22 years of parts hoarding is not a small space.

if anyone is seriously interested in a Cagiva Gran Canyon....I am seriously interested in selling mine....and for much less than that one....
Out of curiosity, I'd love to hear more details. Not sure the wife will let me get another bike but who knows.
it is a 1999....I'll pull the exact milage off the bike but I think off the top of my head I am about 57,000ish kilometers....I have the Nonfango hard bags ( all 3) but currently have a Givi knockoff topcase on it due to me having half of a key break off in the lock of the origional topcase...it has the tall windscreen installed on it, but I have the short one stored away...I lost the origional bars that I took off of it in one of my moves after I installed the Pro-Taper bars on it for my own ergonomic preference....I have also installed a cupholder ( laugh all you want, but the coffee at work sucks, so it was used for picking up my morning coffee on my way in and sustained me quite well in that fashion).....the rear mudguard that wraps around the tire is not on the bike as it is broken...screws that hold it in place vibrated out on a long ride back from Charlotte, NC and it broke in that process, I kinda did a quickie temp thing for the remainder of the ride and then took it off when I got home with the intention to see about fixing it.
common issue of the regulator/rectifier harness connector that usually melts was addressed and sectioned out and rewired with fresh heavier wiring from almost front to back...the fuel quick disconnects are in good condition and not leaking at all...I had them replaced with new when I got the bike origionally...had to reseal one of the tanks quick disconnects with new viton orings about 2.5 years ago when I had the tanks off to do that R&R rewiring....bike was origionally gone through by Donnie at Ducpond when I 1st got it and I had him install the MBP collets and gave the bike a thorough going through and gave it a clean bill of health...the battery was replaced about 3 years ago with a good AGM battery as the origionally installed Odyssey battery took a dump when the R&R connector issue was starting to revealed itself....starts up with ease...brakes are good...runs like a top...the known issues that will have to be addressed are that the tires don't have a lot of life left, the belts are due to be changed, and it needs an oil change...also there is a chain roller guide bushing that is worn and gone and I haven't gotten around to ordering one since I wasn't riding it, but the guys on the Cagiva yahoo list have posted a couple of sources for it recently with pt# and have been saying there's been no issue with getting it.
as far as $$$.....well....I haven't marketed it yet...but I am looking at an asking of $2500 OBO to make life easy....it isn't a showbike as the P.O. used to ride it in the sand dunes around Jacksonville and had a few scuffs and scratches and scrapes...but all minor and nothing structural....she's comfy on a long ride and no problem riding it like an ADV bike while standing on pegs.

common issue of the regulator/rectifier harness connector that usually melts was addressed and sectioned out and rewired with fresh heavier wiring from almost front to back...the fuel quick disconnects are in good condition and not leaking at all...I had them replaced with new when I got the bike origionally...had to reseal one of the tanks quick disconnects with new viton orings about 2.5 years ago when I had the tanks off to do that R&R rewiring....bike was origionally gone through by Donnie at Ducpond when I 1st got it and I had him install the MBP collets and gave the bike a thorough going through and gave it a clean bill of health...the battery was replaced about 3 years ago with a good AGM battery as the origionally installed Odyssey battery took a dump when the R&R connector issue was starting to revealed itself....starts up with ease...brakes are good...runs like a top...the known issues that will have to be addressed are that the tires don't have a lot of life left, the belts are due to be changed, and it needs an oil change...also there is a chain roller guide bushing that is worn and gone and I haven't gotten around to ordering one since I wasn't riding it, but the guys on the Cagiva yahoo list have posted a couple of sources for it recently with pt# and have been saying there's been no issue with getting it.
as far as $$$.....well....I haven't marketed it yet...but I am looking at an asking of $2500 OBO to make life easy....it isn't a showbike as the P.O. used to ride it in the sand dunes around Jacksonville and had a few scuffs and scratches and scrapes...but all minor and nothing structural....she's comfy on a long ride and no problem riding it like an ADV bike while standing on pegs.
mileage is 56,688 to be exact.....and that is kilometers...

