Cheapest 08 CBR1000 i've seen, seems kind of odd with an engine replacement but if he's got proof that it'd been done i'd totally buy this if I thought I could handle a literbike right now.

It's likely not totally bullshit, however there never was a "factory recall" for the clutch, only a "service upgrade campaign". The dude could have ignored that and eventually damaged his crankshaft. Honda might have replaced his engine pr kulance, but it seems a bit unlikely.

I'm actually really temped to pick this up, the brake lever/shifter are maybe 70$ total, I could probably ride this for a little while and sell it for 2500 or more, might take a look at it tommorow.

The 2008 CBR's had a big problem with burning oil that led to lots of warranty work. Many units had piston and top end jobs very early in their lives, and Honda eventually started swapping engines out. I'd put money that this is the real reason his engine was exchanged.

My coworker bought one to replace his '93 CBR900RR at an incredibly cheap price knowing about the issue. A couple thousand miles later it's starting to show evidence of oil on the exhaust. Do your research, the CBR boards are full of info on this.

Does that ad you linked say how many miles are actually on the bike? 5k on the new engine, ?? on the chassis?

A little to racey looking, can it be stripped down to look like a naked standard pretty easily? The bike's for an older friend.

It might look weird with the front fairing stripped off unless you replace the gauges and get a new headlamp.

I don't know a ton about UJMs but there's an '82 GS750 for sale right now too that's a lot more standard looking.

Didn't realize you were in Seattle! You guys have a little better market for bikes up there than we do I've noticed. My roomate's got a GS500e like this one and it's pretty great. Kind of a good in-between and a great starter bike.

Seller double posted but it's the same bike. One ad shows the second side and explains it slid a ways on it's side. Doesn't look too bad really.

Based on the pics it looks like it'll need a tank, tailsection, slip-on and most likely new forks. Nothing you couldn't source from ebay or the ZRXOA.org forums for a few hundred bucks I'd like to think.

I'd buy this one myself if I had a place to keep it.

It's obscene how much cheaper bikes are outside of southern California, or California in general. It's rare to see a sub $1,500 bike that's safely ridable around here.

edit2: I take it back, it's really just San Diego. LA has tons of cheap(er) bikes.

I had to put some maintenance into my last three bikes, but all of them have been pretty cheap from the SF craigslist. I got an '82 KZ1100 for $700, it had a hole in the exhaust but everything else was great on it, an '02 SV 650 with 20k with a good frame, but beat up from being dropped for $1300 and currently an '07 R1 with 5k for $2500. Blown head gasket, but that wasn't too tough to replace.
