BTT .....Bike is now for sale, as I've got the 600RR ready to go!

I saw it John, thing is ....I'm trying to sell my 1000RR (05) cause I just bought an '07 600RR. It will be better suited to my riding down here.........every road is like a herd of snakes!!!!

I'm picking up an '07 600RR next weekend and will soon have my '05 CBR1000RR up for sale. It is the Titanium color and has never been down. List of mods: 1. Micron Serpent Full System 2. Power Commander III usb with a map that produces approx. 162 HP 3. Puig Dark Smoke windscreen 4. New front and rear sprockets (-1 and +3) 5. New DID gold chain 6. Pilot Powers 2CT (approx. 1000 miles) 120/70/17 and 190/55/17 7. Speedohealer....set for accuracy with my Garmin GPS 8. Honda extended warranty until May 12th, 2010 9. Has had the 16K service work done at Mtn Adventures which includes the following. Valve check, fresh oil and filter, fresh brake fluid front and rear, fresh clutch fluid, fresh coolant, and new spark plugs. The bike needs absolutely NOTHING. It has approx. 18,xxx miles on it and I bought it new on May 12th, 2005.....so I am the original owner. The bike has NEVER been down and has been meticulously maintained. Anyone that is interested can contact me via PM on here or call my cell at: 618-531-0508. It's an IL number that I never did change after I moved here a year and a half ago. NADA pricing shows...$8355 stock and with all the extras that I have listed I would like to get $7500 out of the bike. That will include the extended warranty that is fully transferable to the new owner. The extras that I have on the bike totals approx $2200 new, so asking $7500 is actually a pretty good price on a bike that is absolutely ready to go.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'm trying to buy an '07 CBR600RR that is located just outside Washington D.C. If I can make the deal, I will bringing my truck and trailer up that way. I could bring the F4 and you could meet Peggy and I there. Title is in hand.

BTT again!

Save your pennies and save your dimes! Do whatever you have to do (short of robbing a bank maybe) to get the NoMar....if you are interested in changing your own tires almost effortlessly. Seriously, the design is great, making it very easy to use if you do exactly as the video instructions tell you too. If you find that you are struggling.........you are doing something WRONG. The workmanship and quality are second to none and and honestly, I wish I had bought one when they first came out several years ago. Steve and Sue (the owners) are stand up people. They started this business about 4 years ago when Steve "invented" the NoMar and made the first prototype. They are both avid motorcyclists and both do Track Days. One of my friends in St. Louis is personal friends with them and he not only speaks very highly of them, I have experienced excellent customer service after the sale. Buy IT! Phillip.......give me a holler when you need some rubber changed out..........just not while it's like 17 degrees outside!

See 1st. post with info and price reduction. Was......$3500...........Reduced to ......$2995

BTT again! Anyone?? It's like new and a cheaper than new!

BTW Joe, How's that snowblower working out for you. Nothing personal, but I'm glad that YOU are getting to use it and not ME

BTT for a price reduction........See first post on this page!

Surely there is someone on here that needs a very good quality back protector. I know that a lot of you guys don't do track days on the XX, but maybe you know someone or are friends with someone that does. The A* Tech is a very comfortable and good quality piece..............Anyone?????

I've got an Alpinestars Tech Back Protector for sale that has only been worn for three track days. It is like new condition and of course has never seen an impact. It is a size med. and for comparison purposes, I am 5' 11" and weigh in at between 195 to 200 lbs. and it fits me very well. They are quite adjustable so if you are a little bigger or somewhat smaller, it would probably work for you. They retail for $140 and I would like to get $100 local or...$100 plus ACTUAL shipping cost for it. Here is a link to the A* website where you can read about it . Contact me via PM or cell....618-531-0508 if interested. Oh, I got a new back protector for Christmas and really don't need two of them. http://www.alpinestars.com/Tech_Back.....;/p/650402.html

I've been using StaBil for years and years and have never had a problem with it not doing it's job. Yesterday in fact, I did: 3 motorcycles (an ST110 that's for sale, my track bike, and Peg's 600F4 that's for sale) 2 generators 2 lawn mowers 1 power washer 1 leaf blower and a partridge in a pear tree

