• 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.

2014 EBR 1190SX FS or Trade

UPDATE: Bike has been damaged, may be salvaged, I may keep it, stay tuned.

If you clicked on this ad, you probably know a lot about this bike, and you may even want one. Not for the faint of heart: it really is a superbike with no fairing. Same tuning, motor, suspension, footpegs, gearing as the 1190RX: it just has a different headlamp and slightly higher bars. It's about 335 pounds and makes over 160 hp. This is a true superbike, with world-class suspension, brakes and chassis. A far better bike than I am a rider, which is why I'm selling. There are only about 500 of these in the world and it should be ridden by someone who needs that kind of performance. I'd be happier with less juice. Too much hat, not enough Texan!

Mine is white (I have the airbox cover and tail plastic in Galactic Black, which is a sort of a root beer color as well, so you get two sets of bodywork) and has about 2000 miles on it. I am the original owner: I bought it last October new from a southern California EBR dealer. I did the initial service and have replaced the rear tire with an Angel ST; front is the original Diablo Rosso.

The only mods besides bar-end mirrors are the Oberon master cylinder (makes the bike rideable!) and a bigger rear sprocket so you can use second gear below 40 mph. title is clean, maint is up to schedule and there are no recalls or other issues I'm aware of (but this is NOT a bike for a novice owner!!!).

I'd consider an interesting motorcycle trade (I'd like a sporty naked bike with less than 100 hp, under 440 pounds) with cash to fill in the valuation gap. I do not need laptops, cars, trucks, guns, motorhomes, harleys, ex-wives, cheese graters, small appliances, pitbulls, lawn mowers or machine tools. IM is a pretty good way to reach me.

Please post a follow up on the twisted wreck experience! I was secretly hoping this wouldn't sell so I could rent your 1190 for my birthday :(

Good luck with everything Gabe

Bummer. After reading the article to the bottom I realized that you wrote it lol.

"Full disclosure: when I found out about Twisted Road I added my own motorcycle (and have yet to rent it out), and I may benefit from a positive response to this story. So, unless you want to diminish my shining reputation for journalistic integrity, please, whatever you do, don’t rent the white 2014 EBR 1190SX located in the San Francisco Bay Area, priced at just $129 day with unlimited mileage. I wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night."

Update! Insurance is paying me, and I'm going to keep the bike as a salvage title. Happy ending. It is a unique and special bike. Maybe it won't have a catastrophic failure before I get sick of it.

Gabe, I used to rent my race van out on a ride share (forgot what they were called then but it's Turo.com now), same concept - get paid for other people using your car when it's otherwise parked while you're at work. People loved the van - I saw it at IKEA and Home Depot several times - but they also crashed it at an alarming rate. Turo finally kicked me out because they couldn't afford to keep fixing my van up just cause some yahoo didn't know how to navigate an extended van with no rear windows in SF - shocker! I've read about this bike rental but I would be very afraid to put a bike out there that I cared about after my van experience. Sorry your bike got messed up but glad insurance is going to make you whole - and you get to keep it!

Gabe, Did your insurance have any qualms about it being a commercial use when it was damaged, or was that not an issue that was discussed, (ahem)?
