[Evil_Weasel]

[BostonSVkid]

Whats the deal?

[Mystic]

under 4k ....just not sure what its worth seeing how i also just bought Degsy 600rr that im already catching shit for from the other half ....hahaha

I never understand how someone can have such a nice
bike and have it for 10 years and only have 2000 miles on it.

Must have done alot of rolling it backwards !

Clearly the amicable solution here is to buy the F3 and sell me the RR at a significant discount

back in 98 few of his buddys bought bikes so he bought it then rode it a few times never got into the bike scene really then just let it sit there really ....think he has a kid now so think he would rather just sell it ...just not sure what i could offer him ...

[Mystic]

its not listed he is on the fence with selling it but for me he said hell get rid of it cheap anyone else price goes up ....i might pick it up and sell it make a few bucks

like i said im not sure ballpark range its worth .

[ChrisNoF4i]

....i might pick it up and sell it make a few bucks

No offense, but if my buddy did that I would kick him in the dick. Unless there is some pre-arrangement or whatever.

p.s. - fuck you for not getting Denno's humor

Bump for the solution that does not result in you getting kicked in the dick.

You don't want to get kicked in the dick do you?

I thought not.

Wow, what a run-on sentence.

Kelly Blue Book has the retail as $3595 with "normal mileage", which for a 600cc is about 32K.

There's no additional amount for the Joe's edition, since it sold at the same sticker as any other F3.

If it's as nice as you say (and he can produce maintenance records to the effect), then I'd probably place its value at about $3700 - $3800.

[Ryno]

It's one of those bikes that might be worth something to the right person, but.....
Otherwise it's just another F3. Great bike don't get me wrong, but a ten year old 600 can be a tough sell

[catch2otwo]

my cousin bought one of these smokin joes two summers ago for 3500 with like 1000 miles on it. all stock except for the slip on. just sold it earlier this season for 3500 after i put 5000 miles on it

[Doc]

Since when is a 1998 "old school"

[Mystic]

sorry Doc but to me its a little old ....im still young so i say its old school cause im used to all the new stuff i guess ...my bad

[viva_brasil]

im having trouble selling mine. it has high miles but a fresh motor. I'm asking 2600 now, i'll probably end up selling it to GBM or some dealer next weekend if nobody bites.

the one you're talking about is probably worth about 3600 i'd say. Bet you mine is funner tho

Could you just call it OG or something?


Old school is like 1960-80, Before that is Vintage/Classic.
