Oh, Hooplehead, why did you change out my expensive, fully synthetic, Castrol racing oil, of proper weight, for a no-name, cheap, light weight oil? Change back to something good, and make a positive, not lazy, shift, with the factory pegs and shifter. All has been right with that bike.
2000+ miles at sustained 90mph was why it was changed. Changed to Valvoline cuz i have about 8 gallons of it here and didnt make a shit of diff in my old 97. Peg lowers cuz im 6'3" and dont forget, blue gauges cuz indiglo is da shit Only thing left is to repair a cpla worn throttle cables and drop it in the street...
Cruising the highway is easy on the oil, it would have been fine for at least 5,000 miles. The rest? Yikes. But, I can appreciate it for a bit of humor. Good luck!

I don't want to Jack this thread, but I have a similar 2003 XX in Omaha, Ne, that I am going to place for sale in the next couple of weeks. I have just been swamped and not able to get it out for pictures. Let me know if you want more information.

You just jacked this thread. Post your own, eh?
-
Thanks, frustyd! Currently have a deal in the works with Hooplehead. Deal should be complete the week after next, with the 'bird "flying" to NC. Will post an update when final.

My Redbird sold not long ago for $4700 and in many ways, was way more tricked out then yours. 4-into-one hi-mount single side Mig exhaust. Only one like it on the planet. Corbin seat, VFR, bars, custom screen, LED integrator Clear Alternatives kit, clear lenses. Power Commander, Givi top box and only 11K miles. You are a bit high on your price with factory slips ons.granted you have a nice bike, but that is what you have a nice 12 year old bike. My '08 tricked out Concours with 11K miles is barely worth your original asking price.
Thanks for the feedback. Some will appreciate the original, mostly unadorned, state of this bike over one that has been "tricked out." Also, this is the final year for the bike in the United States, and it's the "right color". Plus, the Super Blackbird is more rare and, perhaps, special, than a late Concours. Finally, one can always make an offer!

Easter special! $5,500. Won't be dropping from here for some time, if any time.

Southwest has one-way flights from most of the US into PHX for a couple hundred.
This! Fly and ride. Are you buying a bike not to ride it?

I've shipped two bikes before, one I took to a location near the airport, the other was picked up at my home. You arrange for shipping, for pick up at my home, I'm fine with that. Full bank-to-bank wired payment prior to ship. FaceTime so you can see and hear the bike, all the details, before payment.

Price drop! Was $6,000, now $5,800.

I can't believe it's not sold already. If you were closer, I'd have to have myself committed to NOT find an excuse to buy it.
Yeah, I know I'm looking for something different from the XX as I get older, but that bike is so sweet it's hard to pass up.
I can't believe it, either! I'm willing to come down a little in price, too. In the meantime, I'll appreciate it, riding it occasionally. This bike is so beautiful, well engineered, smooth and powerful, it makes my V7 feel like a rototiller!
-
I am super tempted by this bike! Lori's husband Steve could fly down and ride it to Seattle for me......
Fuck yes I would.....Make an offer, it would be the more mile put on it then you will over the next 5 years
I purchased this bike from a rider living in Salinas, CA. Rode it home, from Carmel, CA, to Scottsdale, AZ, over 700 miles in 11 hours. It's good at that!

Interested in selling the SW-Motech rack only by any chance ?
No, sorry, as long as I have the bike I want use of those!
-
Replaced the clutch fluid today, wheel goes in tomorrow for a new Michelin Pilot Road 2. Totally ready for a new owner!
-
Just ordered a new rear tire, will be mounted this coming week.

Minor patina
What is this?
What you'd expect from actually riding a motorcycle, rather than storing it in a garage as a museum piece. So, think insignificant rubs, scratches, rock chips and so on. Most that view this bike are amazed it's a 2003, many have commented they thought it was new.
-
I've had some nibbles from CL and AdvRider. I'm a little flexible on price, feel free to talk with me.

Last year imported, in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, 18,XXX miles (very low), with luggage set, bar risers, original owner's manual and tool set, service manual, cover and bag, and miscellaneous hardware. The SW-Motech with Givi luggage set and GenMar bar risers retail for a total of around $1,500 new. Recent air filter, coolant, and oil and filter replacement. Minor patina. Located in North Scottsdale, Arizona. Price drop! Was $6,000, then $5,800, now $5,500. Won't be dropping from here for some time, if any time. Sold!

The sideracks are sold! Remaining are:
- SW-Motech Alu-rack Toprack, Retail $145, 70% = $101.50, Savings > $43.50

Everything went with the bike sale except for the sideracks, toprack and Throttlemeister. As mentioned, I'll go 70% of Retail, shipping CONUS included (the Retail price doesn't include shipping, so you're saving over 30% on each item). Thus:
- SW-Motech Quick-Lock Sideracks with Givi Sidecase Adaptor Kit, Retail $250, 70% = $175, Savings > $75
- SW-Motech Alu-rack Toprack, Retail $145, 70% = $101.50, Savings > $43.50
- Throttlemeister cruise control, Retail $117, 70% = $81.90, Savings > $35.10
