Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist
Check out this Dorsoduro 1200 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...rral_code=null
Seems like it would be a very fun, impractical bike :beerbang:

Holy shit, really? For a 17 year old bike?
I've always said the "modern" era bikes (basically 2004+) would hold value until the superbike started to look different. I feel like we hit the next wave in like 2018+ with hollow tail fins, TC, adjustable suspension, and ABS being the norm. Maybe my view was wrong.
Basically, everyone wants and will pay for a bike that looks like it could have rolled off the showroom yesterday. From 2004-2018 that was more or less the case. In my mind, that has changed.
Maybe my viewpoint is just wrong.

So you have your excuse to not buy it. Maybe the exhaust sounds better in person? Chain drive to the cams instead of belts to replace, that's a plus right there over Ducati. Besides, you never see these on the street, how cool is that? The only one on the block etc.

Maybe I’m wrong too, but 2006+ gixxer sixxers seem to have stalled at $6,000+
The R6 was compact and light and a screamer, and that Yamaha racing blue is always a winner. I would pay $5,000 no problem for that.

It’s like… you might be surprised… but if $3,000 for a 17yo race replica seems surprising, what would my favorite bike, a 2002 zx-9r run me?
If an R6 is $3,000, 17yo, that what’s a 20yo cbr600f4i worth? Under 3?
Then when you think about the Japanese reliable technology, in the package… proven engine, sporting package, street legal components… what’s that really worth to you?

No my excuse not to but it is I have an ‘18 Street Bob and a ‘22 Scrambler 1200XE that I should probably sell one before any other additions.

To me, an F4i is almost worthless compared to r6. But a first gen 2003 CBR600 is worth just as much as an r6. Its the single seat on the f4i that makes it not look like a modern sport bike that kills value.
My view could be way off from market, but the way I have thought about it is that everyone wants their bike to look cool, and the f4i just doesn't by comparison.

A lot of F4i guys did the dual seat conversion. Looks way better and I heard it's more comfortable too. I know a guy with ~330,000 miles on his. Bought it new and keeps riding it.

Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist
Speedwerks build, doesn't have the OEM front forks, been converted to 2nd gen R6 it appears. Looks like a regular 3TJ, not an RR SP so no quickchange front and rear OEM, curious if it's got flatslides or CV cabs under the tank? The bike absolutely has a VIN too FYI, it'll either be a 17 digit or 7 digit depending on exact model and if it's from the UK or Japan.

Well here's the follow-up in his recent update:
Quote:
Yamaha R6
Has 12k miles runs drives shifts great. Tires are like new does not leak oil or anything.
Brakes work fine no noises Just installed a new battery Bike is in good shape
Has a salvage rebuildable title haven’t had time to get it registered
Will entertain a reasonable offer that’s why it’s 2500.00 and not a lot more

Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist
Someone’s asking for the vin to my car for sale so they can run a car fax…
No harm in giving out a vin right?
People could get everyone’s vins from their windshield if so…

I've never had an issue giving or receiving a VIN for verification purposes.
Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist
Local dualsport with some good mods for a decent price.

Edit: from the looks of the brake caliper the forks are off a Yamaha which makes it cooler.
