    • 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]

        - title info
        - current condition

      • If selling riding gear, include:

        - 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.

    • 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.

Interested why you are selling the bike. I was looking at getting this model sometime next year. Not quite ready for all that power right now

Good question. Ergonomically, it is a bit on the big side for me.

I feel bad selling it, because I know it is one of the best bikes on the planet. But, I'm very particular when it comes to my physical position on the bike ... Like Goldilocks, I thought the Tuono was going to be "just right," but I'm not completely comfortable on it, and will keep demo'ing other bikes to figure out what is next.

Have you sat one one yet?

I went up two teeth on the rear sprocket, which has tamed the power delivery of the bike a lot.

Excellent point, I should have been more specific. :rolleyes.

I like the power down low + in mid-range, and don't need a lot of top-end rocket speed. I ride a lot of rural, steep twisty roads and rarely go over 120 mph.

With the 42 teeth sprocket, I didn't have as much grunt, pull and control as I like at lower speeds, and I rarely used gears 5-6. The bike's RPMs wanted to be spinning at higher speeds than I wanted to be travelling :)

With 44 teeth, in the twisties, I have much better pull in gears 1-3, and the top end, 4-6, are more "tame" .... the bike doesn't instantly want to go 140mph on the few straights of hwy 36 :). With 44 teeth, the bike is now completely happy in in 80-100 mph range in gears 5-6.

So, that's why I used that word tame - this wonderful, amazing bike wants to go waaaay faster than my current skill set. So the 44 teeth slowed her down and made her more usable for me (made her more tame :))

So, yes, more easy to wheelie, but it depends on how one is using the bike.
I'm not a wheelie person - yet:).

FYI - still have original 42 sprocket and chain. Chain just needs master link. Approx 3500 miles on original sprocket and chain.

One of the huge things you can do is add a bar riser and a touring wind screen, it made wonders on my Tuono, making it comfortable the way it should be.

Clip ons. Okay, you have my attention. I want bars to be a bit lower.

How would I go about doing that? You will need to explain this to me like I am around 10 years old .... just, walk me through it nice and easy :)

buy a set of rsv4 clip ons and mount them, its a common mod

another is the apex clip ons with 3 inch risers, this gives the 3 inch height adjustment to the oem handlebar but with clip on levers way closer to the forks

No doubt every ounce of love possible was given to this bike.
You should feel 100% confident it is all that you think it is.

Really, if the only thing you don't like are the ergos, there are multiple ways to change that, on every motorcycle. Unless you really want to sell it, might be worth some experimenting. You could even get something to sit on and ride around to approximate how much change would get you the lean you want. If it's not that big a change, you might just need different bars, to the tune of oh, $50-100.

Ergos not the only thing/lean on bike not the only thing...

Tail too narrow for easy on and off travel tail bag (bought bike specifically because dtirdes & I like to do 2-4 day overnighters - seat is comfy for that).
Bike is tall, I need a lowering link. I don't like the flashy graphics (should have waited for non-factory model, but I wanted the Ohlins....). Thought I could learn to live with "flash factor," but I did not. I learned that I seriously do not need a 170+hp motorcycle :rolleyes.

I "get it" that I can modify the bike to my liking (solve issues), but I am unable to ride for a while due to a broken wrist (broken radius/dislocated ulna.... 3 pins holding it together), so, figured I would take advantage of this "down time" and put her up for sale.

This bike is a Thoroughbred that needs to be in the hands of someone who appreciates her the way she is.

If there ends up being no interested buyer, I will indeed just keep and modify away! :ride
