**updated price, no longer $5000, now $4500 FIRM**
(see last post for price change explanation)
Up for sale is my 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6s Raven (gloss on flat black), 100% stock and never modified.
This is my first motorcycle. I bought it brand new from Bert’s motorsports in April of 2008. I took it back to Bert’s for all the scheduled break-in maintenance, paperwork is included.
This bike has never been downed, dropped, beaten, wheelied or ANYTHING negative. I managed to put a very tame 5426 miles on it. It’s a blast to ride with a very enjoyable and manageable power level down low and a lot of pep up top. Like I said, this was the very first street bike that I owned, and I never once felt like I was on a bike that was too unmanageable for my skill level.
As of now it’s still sitting in my storage shed, which leads to the reason I’m selling. I started a new job this year that I will be at for a very long time, and in the past several months I’ve come to the realization that I just won’t have time to ride any more. I’ll be in NYC all next week, Mississauga a couple weeks after that, etc. I simply can’t go riding and it’s just taking up space.
Since it is still in storage, I haven’t snapped any “new” photos of it, except for the current mileage and a few from last summer. As it stands the only thing it needs is to be de-winterized and a new set of tires, which will be purchased and installed, probably only if I get anyone that’s actually interested in buying it. If not, it will just stay in storage in it’s current state. There are no miles being put on it, and it’s safe where it is.
I know the market is all wonky, but I’m going to set a starting price at $6700. It’s not overly firm, but I’m also not overly stressed about selling asap. I’ll need a day or two notice before anyone can come look at it so I can get it out and viewable.
SOOO, cliffs:
2008 R6s Raven, 5426 miles, 100% stock, never downed, will need nothing, no time to ride, located just outside of Orchard Park.

Bump. Changed the price from $6700 to $6300, just because I can.

Good deal right here…
To anyone weary of buying a used sport bike, this guy is 100% honest with how he rides this thing. BABIED.

It’s going to have the new tires and inspection some time over the next few weeks, whenever I find the time to do it.

Nothing has changed, still sitting, still no time to ride. I haven’t even put the new registration sticker on the license plate lol.
This thing needs a good home

Last bump til this winter, I’m sure it won’t sell until next spring anyway.
Oh well, it still hasn’t moved all year, and probably won’t. I’ve started it a couple times and that’s it.

alright. i’d like to move this, $5300 before the end of the month. After that it’s going away for the winter and won’t be available for sale until march or so, unless someone shows up with a check.

most of the time, i don’t have the time. When I do have the time…well i don’t really have the urge. As sad as it sounds, kinda had a switch flip and i don’t really feel comfortable on a bike any more.
But that’s neither here nor there, so it will be for sale until it sells.

No I don’t have any other pics, it’s still in storage and hasn’t been touched since this post was made, so nothing has changed. If you’re serious I will pull it out of storage and get it cleaned up and ready to go for you. Just keep in mind it’s a 2008 with just over 5k miles on it, never dropped or abused, and hasn’t been taken out in over a year and a half…it’s basically a brand new bike.

how many pics do you need? how do you summon up 5 grand in a week? You would think someone would have like 3500 on the side and maybe their check will bring them around there. Are you a drug dealer?