Another Elefant copy. At least Morini is down the road from Ducati.. or was..
Not so much. The Camel was introduced in '81 and I believe the Elefant came out a few years later. The Camel is actually more of a "real dual sport" and was offered in 350cc and 500cc. The power output of the 501 (mid 40s hp) and weight (sub 350#s) are comparable to, if not slightly better than, an XL650 or a DR650. In general, the Camels competed with the XLs and DRs of the day.
Update: I just did some additional googling and the Elefant came out in 1985, so 4 years after the first Camel. Here's a pic of an '81 Camel 500:
(http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/classic_bikes/moto_morini_camel.jpg)
As you can see it and the later Camels (including the one on ebay) are really more sized and styled like the d-p bikes or even the full off-road 4-stroke enduros of their day. The first Elefants were more in-line with the early GS models and were the at the leading edge of what started as the Paris-Dakar craze and has now become ADV MANIA.

Ahem
Yes, Morini had a bike called the Camel prior to the existence of the Cagiva Elefant.
HOWEVER, the 1984 Camel looked like this:
(http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/moto_gallery/MOTOMORINI500Camel-1142_1.jpg)
... in other words, it looked nothing like the Elefant.
The 1985 Camel looked like this:
(http://www.seismo.com/personal/morini/dual-sport/pics/Camel/Camel%20501/X2/1985%20Morini%20Camel%20501/4b_3.jpg)
However, you seem to have missed the 1984 model Elefant in your googling.. :-)
The Elefant SST 125 was the first Elefant made, and it was introduced in 1983 at the Bologna Moto Show -- Remember that both Ducati and Morini are in Bologna (as well as Malaguti...)
(http://sst125.altervista.org/images/elefant.jpg)
Morini copied the 1984 Elefant for their 1985 Camel design.
To be sure, the 1984 Elefant was a single cylinder, but the copying I was referring to was the "humpback" gas tank and banana seat and extended forks. This was a radical departure from the "scrambler" style of the 1985 Camel (and other scramblers) and was pioneered by Cagiva with the Elefant -- and then was copied by everyone!
A list of enduros by Cagiva:

Note the 1983 Aletta Rossa as well -- with humpback tank and banana seat.

No offense, but I think you're reaching ducatiz. What you call the "humpback tank" and "banana seat" and "extended forks" were styling elements that were simply part of the design evolution for dirtbikes in the 80s. Those cues started showing up on Japanese dirtbikes in 82-83 and by 1984 almost every Japanese, Italian, Swedish, Austrian and yes Italian dirtbike maker had some variation of those. They were not design elements introduced by Cagiva. The assertion that Morini obviously copied Cagiva because they are geographically proximate as opposed to the more likely explanation that both companies were simply following the broader industry trend and not leading it, seems a stretch.

I'm not right about everything! No offense taken!
But I think the best way to support your point would be pics.
I know a lot of bike designs copy from each other, but the earliest humped gas tank (which is there because of the LONNNNG forks) that I've ever seen is the Cagiva bikes. I've seen PLENTY of dirt bikes too, there are dozen brands that were sold in Europe and never made it to the states, like GasGas, Fantic, MZ, DKW, etc.
Happy to have this argument over beers and googling pics! :-)
Phew, I'm not right about everything either, so it's good to hear I am amongst other fallible folk. ;D
As for pics, I'll never tune down an invitation to waste time at work googling and looking at motorcycle pics!
Here's a neat page that shows the evolution of the Suzuki RM 250:
http://www.suzukicycles.org/RM-RMX-series/index.html?RM250-RMX250.shtml~isoraami (http://www.suzukicycles.org/RM-RMX-series/index.html?RM250-RMX250.shtml~isoraami)
You see the transition really start in 1982 when the 250 went liquid-cooled and the suspension travel started to get really long compared to the twin shock era. By 1984, the seat was overlapping the tank and the bike had really taken on the look that characterized dirtbikes for the next decade or more.
This page shows Honda's evolution, which seems to be about a year ahead of Suzuki:

