So I''m selling my bike. Only reason is to upgrade to a newer one. This was my first bike and I got it at the beginning of the year.
IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AND FOR SALE IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
I bought it with 21,800 miles in late February and it has about 23,700 now. Previous owner rebuilt the motor with piston kit, new gaskets, valves, etc. at 20,200 miles (didn''t get documentation for it but engine runs as smooth as new, no hesitation or flat spots, pulls very hard). It came also with CBR grips and bar ends, new rear blinkers, a LED job, some carbon fiber on the triple tree and around the gauges, and a vance and hines pipe. I checked out the motor and the bolts and gasket look new and the guy I got it from was recommended to me. You have to hear it and ride it to feel how strong the motor is- throttle response is crisp and it never hesitates. It fires up every time- when I started riding I would ride some days when it was 40 degrees and it would start with no issues.
I added:
-vortex rear sets
-CRG adjustable levers
-tucked-in front blinkers
-new pilot power tires
-a new K&N filter
-fresh oil change
I also have a two brothers full exhaust that I still haven''t installed and can include with the bike.
The bad: The seat had a small stress mark that has turned into a tear, it hasn''t bothered me but it happened about a week ago. A new seat usually costs about $80. Also seems like it was dropped on the right hand side at some point, has some light scratches, but didn''t really bother me so I never got a new fairing (fairing costs $70). Otherwise it has normal wear you would expect for a 11 year old bike. It''s exceptionally clean though and I''ve taken very good care of it. Excellent bike to start on, easy to control and it won''t break the bank if you drop it or crash it (it''s easy to handle though- I never dropped/crashed it). It has some nice parts on it, the motor is fresh and pulls really hard. It looks good and makes nice sounds and it''ll keep up with the newer 600s if you want it to.
I''m asking $3500 with the 2 bros. full exhaust included (not installed). I can do $3000 without the exhaust and that is really the lowest I would like to go. If there''s someone in or near MA and is ready to buy we can maybe work out a better deal.
Check it out for yourself, here are some pictures:
Fastest way to contact me is via e-mail: nik6166 (AT) gmail (DOT) com. Or send me a PM on the forums and I can get back to you that way too. Just expect one to two days for me to reply.
Let me know if you have any questions.

bump this up... I still have her and I''m lowering the price to 2500 WITH the full exhaust (uninstalled)! Blue Book is 2800 for the bike with 30k miles, I figure unless they''re 100% mint and new, they usually go for a couple hundred less. But then add in the extras and the full exhaust and it makes it a great deal.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Best way to contact me is via e-mail and that info is up on the bottom of the first post.
