    FS: 2006 R6 Race/Track Bike

    I am the second owner of this quick and well sorted 2006 R6. Adult (over 40) owned and raced (yes, Formula 40). The bike was built by Celtic racing in 07. Prior owner had the bike built to be very similar to the bikes ridden by Chaz Davies in the 07 AMA supersport championship. The bike has a Certificate of Origin. The bike has never been down during my ownership. Prior owner was injured soon after buying the bike in one of two low sides. After I bought the bike I had GMD Computrack measure and confirm the bike is straight. GMD also set up the "Sweet Numbers" on the bike and serviced and reworked the suspension. Oil changed after every race weekend or track day event with Motorex Power Synt 4T.

    Title:
    ● Manufacturers Certificate of Origin

    Motor:
    ● The bike was built by Celtic racing in 07. Prior owner had the bike built to be very similar to the bikes ridden by Chaz Davies in the 07 AMA supersport championship. It has a mild supersport built motor (without thinner head gasket) which is currently custom mapped for pump gas and puts out about 123hp.

    ● Dynojet Power Commander PCIII USB

    ● Akrapovic Full Titanium exhaust with Titanium canister

    ● Spare Akrapovic Titanium canister

    ● Always used full synthetic Motorex Power Synt 4T 5w/40 Engine Oil, changed pretty much every weekend.

    Suspension:
    ● Forks: Ohlins 25mm kit w/1.0kg springs, serviced and reworked by Mike Martire of GMD NY, then tweeked Peter Kates of GMD Boston.

    ● Shock: Ohlins TTX 3-Way Rear Shock, serviced by Mike Martire of GMD NY

    ● GMD “Sweet Numbers” setup done first by Mike Martire (GMD NY) and then tweeked Peter Kates (GMD Boston).

    ● The bike is set up for 185-195lbs rider.

    ● The bike is well sorted and wears tires smooth and even.

    Bodywork:
    ● Hot Bodies full bodywork w/supersport tail - Celtic Racing Livery (some rash)
    ● Matching Green/lime Tank (w/ fuel pump) and matching Cowl

    Pictures:
    See below.

    Delivery Help:
    I am more than willing to help with delivery for those who live within a reasonable distance away. Meeting half way is usually what I’ve done before. To avoid having to drive some distance for someone who is only going to kick the tires and not buy, I will require an advance payment to cover my gas to and from the meeting point. The amount of the advance payment will depend on the distance needed to be driven. If you buy the bike, then I’ll apply half of the advance payment towards the purchase price. If you don’t buy, then at least I’m not out gas money.

    Price: $6000 obo

    Location: Southwestern Connecticut

    Contact: John

    Phone: (203) 300-9411
    If I’m not available, please leave a voice mail or send a text message and I’ll call you back.

    Email: gecko.69@comcast.net

    This is a fast and well sorted bike.

    Would you be willing to part out the blue tank cover pieces?

    Not likely. There's been a lot of interest already in the bike as a "package" just within the first hour of its listing. But who knows, they may all turn out to be just tire kickers. I will keep you in mind though.

    That's odd. I'm suddenly feeling like grilled chicken for lunch...

    Thanks!

    I have a full blue fairing set minus the tank and that may be the only way I would keep my bike since I hate to see my bike rashed up right now.

    Whoo ... damn, what a crazy yesterday.

    Between the phone calls, PM’s and emails I hardly had time to devote to my day job.

    I think I've responded to everyone.

    If you tried to contact me and haven't gotten a response in some way, shape or form ... try and contact me again because its likely your first try probably got lost in the confusion.

    Yet another crazy day. Again, I think I've managed to respond to everyone.

    If you tried to contact me and haven't gotten a response ... give it another shot because it likely got lost in the confusion. If that’s the case, my apologies in advance.

    Right now, no money has changed hands, so the bike is still available.

    For those who were taking about trying to set something up for this weekend ... as it stands now, both Saturday and Sunday are open for me. However, if you can try and firm things up with me sooner rather than later, Mrs. Gecko and I would greatly appreciate it.

    The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

    The weekend aspirations were thwarted by scheduling conflicts and, as a result, didn’t turn out as planned.

    Right now, no money has changed hands, so the bike is still available.