I'm not sure if they fixed their process, but in the past Florida's lax vehicle title policy made it easy to buy an out-of-stage salvage car / bike and get a clear Florida title. Then the scammer would flip them at auctions / ebay / etc. A month after there was a big flood somewhere there'd be a bunch of cheap cars coming out of Florida (and a few other states with the same issue) that had been previously submerged but then cleaned up. There was an article I read about an auction company buying so many cars after Hurricane Sandy that they rented an airport on Long Island to store all the cars (parked them on the runways). Although I'm sure (sarcasm intended) that whoever they auctioned them off to were just going to dismantle them for parts.
Ahh yes. That stirs a memory about their title policies

If you like Custom bikes as collector pieces, this one might be a deal at 5K. It's from Hazan Motorworks and was built by Max Hazan. He is more of an artist but some of his stuff is (visually) amazing, and obviously he like bikes. As you point out it may not be the most comfortable.
The first thing of his I saw was an Enfield Bullet, which was quite the hit:

he's also got a few other bikes in his portfolio which are super cool.

"Looking to sell my 2005 Ducati Supermono in pristine condition. I've taken care of my "baby" and this bike is in excellent condition. I'm in the market for a new Superbike 899 and looking to make some money of this used baby. I'm asking $6300 but willing to go as low as $4800 or OBO. I live in Adams Morgan and have driven this bike to my job in Georgetown for the last 8 years ONLY during the Spring and Summer months with the occasional country road ride."
Willing to sell 1500$ less or best offer? Confusing.
Ridden it to work in DC traffic? The one time I was on the track with a SuperMono it would overheat if idling more than a few minutes, since it's a race bike. Also, since it was sold as a production racer it sold with NO lights, NO sidestand, etc.
Still, if this really is a SuperMono it would be a bad-ass thing to own. If you like old Ducati junk I mean. :)
I'm sure it's a scam - but I emailed the seller just for funzies.
Sure to be a scam - but at least it's an interesting one. Not a Gixer 600 for dirt cheap like the usual ones
Maybe his thought was "If you're dumb enough to buy the idea that I rode a Supermono to work for 8 years, you deserve to get ripped off!"
It has now been flagged for removal, so the gig is up....

There was an s4r up for something like $3.5k last week. Obvious that the seller didn't know what he had. This one seemed a bit more legit. Ok, maybe not.

That's my point. He lists it as an S4Rs when it's an S4R. Plus, it has the desmoquatro motor, not the testastretta the seller claims.

There have been Indiana postings on here before and plenty of discussion on the head-scratching nature of the bike. Nonetheless I am oddly fascinated by and drawn to this generally unloved model. I'm not interested enough to make the mistake of buying one...at least I think I'm not.... :-[
Anyways, this eBay posting deserves special mention for a couple of reasons. Number one, the bike is fairly presentable and the owner has actually "invested" a fair amount of money and effort into the bike. He bought NOS forks from Australia. I can only imagine the Aussie parts guy's reaction "You want forks for a what?? You are willing to pay to have them shipped to the US??" They probably thought they would never sell those forks. Number two, it is one of the better eBay ads I have seen in a while as far as really showing the bike and honestly indicating its cosmetic issues. The "winning" bidder will know what they're getting. I've seen so many bad eBay ad that it is refreshing to see one well done.

It belonged to the owner of Gotham Racing who ran a Ducati 750SS in WERA lightweight in the 90s. He passed away unfortunately and his collection is being sold off. There was also an 851 and a Triumph tourer that were on CL / eBay in the last few weeks. The bikes were in really great shape (I saw them in person) and the 750 racers (bequeathed to his rider I believe) were super cool. One had a cool aftermarket frame (I couldn't tell who manufactured it). Both had all the fancy go-fast carbon bits, etc.
He also had a killer Lotus Elise (modern one). It was sad to see all his cool stuff knowing he wouldn't be enjoying it anymore, but it was nice to see that he knew how to have fun with all the good toys! None were trailer queens and all were ready to ride.
Thanks for the info Tocino. You don't see a lot of 750 Pasos with that many miles, so it certainly got ridden at some point. It's always sad to hear of someone's passing, but good to hear of what was perhaps a life well lived. [beer]

I was thinking the same thing! That guy must have had the patience of a saint to put that kind of mileage on that super quirky motorcycle. Thought it was my first bike until I saw the one owner part.

