How about an R1 Supermoto?

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2934784203.html

So, bark busters and the worst headlight ever magically turn a sportbike into a supermoto?

Yes, I'd love to have a supermoto with 1.5 inches of suspension travel!

I absolutely hate that headlight. Two weeks ago, there was a streetfighter R6 that was parked outside of a coffeehouse I was in, with its rear facing me. Looked awesome as hell until I walked around to the front. :(

"Converted into Streetfighter/supermoto"

Just another way of saying i've crashed my bike and am trying to get back way too much money for it.

If I didn't already have a K1200 i'd probably pick this up:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/mcy/2938446368.html

Low 48k miles, bike is mainly garaged or covered
New metzler marathon 880s with about 1500 miles on them
Tuneup with timing belt change done around October
Also did front fork seals about that time
Runs very well, maintained at Werkstatt
Looks very good for 21 years
Comes with hardbags and tankbag

Here's what is not perfect about it:
heated handgrips need to be repaired - around 300 bucks
It has 3 cosmetic flaws. One touch up on the tank, a touch up on the back and on the front fairing.
It's priced to move today. Check out the pictures; it looks great.

Those alien face headlights sell for $130. For around $40 you can get 7 inch headlight that mounts to the forks. Someone could clean up if they put the words streetfighter and supermoto in their listings.

He says the blue tank is gone and has been replaced with a nice black one, I'm awaiting updated pictures though.

I'm thinking offer him a grand, get it running, and then sell it for ....? I'm not quite sure what these things are worth, not to mention the fact that it only has 5500 miles.

I've seen a 96 model year for 2000$ in clean running shape, I also considered picking it up but I read about the 16inch front wheel and it does make tire options kind of slim, only decent tire I found that come in 16inch are BT-016s.

A particular gen (no idea which) VFR 17" front wheel slots straight in with no mods needed.

e: Visordown sez: "The 16” front wheel feels a little odd and limits tyre choice but the 1998 VFR750F-V wheel goes straight in without spacers if you want to change it."

Just went and saw this, and dear god was it a heap of poo poo. First off, it's been sitting for so long because 10 minutes into the owner's first ride, the chain snapped. The chain snapped because the rear axle was missing its bolt and the cush drive was left to its own devices. How the gently caress do you not check things like this before you ride a new-to-you bike?

In addition to that, there were small problems such as:
-no rear brake caliper
-no front master cylinder or brake lever
-toasted tires and sprockets
-"modded" wiring harness
-leaky fork seals and
-tweaked forks
-rusty tank (Turns out the new tank was the lovely blue one that had been spray bombed black. With one coat. Poorly.)
-broken fairing stay
-random crash damage
etc.,etc.,etc.

I offered him 200 bucks, he didn't bite :v:

An ad like that lets me know that, 1: he knows how to write passably well so he's not a complete mouthbreathing retard and 2: he's really loving into motorcycles. Put those together you might get what you pay for without any major surprises...beyond possible jizz stains of course.

http://longisland.craigslist.org/mcy/2891428506.html

EDIT: I guess my biggest concern would be the aftermarket bars he put on. I'm looking at the 650r because it's a bit more of a standard than a sportbike (at least, from what I can gather about it, but I could be wrong), so these sport bars aren't exactly what I'm looking for - but my biggest concern is whether or not they've been installed correctly. Anything in particular I should look for regarding alignment and full-lock?

Bars don't affect alignment. They'll only screw up going lock-to-lock if they hit the tank or something so just turn them both ways.

For sale is my 2001 Indian Scout with 15,223 miles. It's bright red and comes with too many extras to list. This bike is a real head turner. women will frequently ask for rides on it. The best thing about the bike is that once you give a woman a ride on it, she's more then willing to give you a ride. The 88 cubic inch S&S motor, combined with the Vance and Hines pipes produce a VERY pleasant auditory growl.that sets the mood. The vibrations they produce so closely match the natural frequency of a woman's nether regions that it's been known to give the passenger multiple orgasms. Luckily, the leather seat is moisture resistant. Be sure you've got a strong back if you're considering this bike because she'll be such a quivering mess after your ride that you'll have to carry her inside.
