For Sale: SV1000 Track Bike

[rockmeupto125]

Money is tight, and things are going on the block. I like this bike, but perhaps its time for a new owner, and maybe its time I reeled it in a bit. Not getting younger, y'know...

Here for sale is the SV1000 track bike that many of you have seen at Jennings or some of the other track days. I purchased this bike from Redbird, so you know the build was done correctly. Rather than relisting it all, I'll quote his original for sale ad for the specs.

"2003 SV1000 track bike, Ohio junk title- this bike CANNOT BE TITLED FOR STREET USE, period. Not salvage, not rebuild- junk, as in scrap. I don't care if your uncle knows a guy in Sasketchewan who dated a chick at the DMV who once did her brother a favor and got a junk title back on the street, it ain't gonna happen here. This is a track only bike unless you replace the frame.

Bought in late 2008 as project bike with ~13,000 miles. Original build documented here. Donor bike was torn down and pretty much completely rebuilt. The next year it was stripped down to the frame for the powder coating and gone over thoroughly again. Odo reads much more than 16,247 (when Redbird had it), and that's off a bit due to the gearing (-1 front, +2 rear).

Bike is ugly and worn. It was down when Redbird had it and down again in my ownership. Most all those sharp edges are wore off by now. The tank has a great big crease in it but works fine. Runs well and is a whole lot of fun in a small package.

I'm taking it to RacerXX for March 13th. Available after that, or for the right consideration, you can take possession before then. Because I'm traveling, delivery is highly considerable anywhere near the Atlantic states.

$2000 and drive it away. Check out the link that Redbird left.

Thanks!

Joe, you should take it to RacerXX. I don't know how Tim could leave his leathers at home, if you do.

Give it up, Tim. One way or another they are going to make you want to ride. Resistance is futile!

[Redbird]

He is taking it to RacerXX and I'm leaving my leathers at home. No point in running laps at times up around 120% of what I did on that bike back in '10 and '11.

It's a perishable skill, and what little I had has perished

Good luck with the sale Joe. 2k is a good price, there's a lot of expensive bits on that thing.

This bike is still for sale, and is going to RacerXX for March 18th, 2016.

Its a trouper. Think about it. Offers will be entertained, or entertaining....one or the other.
