• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    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.

Newly painted YSR50 appraisal wanted !!!

it is a 1992 YSR50, street legal, fully registered, has a licence plate. engine has a 20mm carb which has been jetted to accomodate to engine, a TCR preformance exaust is on the bike, as well as aluminum rims with TT91 tyres that have 70% of the tread left. its got frame sliders and new bar ends as well as a new windsheild. the paint job is compleatly new and damn near flawless, check out pics at:

http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61594

i'm just wonder how much ya all think i could sell the bike for, how much its worth etc etc. i want to upgrade to an 80cc adventually, so i'm looking to see how much my bike is worth, so i could sell it and buy an 80cc with a bit more cash.

i baught the bike for $1200, and the plastics were shotty as hell, paint was trashed, it needed new tyres, and it had race wiring only (ie, no generator, no battery, no headlight, signals, brake light, speedo etc). so i figure now its gotta be worth around $1500 to $1800, maybe more?

for those too lazy to click on the link, heres a pic of it before i added the windsheild and bar ends.

It's gotta only be worth a few hundred bucks bro...

lemme just take it off your hands :teeth

Honestly though, I'd say 1500 plus however much the skateboard costs so you have some spare sliders :teeth :twofinger

Nice fiddy man.

I would say after all the time you put into it, your bike is priced around $2,100 more or less due to the homemade paint job. Unless you try ebay which will probably bump you up to $2,400-$2,600. :teeth

i do have a lot of work in it

question is how much is all the work work i guess. i allready have $1650 in the bike

Bike 1200
Tax+registration 85
kickstand 5
20/50 Castrol oil (2/04, 3/04) 5
fuel filter (2/04) 2
horn 5
speedo 5
brake light 5
ignition 70
front brake light sensor 15
battery 10
neutral light 5
fuses 5
green+purple paint 135
magnet oil drain plug 5
frame sliders 20
black bar ends 15
clear windscreen 40
seat & underseat support 25


Grand Total: 1657


this doesnt include the tyres that i got on the bike for extra cheap. and doesnt include the countless hours i spent painting the bike, chaing the oil, spark plugs, brake fluid, and doesnt include the fact that i installed a lighting and charging coil into the bike... It should be noted the bike is allready race wired.

If i could get a good $1800 (which i think is a fair price), i'd sell it and get a YSR80.... any buyers!? :)

You would be disappointed with the YSR80 engine.


Keep the bike and do this:

Get it ported and polished
Get the Head milled for more compression
get the engine bored to 44 = 60cc engine

Rejet and enjoy.

First of, I want a 50 really badly... and yours is cool.

HOWEVER

Rebuilding anything, be it a car, motorcycle, or fiddy, is not exactly a for-profit endeavor. If you get what you put into it, you did a good job selling.

Just IMO though.

Yeah supply and demand determines price.. I wish it weren't the case- see Ebay. Look at how much new NSRs cost! Not cheap at $3500 with no street parts. Honda bean counters wouldn't realease a bike like that in the US unless they knew there was a market place.

Superhawk gave him a good deal during a time when they were not in demand (end of season) :thumbup

I'm selling mine cheap relative to the market and got a few buyers already lined up. IMHO

I got another agenda... I want to sell it cheap to fill the grids :cool

I'm building another one.. I may sell cheap, so I can race an XR100. Only time will tell.
