good:tup:

Where did you take the course? I took it in the fall in Angola.

Honestly though, 07 rr with 2400 miles. have you researched something a bit older to get your feet wet on? To me it just seems a bit silly to learn on such a new, expensive bike. I mean hell… the 03-05 rr’s are significantly cheaper and still have great body lines. IDK… just some food for thought.

Hell… ride an f3 for a year and sell it for just as much as you bought it for…

Mods value = +$250  
Mods indicating the bike was ridden hard = -$250

Net = $0

I took the course in Boston, Ma. I did look at other bikes but the $1K +/- wasn’t worth it to me. The CBR got lighter in 07, so I decided that the few extra bux was worth it. Plus, I’ll keep it longer than if I got an older bike.

I know Sam’s 03 sold for $5K… I can get one that is 4 years newer, lighter and only 2400 miles for ~$2k more(from a dealer).

Word. It’s definitely a fantastic bike and I plan on researching something similar in the next few months… but I guess my point is that it’s one hell of a first bike… IMHO

I was about to post the same thing.

Like cars, small mods like this don’t really add value to the bike. Consider it a stock bike.

Doesn’t mean it’s difficult. A lot of bikes require drilling.

well done.

leo vince could be 300-2500 retail. most likely a slip on… 07 600rr in mint condition with those mods, id pay no more than 6500 for… dont get me wrong on a good day he might be able to get more, but 6500 would be a decent deal.

mileage? power commander? who owned it… the fact that it has rearsets makes me think it was raced or dropped… what are they asking for it?

2400 miles, no mention of power commander. Not sure on previous owner. They are asking $7500.

sounds like a good deal to me. my bike was 4yrs older with 10k on the clock, and i sold it (with stands, spare parts, and some accessories) for 5k. you will love this bike…
