    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

    • 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.

This is a great all around bike and unfortunately I'm going to have to take a hit on it. I doubt you will find a nicer R6 anywhere at this price.

The bike is located in the CA bay area(east bay).

I'm asking $8400obo. PM me for any questions or for more pictures -Chris

I'm rather surprised about no bites yet... I had a ton of potential buyers in the winter while the rain coming down..

I just decided to wait it out and keep her for at least this summer, so here it is up again.

You changed the gearing by four teeth?
did you recalibrate the speedo?

Check craiglist for a competitive price. Your are high.

Very nice bike

Very nice bike, tasteful mods, really clean but you are about 15-20% over the high-end retail. At auction, that bike would bring $6300-6500 in the spring. You should be able to clear $7400 or so in a direct sale.

Good luck, I'm a buyer @ $6500!

As a potential buyer, I appreciate your opinion on the price. My asking price is $8400obo. Knowing that the seller rarely get's his asking price, I am well aware of what I am willing to take.

Sorry, but there is just no possible way to take $6500 for the bike. especially two days after it's been for sale. Just never going to happen. I guess the offer can stand as a starting point, and move on from there. If the labor cost, dyno tuing, and service was factored in with the bike's extras, I would've spent close to $6500 just right there at a typical dealer. That being said, I know I'm not going to get back even close to what's been put into the bike.

There are bone stock 06 and 07 R6's selling on craigslist everyday with higher mileage than my bike. Just being honest on my end, as a seller, and what I think is a fair selling price is well over $6500.

On a second note to back my statement, I've turned down offers for 7600 and 7500 late last year in the middle of Winter at that time it didn't have the Scott's damper either. This should give you a better idea of a more reasonable price for this bike. -Chris

Yes, since day one(or day two).... and No. I've never had a speedo healer or had the gauge re-calibrated.. The actual mileage of the bike is somewhere around 4k or slightly over. It's on it's 3 oil chance with synthetic oil and runs flawlessly.

This is what my asking price AND selling price will be based on.

I just looked again. There is one, yes just ONE 2006 R6 with 3 to 4 times the mileage a few mods on it for less than my bike. There are 3 or 4 other r6's on there, once again, with higher miles and have either zero or close to NO mods on them. Those bikes are ranging from 6500 up to 7600. I did not look at any 07's for comparison. It looks like there are alot more of them, and I dont have much time right now.

I won't boast about this bike being the greatest thing since sliced bread, because we all know it's not... but the obvious fact is that this R6 is far superior to just about all the others(if not All of them in the area) for sale now that we have to compare it to... I am not about to take any low ball offers less than a week into the sale, just out of desperation.. I will sell the bike for what's FAIR. it's as simple as that.

I appreciate the interest.

Butch, SCL, everyone else,

Please provide your pricing feedbacks through PMs to the seller (as per claissified section rules.) A seller can ask his/her asking price, and if you don't agree with it, simply move on to another ad.

thanks.

thanks for stating that out of simple respect.

It actually did not bother me one bit. In fact, their comments probably helped prove me prove my point.

In defense of those who made comments on the price, the OP did say he was "gauging interest", which implied that he was looking for comments and not just offers.
