fsufan8 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hey guys, I'm in the market to get my hands on a nice 2002 or 2003 Blackbird but I'm having difficulty finding one that I like in California. Anyone know of any good ones anywhere in the state? I have to buy one in CA due to the DMV laws so if it's outside the state, I can't register it here unless it has over 7500 miles and even at that, the state will get me for an extra sales tax if I've haven't owned it for longer than a year outside of CA and I won't pay that so it's gotta be for sale in CA. I'm looking for one with less than 20K miles. If anyone knows of one, let me know. Thanks! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Did you check Craig's List? Here's one in the Riverside/San Bernadino area: Linky It doesn't say how many miles. There are probably others; I found that one with about two minutes search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsufan8 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thanks Keith ...yeah, I did find that one on a search all craig's site but based on the price and the fact that he didn't list the miles, I figured they were high and I really didn't care for what looks to be square yoshi pipes. Also, I like the OEM black wheels and the owner of this one has put some chrome or silver wheels on it. This one did not scream buy me.

Aurora Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Look at a 2001 XX. The red color is very sweet. Pictures of the red version do not do the color justice. Though the bikes color make a difference in overall speed. Black is the fastest followed by silver then red and last titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the bikes color make a difference in overall speed. Black is the fastest followed by silver then red and last titanium. Aurora, I've never really liked the red color on the 01's. It's really bungandy and it just has never really excited me. I like the red on the Ducati STs but not the red XXs. That's the only reason why I have omitted the 01s from my search. Jeffro, I came across that listing the other day and it appears to be a nice bike ...the few downsides are the 4 into 1 pipe and the scratches and chips. His price is good, though, and miles are fine. If I bought that bike, I'd rip the Yoshi pipe right off and re-install a nice dual exhaust but I guess if I can find one that has the original pipe set-up, that would be better. It's definitely a possibility, though. I'm looking for a cherry example of a bike ...the 02' XX I owned some years back was in pristine condition and I want another like that. They are HARD to find like that. Thanks for the input guys, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsufan8 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 another one up here in Sac http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/1806051059.html Ahh, now that's what I'm talking about! I had not seen that one yet. Unmolested, adult ridden, and silver, the fastest color. I will be calling him. Thanks Jeffro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 another one up here in Sac http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/1806051059.html From the seller of this one: "Set of new tires, oil change, coolant change and set of rear brake pads 200 mi ago. I'm second owner we are both well into our 50's. 20K miles. Ted" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
