ScubaCinci Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Located in Cincinnati OH (45242)SOLDMileage ~7,400 (may increase)Clear title in hand. No test rides without cash in hand.I'm on the fence about selling but thought I would dangle it out there just the same. I love this bike. Hands down the best I've ever owned. Great power, handling and comfortable to ride. However, I've had three knee surgeries (the most recent in April) and sitting with my knee as bent as it needs to be on this bike becomes very uncomfortable for me within 15 minutes or so. So much so that it makes me not want to ride. I mostly use it for commuting (~50mi round trip) and I've ridden it to work maybe 5 or 6 times this year. Wherever I go, people stop me and ask about the bike. You don't see many around, especially this color and it gets noticed. I will probably end up getting something like a new Vstrom 1k or a Super Tenere.I bought the bike used (was a trade in) from a dealer and it had ~2200 miles in April of 2012. All farkles/mods done by me. I don't baby my bikes but it's well cared for, always garaged and hasn't been abused, wheelied or crashed. The only time it's seen rain is the day I bought it (all the way from Columbus - doh!), otherwise, I do not ride in the rain. I've changed the oil 4 times in the 2+ years I've owned it which is way more than needed but it's easy and cheap to do. Once mid season and once before winter storage and I always use full synthetic oil. I always leave it on a trickle charger when sitting for any length of time. It's ready to ride! IMO it's perfectly set up with the following:> Healtech GiPro gear indicator> Dual Yoshimura Titanium cans with CF tips> Power Commander V (perfectly tuned, no backfires!)> Real Pazzo adjustable levers> Pro-Bolt orange accessories (oil cap, rear brake res cap, various bolts)> Kawasaki tall Screen> Muzzy's Fender Eliminator> Rascal Graphix Z1000 Tank Pad> Rhino bar-ends with Arrow mirrors> Sargent Seat (driver only) with custom orange welt> K&N air filter (changed the end of last season)> SpeedMetal front/rear spools (I'll also throw in the stands)> OES frame sliders> Michelin Pilot Road III front/rear (~1500 mi)I also have parts not shown on the bike...> Rizoma "Elisse" Mirrors> Stock seat, mirrors, exhaust, wind screen if you want them.> SW-MOTECH Blaze Sport Saddlebag System (was $350 new). I have some older pics with these on the pics if interested in seeing it. Great for commuting/touringDisclosures (see pics): > It's only been "down" once - taking it out of the garage this spring, it fell over in the driveway, partially in the mulch bed. Ugh. The result is a slightly scraped crankcase and the chin spoiler has a small crack. Not really noticeable unless you are looking closely. > The PO put a small nick in the tank (zoomed out pic). Either he or the dealer 'repaired' it but it's still visible. Never bothered me so I've never done anything about it. > There are a few paint chips on the front scoop from rocks or something and the tail has a small wear mark from the saddle bags Edited July 10, 2014 by ScubaCinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 this class of bike is one of my weaknesses. Far more power than necessary, and far less bodywork than is probably useful with the speeds it can obtain. I love everything about it It's too bad CL isn't full of idiots, or you could probably work out a decent trade + cash for something more comfortable. Maybe spring for the fee and post on the WERA classifieds? I like to think the quality of buyer is better, and you have a nationwide network of racers who are willing (and competent) to help with transport. LBTS. GLWS.
