Copied from my ad on the WERA boards. This bike is amazing I am sad to sell it. I am selling my 2009 Yamaha R6 Race/track bike. This is a turn key ready to race or ride on the track bike in very good condition with a long list of performance parts and spare parts included. The engine is stock and runs very strong as evidenced by a couple of WERA trophies in 2014 including a win at Grattan. Title is salvage as the bike was purchased in 2010 at an auction. When I bought the bike from the previous owner we double signed and generated a bill of sale. I will provide the same for the buyer of this bike. All damage was cosmetic and it has been an extremely good track day and race day bike every since. It has to go as I am heading back to school and won't be using this for a while. It's sad because this bike is amazing. Honestly, the only thing about this bike which isn't top shelf is the hot bodies bodywork, which is perfectly functional. This bike really opened my eyes to how a really well set up bike behaves. My best estimate is that the bike has less than 3000 miles on it. 500 when purchased and 19 events between 2010 and 2015. Bike is set up for a 160 pound rider without gear. Performance Upgrades: -Ohlins 30mm fork kit (four weekends since last rebuild), -Ohlins TTX rear shock (four weekends since last rebuild), -Yamaha Kit ECU (mapped for 93 octane, previous owner had a dyno at work and calibrated engines as his job), stock ECU included as well. Includes cable and software to fiddle with the YEC ECU. -Dynojet Quickshifter, -Hot Bodies Super Sport Bodywork (foam seat), -Akrapovic race exhaust (headers and can, titanium) -Woodcraft rearsets, -Woodcraft clipons, -Woodcraft brake lever protector, -Woodcraft case covers (left and right), with some scuffs -Stomp tank grip, -Hotbodies windshield, Puig windshield, maybe a spare... -520 EK ZZZ chain, -Vortex 520 sprockets, -Vesrah RJL brake pads (3 weekends on them), -Stainless Steel brake lines, -Fully safety wired (passed WERA inspection every time), -Michelin Pilot Race tires (3-4 weekends lots of life left). -New EBC race clutch last 2014, -Driven secondary air (smog) blocking plates, -BMC racing air filter, -Vortex spin on gas cap, -Ohlins steering damper, -Exup eliminated, but the CEL is on with the YEC ECU in there because there is no exup elminator device. full disclosure: I do not know how to disable the rev limiter in second gear at 7k, I think it's the pit lane speed limiter. I just short shift. It's somewhere in the documentation that will come with the bike, I didn't want to play with it. Spare parts included: -Two additional sets of wheels, One with older rain tires, one either bare or with new pilot super sports (not the DOT race tires, i would prefer to keep this set of tires, but its negotiable.) Both front wheels include rotors. -front rotor -Many, many sprockets front and rear, -Two extra Sprocket hubs, -axles front and rear -Spare levers, -Spare bars, -Spare used brake pads with life left, -Spare windscreens, -Spark plugs -rear sets -case slider pucks and gaskets -extra chain -more miscellaneous items shown in the pictures Negotiable extras not included in price: -3 temp selectable dunlop branded chicken hawk Tire warmers -Honda Generator -GPX lap timer -AMB hard wired transponder -Go-pro (I think it's the white? it does 1080p 60fps which is better than I need) -battery tender Delivery available within a few hours drive of Cleveland OH, negotiable. $7,000

So I've got an idea... What if we left Nelsons in rough shape and marketed it as the ultimate test of adventure style bikes? We could have 'Beak Week'. Everyone on a v-strom could come and splash through potholes, camp among mosquitos, and tell everyone how badass it was? We can sell "I survived an EPA disaster zone" t-shirts to raise money for anti-guard rail campaigns. Isn't Ohio already some kind of haunted house capital of the midwest? we could have a sort of haunted run down race track to accompany it... Seriously though, still happy that someone is taking steps to move the place along, small things add up...

I heard a rumor Nelson Ledges was being rebuilt to host MotoGP in 2017, is that true? What is their policy on steel rails? I thought they used transparent aluminum?

This is a bit of a buzzkill, but I'm hearing good things about the long term plans for the track. I hope this gets some attention and helps draw people in, even if we have to be patient for a bit. I'm going to hold off on the 250 for now I guess.

Luckily we have all the stuff at Grattan in the meantime. Hope they are able to work through this on a good schedule.

I'm picking up my prepped 250 on Saturday morning. The guy I'm buying it from knows of several others, some which may potentially be for sale. Anyone interested in details let me know.

Just to be clear... This may or may not be beer I brew in my bathtub or find on the curb or something. But free is free right? I'll promise at least coors light if we get to 12 entries.

Probably pulling the trigger on a prepped 250 this weekend. Who else is thinking about it? I'm working on race strategy now... You guys in my class can count on me for all the free beer you can drink the night before!

http://sandusky.craigslist.org/mcd/5442498890.html From previous experience I'm more interested in the racing than the absolute speed, up to a point. A big class of people that can get out regularly would be great. Looking at last years results it looks like there's almost 10 people that show up on any given day. Maybe we can bump that up little by little.

I hope this works out for the best. The track is a half hour from my house. I want to buy a 250 specifically to race there with motoseries because it seems like a good group.

Can I get bumped back to novice so I look like a hero? I'm not going for big fish in a small pond, I'm going for whale in a bathtub here! Looking forward to this year. Sounds like the group running the show is putting in a lot of effort.

