PMo

Price drop, New price is $5300.

Forgot the pictures the first time.  Plenty more available upon request.

Details:

2008 CBR600RR with Graffiti graphics package
Original owner, bought the bike with about 15 miles on it
All original equipment, well cared for.
All service performed at Honda Marysville (records available)
Only 6500 miles on the bike, but checked over and oil changed at the start of every riding season
Mechanically its in perfect condition
New multi compound tires only a few hundred miles ago
Cosmetically there are two minor items, both from a 0mph drop (stupid moment on my part, kickstand not all the way down). 1) Light scratching on the end of the left side hand grip (pictures available) and 2) Light scratching on the left side case cover (pictures available)

Why am I selling this bike? Typical reason, new baby has arrived so its time for this toy to go. I love the bike but don't ride it enough and could use the cash for other things.

Price: $5800

Bike can be seen in Dublin, no test rides without endorsement and $1500 deposit.

Can't do Wednesday this week, sorry I'm out.

Damn, would have been down for this ride but only just got back to check the thread. Stupid internet filters at work...

Would definitely be down for a semi-regular thing but can't make it tonight, keep me in the loop on a weekly plan.

The damper part is extra funny because the 09 ZX6R comes with an ohlins stock, lol.

never there

+1 for Yuengling, can't get it in Ohio though, no good.

Damn, I managed to totally miss this event. For my fellow Honda riders around Columbus though there is a Phoenix 600RR at Honda Marysville if you want to see it in person. I stopped by after work last week and its pretty sick.

That's way I had to go home, hands were getting so cold I couldn't manipulate the throttle as well as I'd like. Took a really long time for the tires to get warm too, nice gentle riding for the first 10 minutes or so, haha.

Nice! Thanks for the help DangBruhY.

Three pairs of pants, two shirts and two jackets and my dang hands ruin it all. Cruising down 270 I thought my right thumb was going to fall off, but I did see another rider, its not quite time to hang up the gear yet!

Sounds like there's no shortage of support and interest here, thanks for the support guys! Once I get heavy into the project if its okay with the mods I'll start a thread and try to update regularly, I'm not building this thing to make money so everything will be public and up for criticism. As far as a powerplant magifesq, I'm just not there yet, also I think I'm going to end up with a 600 for testing and upgrade to a 1000+ once the suspension is sorted and I've saved a bit more cash. If anyone knows someone who's got a running or almost running 90's 600 for $500 or less let me know.

The smart car with a Suzuki motor is a pretty neat idea, but if you check out the link to the DP1 I posted earlier its just in another category. The problem with starting with a street car is the fundamental design isn't made for going fast. By starting with my own frame I can design it so that it hardly weighs anything and so that the suspension is optimized for performance driving. If I was going to do it with a street car I think I'd start with something more like a civic coupe, with the availability of aftermarket suspension support for that frame and the low starting weight (sure its heavier than a smart car, but I can make it lose quite a few pounds) it would make a good platform for a rear engine setup. Anyway, to each his own, this type of project is all about doing what you want.

Was a bit more along the lines of what I was thinking. Maybe not with a 350 hp custom V8 made from two busa motors fused together, but something with the engine in the back to a chain driven diff with a pushrod suspension. 200 MPH in a smart car has to be terrifying too, lol.

So I've got it in my head that I'm going to build a lightweight car around a motorcycle engine. Should be good for some laughs when its done in a couple years but I've been thinking about roadblocks and one I'm very unsure about is how to get it on the road legally. Does anyone know what the laws are in Ohio about home built vehicles, kit cars, ect? Probably more likely and better yet would be if someone knew a good starting point to find this information. I'm planning to use a bike with a title so I think I could assign the vehicle that VIN and title. Any thoughts discouraging or encouraging?
