ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?

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.
- 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]

- 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.
- motorcycle or other vehicle:
- 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.

- No reposting
- No reposting
- No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

Sexiest Ex-Mod around!™
Copy/pasting is real easy. 
1996 Honda CBR F3 - $1700 obo
35k miles
This was my first bike and it served its purpose well for accommodating a new rider. It is not pretty but runs like a champ. Valves were checked about 5k miles ago and were in spec. The damage to the bike was caused in a low speed accident 2-3 months after purchasing the bike. In the past year it has only gotten about 500 miles put on it so it has to go.
Good
Great first bike
Runs great
Starts every time
New battery last year
New reg rectifier last year
New front brake pads/caliper rebuild
Brand new rear tire (Front tire has about 1-2k miles left on it)
Comfortable, very easy to ride and toss around.
Extra rims and some tires with mileage left on em (the front rim has a dent - needs to be straightened)
Clean Title and pink in hand
Bad
Broken/scratched and missing fairings
Suspension could use some freshening up soon
I have a bunch of misc stuff laying around for it too like a cover, extra seat, wheel lock, oil filter, etc.

Bring Up My Post.
Just to clarify a couple things.
The front fender was damaged here in my driveway and not from the get off I had with the bike.
The front rim which was bent was damaged from a pot hole and not from the get off.
The bike runs perfectly fine and its just has cosmetic issues.
The damage on the right side is from dropping it in the driveway.
If anyone knows a new rider who is just getting into riding this is a great motorcycle for the job. It is very comfortable, seating position is high over the bars, and is easily flickable. This would also make a great commute bike because it is so comfortable to ride.
I also added new chain and sprockets when I got the valves checked about 5k miles ago. The carbs were also cleaned at this time, spark plugs, etc. A tune-up.

Howdy.
Was just browsing between classes--er, lurking, I guess. Never saw too much of a need to sign up here before taking my MSF (Summertime), but this post really caught my attention.
I'm looking for a first bike, and you said that this was yours. I'm glad you got to experience such a great bike as your first, but does the 600F3 lean more towards a SS experience or a more casual type? I've been out and about on other forums (mostly SBN) and had a lot of questions answered and picked up some great information, so I hope this sounds at least somewhat informed.
Other than that, I really like the price point. Were you ever quoted/looked into how much the replacement fairings would cost?
I think sums up my initial kneejerk questions about the bike.
Looks great; very interested.
Cheers.

If this is your first bike, don't worry about getting new plastics because you're going to drop it in the drive way, on side streets, at a stop sign, at a stop light while you're getting use to the friction zone, etc. Guiseppe has a good reputation and if you're interested in the bike at this price point, I'd recommend snatching it up before someone else does.
Giuseppe
Thats how you stick it!
The F3 is the ultimate beginners bike in my opinion, and I spent about 2 months researching and exhausting the ideas of other bikes before I purchased it. I am very happy that I chose the F3 as my first bike and would do it again in a heart beat. It has more power than the 250-500cc's but not enough to frighten you. I would call its power range - tame. The bike is very easy to turn in and flick around just like the smaller bikes but with a little more umph.
The great thing about this price point is that it will allow a new rider to do things correctly and purchase full leathers, boots, helmet, gloves and be ready to ride for 3k or less.
Personally, if you are a new rider I would not bother spending the money to replace the fairings but you can replace them if you wish via ebay or perhaps fremont cycle salvage (they are having a huge moving sale and may have the fairings). I did see on ebay the left engine cover fairing for about $40 a few weeks ago for an example. You could even go as far as purchasing a full fairing kit from china (the fit will not be perfect) for under $500 shipped.
I would recommend saving the money on replacing the fairings and getting in a trackday or two or purchasing better quality gear.

+1 on high risk of damaging the bike, and thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the quick reply. No wait, replies.
I only ask about its feel because I enjoy living. After almost 21 years of it, I've gotten pretty fond it, and would like to continue doing so for many more. It didn't take much reading to realize how retarded (and suicidal, actually) some people can be on bikes, and it makes no sense whatsoever. Saw a guy in the trademarked t-shirt, shorts, flipflops, and helmet on a GSXR a few days ago. What was he thinking? Probably nothing, I'd imagine. It's because of intelligent veterans, like yourselves, that new riders, like me, have a chance to safely get into such an awesome sport. I'm incredibly excited to take my MSF this Summer (probably in Sacramento or Marysville).
Anyway, about the bike. Your price is right in my range. I've got my eyes on about $1k's worth of quality gear, and that leaves a few hundred to fix whatever minor things may pop up on the bike I purchase.
How's the insurance been on the bike? Were you ever quoted, or know how much a suspension "freshening" (as the OP put it) would run at the average shop? I'm nowhere near a Honda motorcycle dealership or shop; ironically have all the others within 50 miles, though.
Also, how are the ergonomics--race-like or more relaxed? I'm 5'7", and have been able to flat-foot most of the bikes I've sat on, but just curious.
I think that covers my major questions. Still very interested. I would have cash and pick it up in a trailer, most likely.

I pay currently $242 per year full coverage on this bike with State Farm.
I am 5'6 and can flat foot it. The ergonomics are very relaxed, the clip-ons are high and the seat is very comfortable. I have a 07 gixxer you can sit on to compare the two riding positions and you can feel the difference for yourself if you like.
The suspension may not even need freshining up but I would recommend it. I do not think the suspension has ever had the oil changed throughout its life. The previous owner provided all the maintenence paperwork when I purchased the bike (I have all that plus the manuals) and nothing indicated suspension servicing. Some people never replace the fork oil, its up to the new owner. This could be $150-300 at a shop.
