Knowing the history from a trusted person is one thing, buying it from a stranger who says 'it ran fine till it got parked' is a big gamble. Got my first XX a few years ago for $1500, '97 with 50k miles. Ran crappy due to carbs WAY outa synch and the registration was expired, otherwise good. My current one was $2k, '01 with 50k, couple little issues and a few good farkles. I've seen a few other ones go cheap. You'll need luck, or to search vigilantly and be ready to pounce.

When my buddy at work told me $3,300 for an 02 with 10k miles I had no choice. It had been sitting 4years without running, no battery, and the valve stem was broken right off on the rear tire. I had to put a new battery and fuel pump in it and clean the mice nest out of the ram air and air box. Had it running in a week, it has been registered for 2 weeks and I put 800 miles on it. These are awesome bikes! Pics or it didn't happen. How's the tool strap? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XX4me Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) The '03 I just bought has less than 13k on the clock, no damage other than a couple of minor scratches, new tires, yosh 4-1, pcII, corbin seat + stock, machined bar risers, givi wing rack and side bags, ram mount, peg lowering brackets, and touring wind shield +stock. All for $4250.00. I couldn't be happier. I'll probably sell off the corbin and wind screen. Edited May 22, 2018 by XX4me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkxx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I remember when the Bird came out in 97 and wanted one so bad and found a way to get one that year. Oh, I still have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 When the FI model hit was when I really had the desire. Before that there was some lust, but no real action behind it. I cashed out a bunch of Cisco stock I was day trading, and went to the dealer with literally a brown paper bag of cash. Rode out with the bike with no registration, no tax, only the MSO. Registered it in another country, was untraceable. Sold my Katana 1100 for $2k-ish, with 110k miles on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbird Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I wanted one as soon as I saw an ad for one, but no way I was buying another bike with carbs. In 2000 I had the money, but they had changed to Titanium and I wanted black. Found a dealer in Pascagoula, MS willing to order me a black 99 but they made a mistake and priced it as a 98. $8499. Bought my 96 WS6 Formula and the 99 bird within 2 months of each other, and a 4X8 trailer (in black) to pull the bike behind the Formula. Still have all 3.

SwampNut Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Nice deal. I got mine down to the low $9k range. I had also about stolen the Katana 1100. Both were disregarded by the usual squids looking for a flashy bike. 12 hours ago, CBR-RR-XX-CESS said: Why?? Really Long list of reasons. I guess on the XX the most practical would be pulling a runner and having a plate that can't be traced in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought my 99 in August of 2000 for $9500. Tried to get it for $9200, but they wouldn't budge. It was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