Thought I had it sold, but the kid's dad decided that he really didn't want to loan his son money for a "crotch-rocket". So, BTT

Shameless BTT................$3300

I don't think that Joe called you a "liar"; I believe that he was implying that maybe you were wrong in your reading of the DOT code. You certainly got a bad deal in the fact that they wouldn't totally make the situation go away.....no questions ask. My suggestion is that if you do in fact win the settlement, throw another couple hundred dollars with it and buy yourself a NoMar tire changer and order your tires online from whoever you choose. NoMar

Stock mufflers are about as desireable as having a face full of Zits on Prom night! Take what you can get out of them and be thankful that they are not hanging on the wall of your garage for 20 years collecting dust!!!

My girlfriend Peggy is selling her 2000 F4, Silver/Red. It has 27,xxx miles on it and a set of Pilot Powers. The bike is basically stock and has some rash on the left side that was there when she bought the bike. She has never laid it down and the pictures that follow will show the rash. It runs very well and really needs nothing except new tires in a couple of thousand miles. The bike has been garage kept and is pretty good condition mechanically. It has the usual paint knicks that you would find on a seven year old bike. The previous owner was a lady and traded it in for a 600RR. What I will be willing to do when the bike finally does need tires is this. You purchase the tires and bring the bike back to our house and I will mount whatever tires that you purchase, balance them and remount the tires/wheels on the bike for you for free. I have a NoMar tire changer at my house and a static balancer and do my own tires for both my street bike and my track bike. The NADA price shows $3700 (currently) and she will sell it for $2995. Frame is straight, tires/wheels are round, and would make a great bike for someone that is looking to get a sportbike for not a lot of money. Clean title (not salvage) in hand and ready to go. Keep in mind that insurance on this bike is going to be somewhat less than a liter bike, which is good, if you are a younger rider. Oh, BTW, the reason she is selling this bike is because she bought a 600RR and she doesn't need two bikes. You can contact me via PM on here or call me on my cell at the following number. 618-531-0508. Ask for Vernon

I've got two Canyon Dancers and will sell them both for thirty bucks or $15 apiece. I've recently bought the Baxley wheel chocks and now, roll the bike into it, latch the pivot mechanism, and put a strap on both sides at the rear of the bike and pull forward. No more screwed up grips or broken control pods on the left side of the clipons.

Not to jack this thread, but I've been using the Crystal Glo for several years and just haven't found anything that I like better. Got mine at Cycle Gear.

My stock '05 1000RR will pull away from an XX and being approx. 100 lbs lighter, will out corner it on any track you care to ride. HP vs. HP on stock bikes goes to the 1KRR or any other modern litre bike. If you were pulling away from the GSXRs, the 1000RR and the rest that you mentioned, you were either dreaming when that happened or you have had some serious motor work done on the Bird. Sorry to burst your bubble and wake you up, but hey, what are fellow forum members for?

Tim, most likely that IS going to be the problem and there is no way for you to check it out. Basically when components like that go south, it's a matter of replacing the whole printed circuit board. There's no enough info to say for sure what that board does, but more than likely it's involvement is going to be safeties that keep the furnace from firing it they are not met. Does the inside cover of the furnace have a schematic drawing glued to it? If so, at least you might be able to easily get some info about model and brand and so on. Good luck.

The Corsa III is a direct comparison to the Pilot Powers. The Diablo Corsa is more of a track oriented tire than the Corsa III. The type of tire that you should run is going to depend on what type of riding that you are doing on the XX. When I owned mine, I was OK with a sport/touring tire until I got more and more aggressive in my riding style. It makes little sense to buy a super sticky tire if most of your riding is slabbing it or touring. On the other hand, if you are in the canyons or twisty stuff alot, sacrifice the mileage and get something sticky.

For any of you that are interested in changing your own tires and then needing a way to balance them, I would recommend the Marc Parnes static wheel balancer. I bought one and then made my own stand for it and it is definitely a quality unit. Mounted and balanced my first one this past weekend and it works perfect.
