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.

Everything in my list matches his description. Derek and I are assuming that there's more not listed in the ad. Tge point is, 30k isn't that far fetched to spend on a new race bike. There's someone that has been pitting in our garage that dropped 20k on a similar setup.

I agree. $30K is not far fetched for a full blow race bike. Judging by the slip on exhaust, I just do not believe he is selling a race bike per se.

Chuck is in the garage now?

No, that AM that has been in 10 with the 2 bikes. He said something about building the rain bike from a new street bike & sunk like $20k total into it.

Guess my funny wasn't really that funny.




Kris Knopf is the guy you're talking about. Talked to him for quite a while last race weekend. Seems like a good dude.

It could be the same bike for all I know. It had a similar fairing on when I saw it in person. The former owner put some bright colored plastics on it when he was racing at Summit and VIR but kept the Erion fairings too. Here's his 2009 'for sale' thread:
