Vehicle Description
It seems I have less and less time to actually ride this bike as it deserves to be ridden. Lately about the only exercise it’s gotten is my commute to work once or twice a week (and this bike was NOT made for commuting). When I feel like wicking it up a bit, I go to the track and ride my race bike, so this bike seems to be stuck in limbo somewhere. However, for someone who actually has the time and desire to go barrelling through the canyons, this is the perfect motorcycle. It is red and has~ 24k miles on it, now here are the details.
In PERFECT mechanical order. This bike has been serviced by Ken Zeller (evoluzione cyclesports - the people that built Tom Cruise’s crazy 999s) and Scotty Waters (ex-race engine builder for Vance & Hines Ducati - generally recognized as one of the finest ducati techs/tuners in california) and I have ALL records to prove any bolt that’s ever been turned on this bike. Also, any mods were professionally installed by these men and not by some shadetree mechanic (me). The 24k service is DONE and had new belts/valves adjusted/forks done/brake fluid flushed/the whole shebang.
Mods:
-5 Spoke Black Marchesini Wheels off an S2R-1K.
-Cycle Cat adjustable clip-ons.
-Remus Titanium 1/2 system w/ matching DP chip.
-AP Racing adjustable ratio master cylinder (puts Brembo to shame - a $700 piece, came off a WSBK!).
-AFAM quick-change rear carrier/sprocket.
-Aftermarket clutch cover (can’t remember who made it tho).
-I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but this bike truly needs nothing unless you feel you need ohlins suspenders (and who wouldn’t like those?).
Issues:
- Mechanically, as I said, there are none, this bike is perfect.
- DOES need a new rear tire within probably 500 miles.
- A few scratches on the lower fairing, very small and nothing abnormal for a bike that is 6 years old.
-There is one spot (shown in one of the detail pics) where the previous owner dropped it in his garage and he half caught it, leaving a little scuff that didn’t even break the surface of the paint completely.
- The Infostrada on the side of the bike IS a decal and is removable should you care to (It was there when I bought it and I actually came to like it). It was put on by the previous owner and is not a perfect application, but like I said it is removable and I think it looks pretty nice.
The bike is a BiPosto and includes the passenger pegs (not shown in picture) and the passenger seat (currently has a monoposto seat cover installed). So, you will get both the seat cover and the passenger seat - you can choose whether you want the mono or bi-posto look.
I have described this bike to the best of my ability, but if you have any questions, please feel free to email me and I will get back to you as quick as possible. Also, if you are near Los Angeles, I am more than open to having you come by to check it out in person. The title is clear and in my possession and the registration is paid-in-full til june 2008 (california tags).