Ugly? No any MTS is ugly among a few others in Ducati history, but not a Paso. FWIW I get comments wherever I ride my 907, a classic design that started the full bodywork design of the late 80s. - Gene

Well..., really the DB1 which I couldn't begin to afford, so I bought a Limited which was Cagiva's answer. 8) One of my rich Porsche clients had one... :'( BASTARD!!! ;D
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/BimotaDB1.JPG/726px-BimotaDB1.JPG)
As Paul Harvey would have said and now for the rest of the story -
"Tamburini left Bimota after 11 years following a falling out with Morri. In 1985 he joined the renowned Cagiva Group, founded by Claudio Castiglioni. The same year, Castiglioni acquired Ducati. Despite their differences, Tamburini continued to work occasionally with Bimota and styled the DB1 prototype, which used the engine of the Ducati Pantah 750; it was exhibited at the Milan Bike Show.
Tamburini eventually became head of the Cagiva research and development department, and designed both Cagiva and Ducati motorbikes. His first design was the Ducati Paso 750, named in memory of his friend Renzo Pasolini, who died while racing at Monza in 1973. The Paso broke from Ducati's race-influenced F1 styling and brought fully enclosed bodywork to the mainstream. In 1996, Texas Pacific Group bought a 51 per cent stake in the company for $325m, then, in 1998, bought the remaining 49 per cent to become the sole owner of Ducati."
I like the limited but I went for the 907 based on my research, also did not pay a bunch for it. I've ridden it on a few short overnight trips where I thought it fit into the trip such as riding up to PA to do a Retro Tour last summer http://www.retrotours.com/ (http://www.retrotours.com/) . I like my Paso alot and I'm impressed with the fact they made such a bike back in 92' - Gene
I had a poster of Renzo Pasolini on my wall growing up. I've always had a soft spot for Pasos.
I have a Paso Poster in my garage it is a 907 featured in a Killian Red beer poster. Not sure how rare it is, I've not seen another one online. - Gene
I was 16 when the (750) Paso came out and read every magazine review. I was already well bitten by the Ducati bug at that point. Unfortunately my financial situation at the time dictated that I wasn't able to upgrade from my '71 SL100. At least it was red. :-\
MORE IMPORTANTLY....the buy it now is gone and the reserve is off.....bidding is at $1901 with just under 2 days remaining. Who's buying this beautiful machine??

Love the clock and the fuel gauge!

Love the clock and the fuel gauge!
Most disable the clock since it is a major drain on the battery, fine when it is in the garage on a battery tender, not so good on an overnight trip. The fuel guage is usually not reliable at informing you of fuel level. - Gene
Maybe I am jumping to conclusions based on the "quality" of the pics and the fact that the poster couldn't even be bothered enough to put together a single sentence for the listing, but my guess is that the clocks and gauges are the least of one's worries with that bike....
Just providing information, when looking at a PASO these are things to keep in mind. I'm also not aware they made the bike in that color. - Gene
I didn't mean to come across as contradicting your statement. As an actual Paso owner (yes I'm jealous :-[) I'm sure you have a lot more knowledge of Pasos than I do. I was just having some fun at the craigslist poster's expense. For some reason it drives me crazy when people post crappy photos and no text with their ads, especially when their bike looks so sad.
They did make a blue 750 Paso, just not THAT blue. Here's a pic of a blue 750:

$3400 seems an OK price - it's the KBB price for a Monster Dark (which this looks to be to me). Big minus for dent in tank, but on plus side comes with Rizoma reservoirs, Arrow exhaust, stands of some kind, good tires and a cover. Maybe since Winter is fast approaching can be talked down a bit because of the dent?
2000 is first year injected yes? No red-key BS with this model! :)

Speaking of bike sales...
I've been tossing around the idea of selling my '96 900 Supersport CR (the half-fairing model). Engine is stock. It has the California Cycle Works coils and 40mm flat-slides (gotta have the flat slides!). It has the SS/SP forks and shock (Showa I think; 3 way adjustable) plus an aftermarket clutch slave cylinder (don't they all?) and a Sargent seat. Carbon cans (noname aftermarket from eBay).
I got a Guzzi Griso a few months ago and just haven't ridden this and am thinking to maybe pass it on / free up some space so it doesn't die from neglect. Then the other part of my brain kicks the other part and declares it incompetent since I <3 the 900 and just looking at it makes me happy.
Anyone have an idea of what prices these are going for? KBB says 3K, but with the goodies I'd think 4K. No way I'd sell it for 3 grand, not the might 900SS.
What think you, oh CAM-o-sphere?

