Hi all,

Well, I'm going to be relocating to Australia on December 7th so that my wife, daughter and I can spend some time with my side of the family for about 5 years. I am strongly contemplating exporting my bike to Australlia, but am also considering selling it here and just starting aftesh when I get there b/c the shipping costs are about $1,800. It may just be a better option for me to try and sell it here first.

So, here's your one and only chance to buy a 945cc 145RWHP dyno tested total frankenstein bike, that doesn't look like it, and runs on premium pump gas (no additives or race gas required). It's a 95 motor and frame (clear title), with 99 bodywork, swingarm and gauges, 17" F3 front wheel. Anyways, I'll list the specs below. I have receipts for the motor work for nearly $6K alone, and that doesn't include the flatslide carbs which are over $1K on their own. Including buying the bike, the parts, motor work, paint, powdercoating etc, there's probably around $20,000 in the bike (I know you're going "whaaaat?". Believe me, I have added it up and can do it for you too to prove it if needed!!!). You know what it would cost if you had to do these mods to your own bike.

First $7,350 takes it. Title is clean and clear. Consider that stock undamaged 98-99 900rr's sell for around $4400-5000 on Ebay. For all the motor work, carbs, custom metallic paint, powdercoating, F3 wheel, Corbin seat, indiglo gauges, Acumen Digi gear indicator, Pilot Power tires, upgraded braking, solo cowl, TBR exhaust, and all the other cool shyte, I'm only asking another $2350-2950 more (base is dependent on the street price of the stock bikes). Like I said, I have receipts for nearly $6K just for the motor without the carbs!!

Bike has 22,800 miles total, but the motor work was done at 19,000 miles (so only 3,800 on the motor - a lot of it highway). It has a brand new Barnett clutch too. Only Amsoil synthetic oil has been used. Although this is a race bike motor with about 170hp at the crank, it is extremely streetable. It is not cranky or difficult to ride. With a flat torque curve of 72 lb ft at the wheel, there's no way it could be. It has CHARACTER and is very unique. There's no way you'll look like anybody else at that sportbike meet!

Test rides gladly permitted, but only with a $7350 cash deposit in hand! :D

Interested? Please call Simon on 248-961-2300 (EDT) or email: simonrichards@comcast.net. Bike is located in Detroit, Michigan.

Cheers,
Sime

I know that I can get my price easily if I were to part the bike out on Ebay, but it's just too nice to do that.

That's what I am hoping Brent. I mean, the stupid thing is that I could easily get my money if I did part it out, but it seems like such a shame....and a waste. If the bike as a whole doesn't sell, I will take it with me.

Had I not just bought my 929 a couple months back, I'd be all over it... Just my luck... Once again, a day late... :mad:

Sorry Dr. Feelgood! I've been there before too!

Well, if you could ask around for me, that would be great. I'll give anybody who can prove that they made a direct referral to selling my bike (through this forum) a $200 referral fee, but that is NOT somebody from this forum buying the bike and then somebody else saying "Hey, I told him first about the thread!!!". :rolleyes:

If I decide to put the bike on Ebay, the referral does not count. And if somebody from the forum buys the bike directly, well, we'll talk about a little bit of a discount.

BTW, there's just ONE referral fee that I will pay for the ONE bike I have for sale!!!

:D

More than likely going to ship this in about 4-5 weeks, but if anybody is seriously interested in it, I would still consider selling it but only if I get my price.

For $7600 total (only $250 more than what I am asking), I will sell the bike with a complete 954 front end with upside down forks and a brand new BST SP1 carbon fiber front fender.

Cheers.

Very nice machine man...

You powder coated that frame? Is it easy to look after and does it catch scratchs easy? Im thinking of what to do to mine right now?
---polish or powder---

G'day Stealth..yep, she's coming on over! Just received my import approval so I need to arrange the shipping now. Where do you live? Maybe we can get together when I get back home?

Jimmyhat, the powdercoat is awesome. It is way more durable than bare metal (ie polished), and even the clear coated standard frame. I did have my frame polished (what a damn PITA job that was!). but then got sick and tired of looking after it. Scott (Rottie's) black mini-tex coating is the very same stuff used by HD on their motor parts. I highly recommend it. Looks trick too and is easy to maintain!! I absolutely love it!!!

Cheers,

PS> Have you ever tried looking after a polished or chromed swing arm? :eek: I did. NEVER AGAIN!!! NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!:mad: :p
