Details on the bike...

I bought this about 8 weeks ago from a member on PNWriders as a street bike with clear WA title. Thought it had bent shift forks as it wouldn't engage 4/5/6 gear under high load. I had Fuzzy open the motor/transmission up and turns out it wasn't the shift forks but rather the drum so he replaced it, installed the shift star, and gave it a once-over and deemed it in great shape. Gave it to Barry at KFG and he then upgraded the front end with springs, valving, etc... but the Ohlins shock Spring didn't arrive in time for the next race weekend so I ran it stock.
Did a 2-Fast track day on it where it went down and the bar end punched a small hole in the frame so I took it home, had my buddy replace it with a brand new '07 frame/swingarm and it needed some other items as well - fairing stay, bodywork, clip ons, etc... Everything has been installed now except the new fairing stay (delayed shipping), windscreen, tank, and rear brake caliper mount ('07 swingarm is different than the '08 so we ran a borrowed on this weekend). All of this will be done before the bike is sold. New owner can have the clean '07 frame stamped with the '08 frame VIN # (clarify that in the US, I know that's what is done in Canada) so it'll technically be street legal if you wanted to swap it back.

$5,700

Expensive 8 weeks of ownership as there's been over $8,000 invested in this bike including upgrades and repairs. :(

****CAN BE DELIVERED TO ANYWHERE IN NORTHERN WA FOR NEW BUYER****

GLWS!

What's next, Lionel?

[SlowStad]

If someone is considering this GREAT deal.. do it. Help Lionel out a bit and help yourself to an immaculate bike!

[young lion]

Thanks Eric! All the bugs are worked out and it's truly turn key right now ( just add enough gas to actually finish the races!)

Mel, likely taking some time off from racing. If I find the budget next year I'll buy something budget appropriate like a 250/TFS bike/SV650.

Ghay. Come on man. You can't be more frustrated than some of us. My season sucked for lots of reasons but not enough to quit. Well yet! Good luck

Really sorry to hear that, Lionel, but I understand exactly what you mean about budget constraints. Hope you can get back out there on something again soon.

[richmeyer]

Dude, can't afford to lose you as a pit mate. Phuleeeeze find something. How the hell am I going to run warmers without your e-cords?


Oh wait, I have your cords. Never mind. :D

[mike23]

Damn shame, Lionel. I heard you went home early too. I hope you can keep racing.

True that Lionel! Great member to the wmrra community. Dont feel overwhelmed and feel obligated to come down EVERY ROUND. I see this happen to a lot of members. Deep breath.... Grab a bike, do a few "weekend" trackdays, and do a FEW rounds. I think this would make the experience much better. I think you'd do well on an SV or TFS bike.

See you in 2012 Lionel! :bigok:

[yard sale]

When this sells I know a guy with a great TFS bike for sale... I bet he'd cut you a good deal on it too.

Thanks Darren, I appreciate the feedback and that might be exactly my plan for next year if things work out well over the winter.

In the meantime, to answer a couple of questions that I haven't clarified about the bike:

Bike has roughly 5900 miles on stock motor, 5600 of which are street miles, 300 are track/race miles. I've only had it transformed in to a track bike for the past month or so.

I have a dyno graph available to email anyone who would like to see it. 130.2hp and 56.6ft.lbs of torque on Nels Dyno.

Bike is still a WA state licensed/titled/registered vehicle - I'll transfer over the papers to the new owner - no worries about it being a Canadian bike or any hassles with that.

[bostron]

Pm me your bottom line, looking for a rain bike :-)

[piper907]

chris, you already have a rain bike... what you need is a DRY SUPERBIKE!!!! (hint hint)

[young lion]

I'm heading to Vegas for a week, if things go well, bike will be kept as a spares bike, things so sideways and there'll be a drastic asking price decrease!!!

[snowridr]

I think we would all feel the loss if you were not at the track. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Seriously.

Good luck, bro.

[young lion]

Well, home in one piece from Vegas and luckily I never had to re-mortgage the house due to my losses.

Bump to the top please...

[richmeyer]

Glad Vegas didn't hurt you too badly.

Vegas was great and I timed my trip to "treasures" perfectly. Monday night football, no cover, free buffet, $1 drinks, and 40 girls on the floor/stage!

That sounds like heaven. :banana:

Heaven is if the girls are on you not the stage :-)
Just saying!

So when do you pick up the bike that will be replacing it?

What ever are you going to do with all your extra time and money??

Bummer.

Bummer.

(I was hoping you'd say "Well, I can always throw some # plates on the Streetfighter and you can ride it in Open GP Twins..." or something along those lines!!!

I've got a old sluggish mille you can always borrow for early HW GP...but that's my ride for open twins!

If that's what it takes...

[young lion]

Nope, after this year's incident I'll never ride a borrowed bike on the track. It's too risky, it's not a matter of how careful you are, others aren't at times.

If all goes well, I'll grab some beater TFS/SV and get in some track days/rounds next summer. We find out early January if my wife's contract becomes a permanent position or not. Fingers crossed...