Sold!

I can include some takeoff michelin DOT's if that helps anyone move a little further towards an offer.

I will be at mid-ohio monday if anyone would like to come take a look (or a test ride if serious).

Anyone for Monday? I'm going to try to sort out some bike stuff and get back out.

Stock front end is sold. Let me know if there are any questions I can answer. This bike has been great. If it wasn't for Bruce pointing out a great deal on the new (to me) R6 I would have no problem continuing to ride this. I can throw in some pilot cups with a bit of life left to sweeten the pot. (would need to mount the 5.5" gsxr rear. Also, found a spare rear master cylinder in my stuff. Goes with the bike.

So I can't edit the original post to fix some typos, but wanted to clarify after some questions: The track plastics are not in any way cracked, it's the street plastics that have the hairline around the slider hole. I can deliver to Mid-O many of the days we are there. The bike is in the trailer now, so I could very deliver reasonable distance in/from northeast Ohio if someone was interested in the near future. Whoever buys the bike has right of refusal on googly eyes. If they come off the bike they go on my bridgeport. LOL Also, sorry I don't have any spare race plastics to sell separately. If whoever buys it doesn't want the body for some weird reason I will let you know.

So, I bought an R6 for a race/track bike. I like this bike a lot, but the adult in me says I need to get rid of a few things for right now. Details: -2003 SV650S -Clean title -Approx 10k miles -2007 GSXR750 front end, ohlins valving by thermosman (the go to guy for Ohlins), 0.90 and 1.0 springs go with the bike -Ohlins SU606 shock set up by Thermosman (I'm 155ish without gear, the bike is hooked up) -Unlike a lot of swapped bikes, the speedometer/odometer works, and I used the right top triple to put the key in the factory location. -Ohlins steering damper -GSXR clip ons -Stock Nissin Master cylinder as a spare -19x18 Brembo master is on there now -Galfer stainless lines -Performance friction pads (7598.95.08.92 95 compound) -New motion pro clutch cable -New OEM clutch -Clutch and sidestand safety wired out by jumpering, soldering, and heat shrinking (I have the stock switches if you want to put them on) -Woodcraft (CFM) rearsets, standard shift -SV racing adjustable rearset mounting plates -High mount Holeshot exhaust -Pirelli diablo rosso corsa tires with lots of life left -new chain and sprockets (stock gearing, 3 days on them) -New plugs -New fluids and filters -Valves checked in spec within the last 500 miles -Armour bodies body work, mounted very well and accuratley with high quality dzus fasteners, never crashed -Stock windscreen -Motosliders (no-cut style for lower fairings) -generic stomp grips on tank -partly safety wired (oil filter, drain) I'm going to warn you: My 2 year old nephew picked the paint job. It looks like a tiger. Which is hilarious. The googly eyes are safety wired, passing on the inside makes for some pretty great photos. ALSO -GSXR600 5.5" rear wheel (with a small dent in the rim, holds air fine, comes with rotor)Free with bike if you want to do a 180 swap -I have almost all of the stock parts including the side stand, sidestand switch, left bar controls, headlights, headlight harness, tail light, lots of turn signals, mirrors, fender eliminator, GSXR and stock rear shocks, Rear seat, rear sets, levers, tail plastics, LOWER FAIRINGS and upper fairing, all the hardware was put into bags and labeled so you would know where it goes. -Zero gravity sport touring screen THE BAD: -The upper fairing was damaged in a lowside at putnam. It has a hole in one side. -The lower fairing has some hairline cracks around the slider. The worst of which is probably three quarters of an inch long but not too noticeable. (I have the original paint that was put on the bike so you could fix this if you cared. There is another repaired crack where the upper part of the lower fairing goes behind the upper fairing, so you wouldn't see it on the bike. -The grab handle has some rash from the lowside -the rear subframe was slightly modified to help with the race body work: the helmet hooks were cut off as was one of the rear seat supports. You can't have passenger pegs with the high mount exhaust anyway, so basically what I did was give you a bigger trunk if you want to make this into a street bike. -Pegs have some marks (because I drag them sometimes, oops) -The previous owner had the dealer re-seal the tank because of some slight rust, you can see the coating around the edges of the fill hole, there is NO rust in the fuel. -Slight bend in the radiator from low side. No leaks whatsoever. As a track bike this thing is fun, it's hooked up well after the thermosman setup. I enjoyed it as a street bike and a track bike, but I have a few other bikes and not a load of time to ride them all. You can use this as a track bike, or put it back to street and throw on the race body for the track, or whatever. Just the bike and any spares I have for it: $2900 ALL of my street parts (excluding stock front end): $250, I will throw in some bar end mirrors too at that price. Stock front end that came off the bike in great shape: $250 I have a bunch of pictures of parts and the bike, If you're serious just come look at it if you are local or I can start e-mailing pictures. Ha, forgot about this picture, chasing a "kow-a-saki" LOL

Bruce you are scaring the children. Have you been able to train the dogs to get you beer yet?

It's ok to burn down work?

See... Going to the track is the only thing that keeps me from burning down my workplace during emergencies. LOL. Jester are you going to share this newfound secret of excellence? In for sunday. Trying to figure out if I can be at work for something until 9, then drive down and be at the track from about 10:30 to close on Monday. Haven't heard back from the track yet if that's OK.