I'd say a rashed up 1000DS for that! :)
Yes, the 900 got injection in 2000. It's still the older style frame with the hoop rear links
M1000 not easy to find, had the S2R1000 previously, was a little quicker but the plastic tank was very disturbing so I sold it. A M900 is fun, period, and that is why I do track days. - Gene

Good price! - mine was 2700 but it was bone stock, so I added the flat-slides, etc. But as we all know add-ons don't greatly increase the value. A look at eBay completed auctions shows the 3K - 3500 range to be the going rate.

I'm sure most of us have read many stories on this bike:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-Supersport-Ducati-bevel-750-SS-1974-California-Hot-Rod-Daytona-Superbike-winner-1977-/181651205546?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2a4b416daa&item=181651205546&pt=US_motorcycles (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-Supersport-Ducati-bevel-750-SS-1974-California-Hot-Rod-Daytona-Superbike-winner-1977-/181651205546?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2a4b416daa&item=181651205546&pt=US_motorcycles)
It is interesting to see it being sold on ebay and being sold by none other than Ian Falloon. The $1M buy-it-now is also an attention getter. According to this: http://www.gizmag.com/top100-worlds-most-expensive-motorcycles/31958/ (http://www.gizmag.com/top100-worlds-most-expensive-motorcycles/31958/) it would join a VERY short list of motorcycles sold for $1M+ at auction. I wonder how close the reserve is to the buy-it-now price?
Remember it well back in the day. $1M is pretty funny. Doubt this will hit reserve. BMW paid a small fraction of that for Reg's #183 which now lives on display in Munich. 8)
I just wonder wht it's for sale? Seems like a deal could ahve been strcuk with the factory, which is where it belongs IMHO, if not in the Barber museum, which would be my preference. - Gene
Not that it means much with 8 days remaining on the auction, but the price is up over $125k with the reserve not being met. I'm sure most of those are people having fun hoping they don't actually hit the reserve. There are 131 people viewing the auction per hour and 484 people watching the auction, so it is getting the amount of attention one would expect. My guess is there will be a major flurry of activity close to the auction end. Maybe the intent here is to take a moon shot at getting a crazy price. If/when that fails, take the highest bid, tack on a bit and see if Barber or the Ducati museum in Bologna will bite.
The seller is Ian F.
Yes but he is not the owner. - Gene
I don't know and for some reason they are staying in the shadows. Vicki had some thoughts on it on the Ducati.net email list and then Cook himself had some thoughts yesterday on the sale, they both know who the owner is but refer to them as "Owner" no name One of the issues they brought up is what's inside the motor since the owner never runs the bike, so there is some concern about what parts are in that motor and what parts may have been replaced from the winning assembly. - Gene

I know half a dozen bonafide collectors in New York and New Jersey. I don't think any of them had a bike like this. I bet greg rathe knows
Some of you probably already know this, but a bit of poking around the internet reveals that Fred Fitzgerald owned Old Blue at least recently as 2008. According to a 2007 article in US Desmo, Fiztgerald turned down an offer of $600k for the bike.
In the acknowledgments section of one of Falloon's books, the name Fred Fitzgerald appears, so there is some small connection between the two.
21 hours left, 2+ people viewing per second, bidding stalled at $250,000. Let's see what happens at 12:59 PM tomorrow. [popcorn]
Currently at $250K, 18 hours to go. - Gene
Not with a bang, but a whimper...auction ends with a high bid of $250k.
I didn't expect $1M, but I did expect a few last minutes bids and maybe something north of $300k. If an offer of $600k was ever given, it looks like the seller was foolish to turn it down.
As others have mentioned, it would be nice for this bike to end up in a museum. Hopefully this episode precipitates that result.
Yeah I've been watching it for last 2 hours, I have a suspicion on the $250K, sure hope it ends up in Barber assume new blue would be kept. - Gene
I've got a 14T front sprocket that needs a new home. IIRC it fits a 2009+ M696, but it might be for a S2R1000. Or, maybe, I planned a 520 conversion on one of those 2 bikes... Can't recall for sure.

