just picked up another bike

i just picked up another bike for 150 bucks its a 2002 R1

it needs a new master cyclander and the front gauges and front farings and a battery

 

I'll give you $200 for it!

Paraphrasing Gus and Woodrow in Lonesome Dove...... My God Woodrow. Liter bikes are sure cheap around here!

Nice find!

 

how in the world? isnt that 1000 cc? does the motor run? omg? who'd you steal that from and lemme see some pics

 

Easy Schooter! She's a big bike and a feisty one at that! You should steer clear for a little while. We want you to graduate from high school and the odds would be against you big time with an R1. Yeeee Haaaaah. It would be fun to have but man that's a lot of power to have to control.


I personally would be the laughing stock of the crotch rocket world. "In a related story a crotch rocket rider was seen repeatedly driving his bike with both wheels on the ground and strangely enough he was going the speed limit" Get the picture?

Hey, Schooter, ain't it a school night? You should be in bed. :lol:

 

hey now the R6 is a nice bike. isnt it one of a few bikes you can spin on one finger? its kinda like a strapping a jet engine to my kids go-cart

I have ridden one and they are fun.

 

Ah yes. but the R6 is a little baby 600 the R1 is a full liter monster!

 

That's a real good deal. You should post some pictures.
Luckily for you, parts are plentiful for them. Depending on the damage, instead of restoring it, you could look into street fightering it...a la:

 

Just one question.... HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS SUCH A STEAL?

 

well it was a steal at first the bike was stolen and it was recovered and my next door neighbor wanted me to restore the bike and he could not afford the bill so i talked him in to giving the bike to me it has to get a salvage title tho

its a big big big bike tho im just barley getting used to the R6

 

Well, if its too much bike, I'd be willing to take it off your hands! :wink:

 

As I reread your post it occured to me that what YOU should do for Me is find me a mid to late '80's BMW k100 RS or RT with around 30,000 miles or so on it. I'd be willing to pay up to $250 for one in good mechanical shape! I think you're going to hear a lot from folks who are envious of your awesome buy. Poor Schooter probably hasn't been able to catch his breath since he first read your post!


Congratulations again on your great buy!
