blackmax Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Just put this on Craigs to test the waters. I know the price is high but it's a place to start. http://providence.craigslist.org/mcy/785377290.html Sorry about the wrong link. I edited the post and forgot to change the link here.

blackmax Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Loser! I'M sorrry, I'm sorry!!! Not jumping ship just yet, just seeing what's out there. Actually just trying to take advantage of the economic downturn. I'm trying to buy a 2007 Tahoe/Yukon on the cheap too, $40,000 trucks are selling for $24,000 and less with low miles. If you've got the cash you can make some really good deals right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmax Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Decided today to actively try and sell my 1997 XX. I really like the C-14 and would like to take the wife along more often so it's up for grabs. I didn't put the paint job on it and I know it's gay but it's easily covered or removed/replaced with another tank. I just couldn't bring myself to destroy someone elses labor. The bike has 43,356 miles on it and I ride it daily so there will be more when it sells. Just put on a new rear Strada 350 miles ago, the front has a couple thousand left in it. I changed the CCT at around 36,000 miles. New parts and additions are as follows. Akropovik Pipe 2 Brothers Countermeasure 2 oval can (black) Factory Jet kit K+N Filter HID high and low beams Euro Headlight switch Clear alternatives front turn signals Givi Screen Mototek tail section w/ led brake lights behind clear lenses Extra 900RR shock w/900# spring Solo seat cowl Black Fast bag (never used) in original condition R-1 R/R and New battery at 40,000 miles New at 43,000 miles Racetech springs SBC front brakes Rear Diablo Strada Factory rubber damped 17 tooth front sprocket Sunstar 45 tooth rear DID chain Oil and filter change There are some scratches along the right side of the upper fairing and front fender from a slow low side, absolutely no damage to anything other than the plastic. I have an extra rt. side panel freshly painted and a rear tail section with a crack near the forward lug mounting hole, also have stock lenses, headlight switch, R/R (fully functional) and center stand. I have the factory exhaust with a little bevel on the right can leading edge. The bike is on Craigs for $4,500 in RI just so I wouldn't have to deal with anyone who doesn't know what the bike is. I'm looking to get around $4000 with all the factory parts and would really just like to sell it all together. I'm not too good at posting pics but I'll give it a shot. If they don't work please just send me an email address and I'll try to do it than way. Thanks in advance please pass it along. http://providence.craigslist.org/mcy/785377290.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h2o player Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hello...............................Anybody................................Hello............................. Going to send it to E-Gay soon. Keep the bird. The C-14 is a great bike. I picked one up in June and I love it BUT it is not the BB. @ $3800 you should just keep it in the garage. You will regret selling the BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmax Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 I would like to keep it but I need something more comfy for the wife and kids to ride on and I'm not ready for a Wing. Plus they don't split lanes too well. I put it on Ebay and it's bid up to $3,000 we'll see what happens in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will regret selling the BB. My bird hit the reserve today so with luck the sale should go through by the middle of next week. I'd like to know considering you have the ability to jump from the XX to the C-14 what can you tell me about the differences in power, comfort, weather protection etc. Did you remove the butterflies and have you made any mods? Thanks in advance. Ride safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmax Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Damn E-Bay assholes!!! The auction was completed 2 days ago still no deposit from the winner and won't return emails. Any and all offers will be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnoGecko Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 BUMP!! somebody please buy this bike. Perhaps asking $3800 for a 11yr old bike with 40k+ miles on it is a bit high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmax Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 After he took two road trips totalling 2400 miles I sold the White Tiger mural XX to new guy Unk Greg from OH today. Seems like he's really going to enjoy riding this in his corner of the world, lots of NICE roads! This is his second XX purchase in 3 months, I think he might be addicted! Good luck with the bike and ride safe Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sondance Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 BUMP!! somebody please buy this bike. Perhaps asking $3800 for a 11yr old bike with 40k+ miles on it is a bit high? Perhaps you're right but I am just "asking" This may not help any, but in comparison, I picked up my 2000 XX off of ebay a couple of months ago for $3600 and it had 36K mileage... yours, I'm sure, is in better shape as mine needed some TLC and pretty much every wear item replaced.... I figure I spent close to a grand getting it back into shape. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmax Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 I feel we both did pretty well in the deal, now there are 2 other sales coming together because of it. It's a win,win, and WIN all the way around. Mine was in good shape and had a bunch of extra parts and some upgrades but did have almost 10,000 more miles than the one you bought. I think you did fine with yours, it's not like you see lots of them available. Just 4 years ago when I bought mine there were a lot more around. I'm just hoping that now that I no longer have one I won't get banned from the board!! Ride Safe I'd love to buy the front clear signals off you!!!! If you're parting anything. Sorry they went with the bike along with the original ambers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJP XX Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm just hoping that now that I no longer have one I won't get banned from the board!! If you buy a C14, you'll definitely be banned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmax Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 I've got to tell you after doing all kinds of research and spending time on the other boards this one really is the most fun, irreverent, biased and sometimes pornographic ( thanks topcop!!!) one out there!
