Hey guys, I need some cash and am selling the bird. It's an 03 with 19k well pampered miles and has the following mods:

4into2into1 full titanium akrapovic exhaust system with carbon fiber can
corbin gunfighter with backrest (stock seat in mint condition included)
power commander III usb
Double bubble
new DID 530 gold chain and new sprockets
Michelin power pilot 2ct's
acumen digital voltage/gear indicator
frame plugs
custom stainless center stand stay to accommodate the exhaust
ebc sintered brake pads
cam chain tensioner
Bar end helmet lock and throttle miester
oram headlights
wired for beltronic's rx65 radar detector
all fresh fluids and only respol oil used

I am sure there is more, but that's all I can think of right now

I am the second adult owner and it has been garaged since new. The paint is perfect with the exception of a few pebble scratches on the left side where it fell in a gravel drive. The bike has never been wrecked or down.
All parts have been installed in the last 400 miles, all were purchased new, the tires have about 200 miles on them and the chain and sprockets have about 50 on them. Everything on this bike works as it should and all work has been professionally completed. Also included is the stock exhaust that is perfect with the exception of a small dimple in one of the cans, still looks very nice. I am asking $6500.00 obo, The only reason I am selling is that I do not ride it enough and we are buying a new boat and I need the cash. I tried to post pics but cannot, If you email me I will send you as many as you like. Also it is listed on the other CBR XX website with plenty of pics! renhalt@comcast.net

Excellent Bird from the read. The perfect Bird for some smart peepster. Decent price for an outstanding motorcycle. imo

renhalt · 07-09-2009, 1:02 PM

Thanks! I really appreciate your help.

Merged the two threads.

Strek · 07-10-2009, 6:36 AM

Nice bike. Good luck with the sale. It also looks like you have some Heli bars or some other aftermarket clipons if I'm not mistaken. Sweet.

Poundstretcher · 07-10-2009, 7:28 AM

We do not seem to see bikes like that for sale over here very often

CanadianBird · 07-10-2009, 8:29 AM

Hardly anyone lives down there. Isn't that the way you like it? lol

Dogman · 08-16-2009, 1:16 AM

Is this bike still for sale?

renhalt · 08-16-2009, 9:01 PM

Yeah the bike is still for sale, call me if your serious.

blackbirdxx · 08-17-2009, 8:42 PM

I would love to buy this bike....Can you help me get it to Omaha? Looks like it is in great condition, how are the fairings? Any damage at all?

Fly to Florida. Ride it home.

renhalt · 08-18-2009, 1:59 PM

That's what i told him. It would be a nice ride, or better yet I will ride it up there and he pays expenses!

renhalt · 08-21-2009, 10:27 PM

You know, I am amazed! I have looked on both sites at everything for sale and I have only had a few offers. I cant believe someone hasn't jumped all over this bike. I mean it has everything you could ask for. Corbin gunfighter and lady, Akropovic full titanium exhaust with cf can, heli bars, new 2ct tires, sentered brakes, power commander usb, acumen volt/gear indicator. And all stock parts to go with it.

I don't think it's because there is anything wrong with the bike, but rather because we all own one already.

Have you advertised it on some non-XX sites?

Strek · 08-22-2009, 10:52 AM

Renhalt... This is a sweet looking bike. It could be like Shewie said that most of us here already have an XX. Still you see folks posting up now and then saying that they are looking for a bird here on the forum. Maybe nobody close to you right now. Adding shipping to the cost might be prohibitive for some if they are not close to where you live. Flying down and driving back also adds cost for those that are not close. I will say that in the past that extra added cost has caused me to pass on some nice bikes that I have seen. What a nice ride and adventure it would be though. If I didn't already have one myself I would be interested in yours. I like that you also still have the stock seat and pipes. I'm personally not a fan of the corbin seats and happen to like the stock seat but that corbin would come in handy when riding two up even for me. My experience with the corbins is also from a different bike so it could be a lot different with the XX corbin. I sure would like to try one with that exhaust system that you have on your bike. That CF can looks great and everybody raves about the akrapovic exhaust system. TI and carbon. You can't beat that set up. Sometimes its just a matter of timing and finding a buyer close to you. Have you considered putting it on cycletrader or craigslist?

renhalt · 08-22-2009, 11:11 PM

Blackbirdxx and I have worked out a price, but he wants to go through escrow.com Has anyone ever had any experience with them? I guess the buyer deposits the money into this escrow account then I ship the bike to the buyer, if he is alright with everything then he releases the money to the seller. Sounds complicated to me, and besides the buyer is the only one really protected. I mean my bike will be 8 states away and I don't even have the money. What's to prevent the buyer from not following through with the deal? Then what I have to pay to ship it back? Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Poundstretcher · 08-23-2009, 6:53 AM

Tough call but I wouldn't be sending my bike anywhere if I didn't have the cash in my hand. I would rather make an allowance for the buyer to come and see it, do the deal and help him arrange the shipping.

When I moved to Tasmania the movers put a dent in the fuel tank $1000 replacement I was Insured but who would decide who was responsible for that if the bike was sold unseen?

I am not saying the buyer is not to be trusted, just too many variables for both parties and like you say the cash is safe but the bike is out of your hands

I bought a bike a few years back from a guy in Melbourne, I lived in Cairns just under 3000k away. Sent me the pics etc, said he was confident in the info he sent to me. Agreed to refund the airfare if I bought it. I went down picked it up and took a few days riding back up the east coast great trip

Dogman · 08-23-2009, 12:20 PM

HELL NO! Dont do it!

(then again I;m trying to sell one bike to buy this bike!)

Beaverbreath · 08-23-2009, 6:26 PM

You know I bought mine in June of this year. The bike was all stock, no nice goodies like you have and I paid the same as what you are asking for yours. I would have loved to fly to Florida,(what an adventure) have you pick me up at the airport and buy the bike and head for home. There would have been a bit of red tape at the border, but no problem if the title was clear, but I would have checked that out before I left home. If Florida is like here the recession might be having an impact on your sale, along with credit. Yes credit, people seem to go out and buy from a dealer new or used and pay more just so they can finance the purchase instead they miss out on a great buy like yours! I Buy some on Ebay and when I lay out a few hundred on a purchase, I worry and worry until I have the item in my hand. And that is insured through Ebay. Do you have any insurance on this transaction? You will sell it when you least expect it. Good luck.

renhalt · 08-23-2009, 8:57 PM

Thanks I appreciate your input. I kinda feel the same way. I mean the guy is getting a smokin deal on the bike, and is worried about the bike checking out. I mean anyone who knows anything about these bikes can look at the pics and clearly see it's no junk. I have sold go fast boats for $85,000. on ebay sight unseen, I just sold two 08 yamaha fxsho jetskis for $25,000. and shipped to Baltimore, MD. I don't know, on one hand i want to sell it. On the other, it seems to be more trouble than what its worth. I guess I am lucky, Im in no pinch and don't have to sell it if I don't want to.

I would never even let someone TEST RIDE a motorcycle I was selling without first having MONEY IN HAND.....much less allow it to be shipped halfway across the country with no money first to someone Ive never even met in person?
(no offense directed your way blackbirdxx)
