    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.

1992 Honda ST1100 ABS

I'm finally selling my 1992 Honda ST1100 ABS. It's been a good friend but I've neglected it in recent years and life decisions mean I likely won't be riding again, at least for a long time.

First off, this is a mechanic's bike and not for anyone who doesn't have experience wrenching. The bike has been sitting now for over 8 years. I did go through the carbs about a year ago and got it running but I didn't resync the carbs and I also didn't replace the rubber boots that hold them to the heads. It was running well enough, though, for a short ride of a few miles. Now, since it's been sitting again, I need to, at the very least, drain all old gas and add new gas. I may have to open the carbs again but I doubt that will be necessary to get the bike running as when I opened them up a year ago, there really wasn't any gunk in them. I did add new float needle valves and new float bowl gaskets. The slide diaphragms are in good shape and the jetting has been changed to Canadian specs plus I raised the stock needles 0.5mm with some custom machined washers.

The bike has almost 87,000 miles on it which is nothing for a Honda ST1100. They typically go 200,000+ miles. It's always had a diet of Redline full synthetic engine oil and might burn about a cup or so in 10,000 miles. Essentialy nothing. Final drive also runs Redline. It's also never been down except for a driveway tip over before I got it by the original owner (as I recall, it was Dan of Honda Milpitas).

There are a bunch of notes regarding the bike that I'll put in the next post. I'd really like to get 1500 for it, but I'm open to offers. The bike could be parted out for a lot more. And don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Note: The ST1100 is a super reliable bike that makes for an excellent commuter or long range touring bike. It's been used and is still used by police departments all around the world. With a little work, you can have a reliable bike that will never let you down and last for many years to come. I'd put her back on the road myself but as I mentioned, I'm not riding anymore right now.

If anyone is really serious about buying the bike, I'll do what' necessary to get it running again. Right now it will start fine but won't rev.

Cheers!

It's a '92 ABS ST with 86923 miles on it. I bought it with 8900 miles from the owner of the Honda dealership in Milpitas.

When last running on a regular basis, it was strong and ran like new. It's always had a diet of Redline synthetic 10w-40.

Final drive and splines are in fine shape. Redline again for the final drive lube and the drive splines have always been taken well care of using Honda’s special high moly content paste.

Forks: The springs modified and the forks re-valved by Lindemann Engineering. Set up for me (265 with riding gear). Needs at least a flush, new fluid and seals. Fantastic performance, though.

Rear shock: Works Performance Pro Racer set up for my riding style (brisk) and weight (see above).

The ABS system works fine, though by now the hydraulic system needs a thorough cleaning and fresh fluid. All rotors are at or near their minimum so should also be replaced.

Tires are way way old, of course, and MUST be replaced.

I have a Clearview Gen3 screen on it. At 6’1”, I can just see over comfortably. I also have the original screen.

I designed and built a small platform for my Escort 8500 detector. The detector attaches with Velco. (Detector not included.)

The bike has a pair of PIAA 910's on it with Ron Major mounts. (Ron Major was a legendary long distance rider who design, made and sold these highly coveted driving light mounts for the ST1100.) Currently they’re running 55 watt bulbs but I have the original 110 watt bulbs.

I also have a top box in the original metallic red of the 92 and 93 models. It is in excellent condition as most of its life it’s been sitting on a shelf in my garage.

The carbs obviously need proper tuning. They have been re-jeted to Canadian spec and the needles have been raised 1/2 mm with custom machined spacers. I highly recommend replacing the rubber boots holding the carbs on as well. (I will get the bike running if there’s any interest in it so that it can be ridden.)

A marine grade fuse box for accessories is installed.

It’s had the 40 amp alternator upgrade. The source to supply voltage to the alternator field coil has been rewired to tap directly off the battery via relay.

A Datel volt meter is installed.

There is a Powerlet outlet for heated riding gear (with Garbing heat controller). There is a second outlet that is direct fused to the battery (makes hooking up a charger or electric air pump easy).

The smog system has been removed. This includes the PAIR air injection system, the charcoal canister, and the remainder of the fuel vapor recovery system.

I have a nearly new stock seat for it. The old seat also comes with the bike.

I've installed tapered roller bearings for the steering stem with new seals and synthetic grease.

The rear swing arm bearings were serviced when I did the alternator upgrade.

Various things like timing belt, coolant hoses, etc replaced during the years.

Note: Up until I stopped riding, it rode and performed flawlessly. 'Never burned more than a cup of oil in 10,000 miles. More miles, actually, as often I'd never add oil between oil changes.

Owner's manual and various spare parts and things are included.

It’s metallic red and faded here and there.

Battery was replaced (top of the line Yuasa) last summer and has been on a Battery Tender ever since.

It has a Kisan headlight modulator.

It has Kisan brake light bulb modulators.

It currently has a Screamer for the radar detector installed. I may pull that off the bike.

There's power in the right fairing pocket for keeping a cell phone charged.

I'm sure I may have missed a few things but that's most of it. Pix to follow.
