Selling the S4Rs

[EvilSteve]

Well, I've finally got the bike to the point where it's running like a champ and everything is working the way it should so I'm going to sell it. I'm going to post a proper ad shortly but wanted to see if anyone local was interested first.

Let me know if you're interested.

Pourqoui?

Just doesn't really suit my style of riding is all. Plus I want to get a few more miles out of a tank. I'm getting 110 without the light coming on which is pretty good for a monster but still, I'm thinking more like 140/150. Unlike many people I've seen comment on the subject, I really don't like stopping after every hundred miles or so.

Any interest in parting out that tail light?

[EvilSteve]

Sorry mate, not really. 

If you buy it, it comes with a bike attached. It will cost $12k though.

hmmm...so what are you planning to get next? fwiw, i never understood how you could go from a gsx-r 750 back to a monster. i think i'm holding onto the RC until the RS4 comes out.

I have 52 jumps now and my B license which means I can do night jumps (not that I want to mind you!). Let me know if you're going up again at some point. I'm usually there at some point every weekend. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

It's a great bike if it suits your style. Suspension is awesome and I have the race ecu - it goes to 11 and sounds amazing. I want something lighter and *less* powerful, probably Street Triple R. My wife hates sport bike (fairings) so I think I can accommodate her by sticking with naked bikes. Also, I did want to try a water cooled Duc.

Hey, look me up when you're ready, if it's not sold, it's all yours. I'd love to sell it locally. I'm going to put it up on CL in the next couple of days.

I jump at the Ranch (http://www.theblueskyranch.com/), never jumped anywhere else actually. They say that if you can land at the Ranch you can land anywhere.

If you're ever up for coming up to the Ranch once you have your A, let me know. I'll do the same if I'm out at SDLI.

Good luck on the sale, hope your next scoot is like getting into a warm bath.

It's pretty expensive but if you plan to jump more than just to get your license then in 30 *days* of renting ($90 whole day / $30 per jump & that's not even counting the cost per jump which is $23 at my DZ) you would have spent enough to buy a good second hand rig. If you're into the sport, save up to get a second hand rig. Ask around the DZ & see if anyone you know has one you can borrow. Either a rig or a main or whatever, just make sure it's safe. Buying everything new is great but you're talking $5k+ (that's what my wife did!) which is a lot but not necessary unless you're an odd shape.

Ask your instructor about this stuff, you're not the first person to have this problem.

As for the bike, I really hope I can find a buyer, having it checked out this weekend so I can get everything checked and fixed if necessary although i think I'm good at this point.

Funny Dan,

I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum, I was throwing around the idea of selling the 749 and geting something a bit more "uprite" and less painy on the neck than the 749.  Good luck w /the sale.
