Now that my SS track bike is sold, Im looking for a sporty type bike to ride on the street and occasional track day.

999 is on my mind.

Looking for 2005 or newer base model.

There's nothing close to me that's not all hacked up so I'm branching out.

It really doesn't matter where it is in the country.  I'll ship it in.

I've scoured ebay, cycle trader and craigslist and not really come up with much.

I did find a great one about 10 hrs from here but it sold 2 weeks ago :(

Help a brotha out!

I have called about a couple I found that way.

Also yellow isn't an option. Should have mentioned that...

that one is fairly close to me.  that is the second or third craigslist listing that they put up.  each one has less information than the previous.  Pretty sure that one is a salvage title

I'd rather the bike in Rockville to be honest. That paint job really kinda doesn't. But hey just doing as you instructed, helping you find a 999...

The RAM Cycles bike has been for sale about 2 years now. I'd haggle 'em on it. Surely they want it gone.

I saw a couple of nice ones on ebay motors just yesterday. Even a brand new, zero miles Parts Unlimited... if you go for that and a Xerox R model. The PU bikes are "S" models after all and the last of the line.

An '05-'06 is where it's at. Mine's an '05. You hardly ever see an "S" model pop up for sale in those years. For good reason, people hang onto them. All that Ohlins goodness and radial brakes. Better swingarm on the '05-'06 bikes and cleaner look to the upper fairing. No more "jack-o-lantern" vents.

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with the early models either. Just some minor improvements on the later model. Of course that should mean better pricing on the originals if you find a clean one. I know psychedelic/Josh found a real nice clean low mileage "S" model (can't remember if it's '03 or '04) last year at a shop. It had some ECU and some other aggravating issues but they eventually got sorted. Drop him a PM and get his take. I certainly love mine. [thumbsup]

Good luck on the search. [popcorn]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

2 years

what's wrong with it that it won't sell I wonder.

I thought I sent you the link to the one at Ram Kev...  Anyhow, that bike has been for sale for quite some time.  I'm sure they're motivated to let it go...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

You may have.  Your links were from CL and I called the guy with the S, the other one expired.  Maybe this was it?
