I'd give $5K for it, but his inflated sense of value tells me he may not need your money. But you can't know if you don't ask. I've just had a thing for black with white wheels. Jeep, Mini Cooper, more bikes, and on and on. I had a black 911 I was going to paint the wheels white. Are you sure you'll fit on this thing.
Like a Shriner on a mini bike........LOL! I wanted an ST3, but that was $15.5K..........thanks! I'll send him a message!
Well, I knocked it $500.00 higher, not yet to the Reserve.......maybe $5K??? There's about 5 bidders on it, are you playing on this one Uro???? Edit: Took it up $1,000, still Reserve Not Met....he's proud of this thing! I asked for a Buy It Now amount!! LOL! I'm a terrible eBayer!!! 7 hours to go...I'm up against an automated bidder.....
alan, if yu are seriously contemplating a buy...you should but my 916. it is immaculate and has many mods and a single or biposto seating option. zero miles on new race-compound dot rubber too. not much of a price difference either. pcb
Well, okay then...I didn't know!!! Urotrash started it......LOL! I guess I should "try one on." Does it have a side stand, so I can stop at the Ice House??? I'd want a passenger seat, I guess I forgot.... Doesn't look like this deal is 'on' unless HE softens up.....I was counting on you, to help!!
I guess the one in Austin was a better deal, at $3300! Is that high miles, 24K?? It just sounds like a lot.......
24k is not super-high miles if the bikes has been cared for properly. If you buy and have to get it serviced (oil change, valve adjustment, new belts, carb sync), figure $600. Maybe a little more or less. Should be good to go unless the clutch/brake/chain/tires also need replacing. if all those need attention too you could have $5k in that $3300 bike pretty fast. Just as important as the mechanicals is the cosmetics. It is just like a car, you can get it working great mechanically but refurbishing the cosmetics is expensive and difficult. The black one has been for sale for some time, I think a few months ago in a previous auction it had a BIN $8900 IIRC.
I told you, terrible eBayer! Valeria found her computer at home corrupted pretty bad so by the time it was clear... Did $5,200 meet reserve????? I doubt it....nope it didn't, apparently he had a Buy It Now in an earlier auction of $8K or so.... That second thread shows his real name I guess I could call him!!!
Maybe.....someone found me a 2006 ST3 with 200 miles on it......I gotta go check that out!! I wonder why it's for sale!
Whoa!!! Check it out, the seller lost $67 MILLION dollars worth of art in a burglary! He's retired, so I don't know how I'd reach him I was hoping he'd have a practice open I could call.... He never responded to my Buy It Now question and now the auction has closed..... *shrugs shoulders*
How about a 1998 900FE, Uro???? on eBay now..... Final Edition? Never titled, 120 miles on it...single place seat tho...... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ok, I found an ST3 with only 200 miles on it, black 2006. How does $9,500.00 sound...???? The deal I wrote up on a new one was $15,500...in Alaska! Image Unavailable, Please Login
The second-generation ST bikes are quite a bit different from a 90's Supersport. Much bigger fairings and riding position is more open. $9500 might be an OK deal, but plan on changing the timing belts for sure & possibly tires. Despite the low mileage you could probably get it for a bit less, IMO.
Raining today...the 'open' part is gonna be a drag!! LOL! Thinking of getting an enclosed trailer or something......
That black/white 1992 900SS CF (1/2 fairing) came back to me with a Second Chance Buy It Now of $5,180.00..... Expires May 2, 2010.......can you pick it up, in Pebble Beach, Pete? What do you guys think about the deal?? 7K miles but look pretty good, CF pipes included he says, no idea if the stock ones are around....
That is probably a fair price. Maybe on the high end, but if it is in good shape you shouldn't feel like you overpaid.
Bump up Uro's old thread, there was a red 900SS on Ebay last weekend, when I checked....are you still looking????
