flyboy1011 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/1582498392.htmlStubled across this on CL and thought I'd share for anyone interested. I've always loved the smokin' joes and if I could afford it right now I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm broke tho. Anyone else a big fan of these?

max power Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Wow, those are getting more and more rare and that one looks pretty clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 ugh. me want. I have always had a huge soft spot for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I guess it's kind of collectible, but $3300 sounds high to me... My RR cost me $3300 with a penske shock, GMD computrack fork internals, a full titanium exhaust, etc.Are these so collectible that it's really worth $3k?I just have a hard time believing that ANY bike from 1998 (even with 100 miles) is worth that much when you can buy something newer for the same price.

RVTPilot Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 That one is in really great shape, but I am with redkow. Not sure $3300 isn't too high. $25-2800 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerBoy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 mint condition it is, but doesn't a scratched engine cover means that the bike was down ? " i beleive i see scratchs on the engine cover thingy "and with not a scratch on plastic..... is it a real smokin joe or just plastics ? or is that what it meant to be just a paint ?

Reimbrandt Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 blue books for around 2800......... but thats a standard 600 and not the smokin joe edition. Guess it would be how bad you want that edition................. he is only 500 over book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesE Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 i was actually looking at this before buying my bike. He is a really nice guy and has owned it since new. He has been very meticulous when it comes to maintenance. Also if you look it up in bluebook, i think it is listed under the se edition. since it is a special edition. when i talked to him, he also said that he would throw in a jacket and come down on the price.

redkow97 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I guess i just wasn't into bikes when this was a big deal. Having owned an F2, I saw the "smokin joe's" replica body kits all over the place while i was pricing race bodywork.I'm sure what he's got is relatively rare, it's just not exciting to me. I wish the guy luck with the sale, but I don't think it's quite "classic" yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 He should see if the AMA Museum would buy it. I was just there today and they need more bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 When I sold my f3 I was able to get 2k out of it, it was not the smokin joes edition, and it had 43k on it. So I personally think that 28-3300 is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
