[Awesome]

That's not a deal

[Jim]

maybe $3500

[butcher bergs]

That's not a deal

You think that's bad? There was a 2008 going for 12,5. Seller said he put something like 30k into the bike.



I'll see if I can find the ad

How da hell did he spend 30K+ on building that bike?

I stand corrected...

Must be the "willwood components"

[CBR929RE]

How da hell did he spend 30K+ on building that bike?

he probably paid someone $100+/hr to install that stuff and it took the guy 10 hours to open each package.

[Palm Bomb]

LOL....we should look up who 717 is and flame him

[Jaynnus]

Where is that thread I was spoofing.....

[Pigman]

LOL....we should look up who 717 is and flame him

Anthony Esposito has 717 now..............so we can't flame him for it

LOL at Brett's comment.


Either that or he had an HRC engine installed.

Some people on CL are on crack..

Guy I bought my former trackbike from sold his 2003 Erion 600RR back in 2009. It was Roger Lee Hayden's AMA race bike back in '03. It had a full HRC suspension, exhaust, and AMA spec ECU. His asking price was $4900.

are you saying the bike in the CL ad is RLH's Erion bike? I know his FX929 had the same paint scheme so I can see this being his bike. also explains the professionally raced comment.

737 isn't it?.....

Easy to hit $30k

Jim, Degs,

we were not talking about the Erion bike. We were talking about this 08 600RR: http://nh.craigslist.org/mcy/2414819461.html




Which had the following description

I am selling my 2008 Honda 600rr Race bike. Unfortuantly I was never able to race it due to an accident on the road with my other bike. It has never been crashed I bought it new and have the clean title in hand.under 2000 miles on it THe bike has:
Ohlins 30mm cartrige kit
rear penksi double clicker
520 conversion geared 3 in rear one in front
shorty levers
steering stabilizer
slip on exhaust
race plastics
frame sliders
willwood rearsets
willwood case covers w/sliders
safety wired for racing

I spent 30k building this bike but need to get rid of it to pay bills.


Sure the ohlins internals and the penske rear shock are probably worth $2K and $1.2k respectivelly installed but the remainder just does not justify the alleged $30 he spent.
