nomadicdread Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) I'm looking for a relatively low miles, stock '99-'00 or ‘03 XX preferably in the pacific northwest. Have truck, will travel, for the right bike/deal outside of the PNW. I would prefer the bike to be stock, however mods that I'm fine with are Heli bars or VFR bars, some windscreens, aftermarket seats, and luggage.

superhawk996 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Why only those years? And unless painted or had a fairing swap, 99 will be black and 00 will be titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoWhee Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 "Canada eh?" the XX came in black in '00 up north, source: Mine black with red XX stickers. Personally, I'd stay carbie or get a later FI bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadicdread Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I never would have thought there would be such interest in my interests. '99-'00 XX are the only ones that come in the combination of black, Fi, and an analog instrument cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike WA Guns, this is a very eccentric and completely insane group of inmates who run the asylum. There are also virtually no rules here. People say what they want when they want. They also post crazy and inappropriate stuff, provided it is tagged NWS. (Not Work Safe). Good luck in your search for the bike YOU want! It is out there and you will hopefully find it.

Now I get it. Pretty sure you can swap clusters easily, but I understand wanting to find it stock. I too liked the analog, then got used to the digital, now have another analog and I'm not sure which one I like more, but I'm slightly pro-analog.

TOXXIC Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Having had both, I like the tach being centered in the cluster which it is on the Digital bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadicdread Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 I remember this “place” as it was in the early 2000’s. It was pretty much no rules then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoWhee Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 You are correct about the 99-00 being the only FI bikes with analogue speedometers. The fi on them is a little buggy, they have a very rich spot (as most early century hondas did) but it's an easy fix with a power commander. IIRC there's also a minor change in fuel capacity between the early and late FI bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon haney Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) My 99 is for sale (not officially), but as you can tell, I'm not close to you. Also, I have some mods not on your list (and non that you mentioned were okay). Mine is only showing about 26K miles, but there is a reason for that. PM me, if you're interested in details. SOLD NOW. 1-12-20 Edited January 14, 2020 by jon haney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The first couple times I wrote 2020 on an invoice it felt odd, now I just equate it to the vision I once had and the upcoming re-election and it feels more natural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadicdread Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 I've got my eye on one in SoCal, just waiting on some peeps of mine to get their eyes on it. Kind of hard to justify the trip down without having it looked at first. It's a four day round trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's near 91745 and you don't have a trusted friend available I can check it out and either put down a deposit or possibly pick it up & hold it for you if you'd like.

That is very generous of you. I may need to take you up on that. It's an hour and half south of that zip code as the crow flies. Probably an hour as the Bird flies.

superhawk996 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Or 5 hours depending on the time of day....fucking So. Cal. traffic. But still a possibility. Hour & a half south, guessing San Diego-ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) 85-ish miles. If you think it's a good bike I'm not opposed to going down there and raping inspecting it for you. I would want direct contact info for the seller to schedule it so it all goes smoothly. You don't know me, but I do lots of pre-purchase inspections as part of my job. As with anything there is no way to guarantee that something's perfect, but I weed out a lot of stuff people miss so I feel pretty confident in saying that if it passes my inspection it's good. I haven't had a single one that went wrong, and I weed out the majority of the crappy deals just from a phone conversation.

nomadicdread Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 In most of my west of rockies findings, bikes are posted for $3000-$4000 with a few sellers asking for even more. A '00 for $5900???? All of these bikes have posted for weeks, months, and a couple for at least a year. Yet, no one has been interested in getting off their high price. It seems that the more I look, the less I'm willing to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Craigslist Google-Fu is vastly superior to mine. I'm going to contact him and see what the story is. Thank you. I really don't know how I missed this one.
