It's official.
 

Fucking asshole just sold it. Couldn't wait til Friday.

But stickers add like 100 hp!



:lol: j/k, congrats!

Slick. Very nice.

Thanks. Anybody ever remove wheel tape? Is it hard to get it off without ruining the shine of the wheel?

What do the wheels say?

If you are careful and use heat and goo gone, you should be able to get it off without messing up the powder coat.

And take your time.

It says a couple things. Has Monster on there, and some racing team. He put 'em on there really well, but I don't do wheel tape.

For sure. Just couldn't read it from the pic.

Congrats Dlit.....Very Nice!...Well now we should be pretty evened up come track day...except for skills anyways! :boobs:

sweeeeeet.

when's the next track day? ;)

Comes off super easy. it's just regular vinyl.

It'll proly take a while before I can put down faster times than my R6 on the R1...if it ever even sees the track.

He's got it geared -1 and _1 (that "I'm gay" shit is dumb). I think I'll be rocking stock gearing first.

Oh it'll see the track! LOL

Shhhhhhhh.

Delete this now useless thread. Prick just sold that shit to somebody else.

For real? :wtf: WHAT THE FUCK.

Yup!

What a dick head. It's only 2 more days.

I know. Back to Craigslist for me...

Sucks man. Good luck.

what the fuck was it?

what a fucking cock.. dudes like that need a nice swift kick to the junk! Assholes

A sick R1, 2007.

Wasn't meant to be!!..next time don't jinx it!!:boobs:..It's hard but thats how it always goes!

damn... thought you were never going to a liter? thought I remembered ya saying that... though I could be mistaken....

or were you just gonna keep it for the track?

well sounds to me like the dude agreed to sell it, that's a Done Deal in my book... so no Jinxing there... now if dude said if it's still here on Friday then it's yours... yeah

:2cents:

R6 woulda been track. R1 woulda been street. DOn't really feel like explain the whole liter bike topic right now.

:lol: it's cool... no need to explain it... you want it, it's your $... get it....


just thought I remembered ya saying something like that.


good luck with the hunt...

Not disputing what's right or wrong just everytime you speak before something happens seems to go the other way!!..just speaking from my own experience in life!...The guy proly got more $$$ from someone else or changed his mind and kept it or traded for something else he wanted would be my guess...Bottom line...not meant to be...something better waiting down the road!

I am betting the guy told the dude who came and bought it that he had a sure thing at dlits money and the dude offered him more and he took it. I would do the same shit. I would of never told dlit it was reserved for him in the first place though. That is shady. I don't consider it reserved til I have the cash in my hand.

True story.

i shoulda gave him some hold money, ya. But still...when you give somebody your word, at least give him a chance to see if he/she can match what somebody else is offering. I woulda paid $7,800 for it. That's what the book is, plus he has almost $2k in mods.

Fuck it. I'm looking at a '08 1000RR tomorrow. Same price, just that it's bone stock. I started these searches with a R1 or RR in mind. We'll see what happens...

I know I'm not posting SHIT until I have it my garage, lol. God, I want to drink so much right now.

Either that or someone offered him the same money but was ready to pay on the spot. If he told DLIT it was his if he got the cash by Friday that was stupid on his part. If he sat around waiting for that money while someone was waving the same amount or more in his face that would be even dumber.:shrug:

It still sucks and good luck finding another. Prices do seem a little high there. There are at least a half dozen similar R1s on Craigslist around here listed for $7,500 or less.

that sucks dude. Sorry. :(

You may want to check cycletrader.com for the CBR. Here is one ad for a still new 08 for $7,600. New matters to some more than others. If it matters to you it may be worth the extra that shipping will cost you. That also assumes the dealer isn't chucking hundreds more on top for prep fees and shit.

There's plenty for that or lower here, too. Just too many miles for my liking. I can get a leftover '09 for $9,400 OTD in Cali. I'm gonna bring that quote to a dealer here and see what they can do on a leftover '09.

Why a liter for the street?

IMO...get the 1000rr 2009 instead of an 07 R1. The R1 needs mods to get it right. The Honda has good shit outta the box. It's too much power for my tastes tho.

600 track bike FTW! Good luck finding a bike man, I feel ya. I wouldnt mind having a 1k for the street either, I think Im getting lazy, but I wouldnt trade my 600 on the track for a 1k.

Looking at a '08 RR today. Same price, bone stock, 5000 miles.

That's an awesome bike as long as it's not one of the one's with the oil issues.

Good luck with your search.

Great bike. I babysat one for a few months and other than the crappy honda seat, she was everything one could hope for.

Get the 08!

Explain the oil issue.

They burn more oil than BP.

Ouch. That real common, or are only certain ones affected?

AFAIK, only certain 08's had that issue and it was kinda random. The friend who had the 08 I got to play with was very concerned about it, but his didnt have the problem.

Not really sure how common it is.
I know two people with them. One had a problem, the other didn't. I think he said Honda replaced the pistons on the burner.

Sorry just saw this but it looks like you're going for the 08 R1 anyways.

If you do a google/Honda forums search I'm sure you'll see info on the 08 Honda's.

Don't get me wrong I love the 08 and later 1000RR but SEVERAL had oil burning/using issues with the 08's and I just wanted to make you aware if you hadn't heard anything about it. I'm not sure about the 09's and 10's.

Went riding with some forum guys yesterday. One had a '08 RR. Said it burns about .4 of a quart every second full tank. That's horrible.

That's insane. A buddy has an 04 1kRR and it doesn't burn anything. He changes the oil maybe once every 8k and the thing still chugs along. Is that street riding or track?

954rr is built like a tank as well

Street. Fucking guy had me worried, too. I was following him through our loop and he went pretty wide exiting some corners.

Probably rider error

! Holy cow...

Well, ya!

Ahh. I read you wrong. I thought you were worried the bike didn't handle lol

Gotchya. I'm thinking I may have been pushing him a bit. Any time I get a chance to give a liter bike a chance to pull on me, I let him try. He was all leathered up and shit, too. But I backed off after he busted a couple corners pretty bad.

Karma? :skep:

Destiny.

What does that mean?

maybe she ran over someone's dogma with her karma...

Maybe she should STFU.

....

Maybe you should eat a bag of dicks. :dribble:

Maybe it's karma he sold it....maybe he'll get "whats coming to him" for selling it (the seller I mean). :idk:

:lmao:

Dammit, that's the 3rd time today I've had pepsi coming out of my nose

Classy.

Thank you. And you as well. :lol

Maybe you should show him how that's done!:boobs:

Wow good observation. You must have went to college.

Nah your momma taught me

Because unless you're still in your 20's, high rpm's get really old on long trips.

Good choice on the Yamaha. Way better fit & finish than Honduh any day of the week.