On one hand that seems like a lot of money when a 5 year newer 900ss can go for half the money, but in my opinion this is one of the most gorgeous Ducs ever and its limited numbers make it a true collectible.

Listing has now ended; no sale indicated though. I was always partial to the TT-750F1 series and the 1991-1998 SS's for styling, but there's no disputing that the 1999~2006 Supersports were functionally the best. And they can be had for a song.
No doubt the entire series of TT bikes (TT1, TT2 and TT750F1) are beautiful bikes and undisputed classics. They have been priced as such for a while now.
The 750 Sport doesn't have the racing heritage of the TT bikes, but to my eyes, the lines flow better and it's simply a prettier bike. I am also a fan of the 90s Supersports, but again, the details of the 750 Sport just seem a bit more "right" to me; particularly the tank and rear panels. I'm also a big fan of the paint job, which to my eye is a nice evolution of that on the TT750F1 Montjuich.
I see the 750 Sport as a transition bike for Ducati. It existed in that small space between the hard-edged air-cooled pantahs racebikes of the previous generation and the more practical desmodue roadbikes that were to come later in the decade (Supersports and Monsters). As such, I think it is an under-appreciated classic.
There's a nice 750F1 for sale on Bevel Heaven: http://bevelheaven.com/bikes4sale/MT-750F1/index.htm (http://bevelheaven.com/bikes4sale/MT-750F1/index.htm)
It's a beautiful bike and as an original bike at $21K it almost seems like a bargain compared to a nice restored bevel head supersport. Still, it's ~2.5x the price of the 750 Sport posted. From a collector/investment standpoint, no doubt the F1 is the bike. If you're just looking for a piece of eye candy that can be ridden and give you the same sensations, the 750 Sport looks very attractive.
Just in case anyone wondered, I have NO relation to the seller. ;D

Yeah, the TT series bikes represent the one glaring hole in my personal Ducati desiring/owning history. Destined to remain that way, I'm afraid; at the current prices, I'll never own one. Of course, I may someday build my own replica of the Verlicchi framed original!
Among the TT bikes, the red/blue TT1 is the pick for me. [drool]

The early 90s 900 Supersports with the white frames and Cagiva font are gorgeous. This one is in Maryland. It has a lot of non-original parts, but looks extra nice with the Superlight tailpiece and has no reserve. The tank dent is a bummer:

And sold for $3,701 with 28k miles on it. I'd say the seller did well.
$3700 for a bike with a lot of non-original parts and a damaged tank is a bit high, but '92 Supersports aren't that easy to find, so it's not that crazy. If it was a later TPG era bike, it might have struggled to get to $3K.
That tank dent could be repaired without much effort. The carbs, the ported heads, and the forks should have put that bike in the $4000 or so range.
Plenty of these bikes are selling upwards of 4000-6000 depending on condition.
They are only getting rarer as they are being parted out by whatsisface in Florida. He just parted out a near-mint SP.
I think this one spooked people because of the age and the dent.
By the time I have an extra $4-6k lying around, there will be few of these left and they'll be goin for $15k. Oh well. [drink]
If you've always wanted a Paso, this is about as cheap as it gets for a running example with all of the bodywork clean and intact. It's a 907ie, so 17" wheels make life a little easier as well. The market for these isn't huge, but to me, $2500 is cheap, even for the high mileage:

Pretty nice indeed has the Euro Tailight conversion, correct decals, and what appears to be very good body work. Mine is a 92' and my exhaust has aluminum cover on exhaust can, looks like the 91' did not have that. I enjoy my Paso and it gets more attention than my tricked out M900 does most of the time. The Pegs were a little high but there are some slick drop down pegs available. At that price the bike is a good deal IMHO. - Gene
