Selling My 599

(I'm feeling blah)

Not the one I rode up Mt Washington or on The Dragon. No, this one:

There really isn't much point in having two identical 599s. I could fix it first, but I would rather leave that burden to the buyer.

So the bike is up on craigslist.org now. I've already gotten one call with an "I'll think about it." I wish people would do as I ask in my ad and watch my video first. While the bike can be made like new again (which would probably end up being more than the bike is worth) or can be fixed up just enough to make it a ridable bike, there is some work involved. Not everyone is up to that. I'm not.

That's why I'm trying to sell it. That and I have another project I need funding for. Shhhh! Don't whisper a word of that to anyone!

When I was a kid, I was an avid rock collector. I also had a lapidary kit. Unfortunately it was cheap and the damn lid would keep falling off and dumping out the contents while i was still in the 80 grit stage :-(

I've got some nice rocks and rocks that used to be nice. Some things need to be stored in a warm & dry area. My grandmother's old house (the victorian that is now gone) was not like that in its final years.

The bike is good for making into a rat bike, street fighter, or track bike. The bent header is not severe enough to really hurt engine performance. And it certainly isn't like everything needs to be replaced to make it street legal and safe.

The clear title will make insurance a snap.

Sadly, the economy is against me now. It is a buyer's market to be sure. If I had the money, I could get a CBR1000RR for a little less than a special edition CBR600RR. Both are 2008 models.

:( Bummer about your first bike man ):
It is too bad the estimate was that expensive, you could get the price down if you skip out on the useless bits, just fix the fork assembly. Good luck on the sale, maybe someone out there would take the time to more...fix her up again. And a spare parts bike would be rather nice, if you like to wrench.

Nice rock collection, I have some as well, usually collect one or two when I travel to different regions, it is a fun but heavy hobby.
