im helping out my friend. he just crashed his 2002 red/blakc/white R1 with about 7500 miles on it. just happend last night 5/2/04.the bike has a clean title and he has the pink slip on hand. he lost control doing a wheelie thats how the bike got messed up. the brake lever is bent, the rear brake lever is bent also. brake fluid reserve hose is busted. as far as i know the frame,forks,subframe are all straight.motor runs strong. its mostly cosmetic damage. there is a oil leak on the right side of the bike cause thats where the bike fell. might be the cover is cracked. bike still starts and runs. well if you have any questions just let me know or email me at slowh22eghatch@yahoo.com or reply here. the ohlins steering damper and the pipe does not come with the sale of the bike.it comes with a stock pipe. here is a link to some pictures of the bike.
right now hes taking best reasonable offer.

at least he didnt get hurt that much. he has a broken colar bone and a bruised left forearm.

glad to hear he's okay. cant see the pics though...

 

yeh those pictures don't work....broken colar bone hurts like a bitch, i broke mine this winter.....most pain i have ever been in, anyway , update that link so we can see how much damage is done, wouldn't it be cheaper for him to get it covered under insurance? hes gonna lose ALOT of money on sellng a wrecked bike..

 

Doing a wheelie? R1's aren't the greatest for wheelies... Not really a balance point...

 

but they got torque to bring it up really easy....so clutching it up and it would loop preatty easy i imagine.

If I had an r1 I would keep it around 7-8oclock and only use throttle. I don't really think holding a wheelie at balance point is that great anyway, plus the R1's have the oil pump in a bad place and they get starved pretty quick.

heres the link.

 

he only has liability insurance.

 

looks like he could get good money for it seeing that most/all of the damage is cosmetic

How would you know??? You cant even hold a wheelie at balance point. Baby wheelies are gay

hahah you tell em

 

ya most of the damage is cosmetic. bike still start and runs. just out of curiousity.
how much do you think he can get for the whole bike as-is. no steering damper though. thanks

 

imo, i would say at least 4.5-5.5, if not more.

that much for a wrecked r1??

 

whoops, forgot about the pipe and damper. but all the damage is cosmetic.

 

ya it doesnt come with the damper. damper is going to my R1(ahhaah). but i think hell leave the pipe there.

 

he was thinking around $4000 or so. i dont know if thats alot or not. thanks

 

so you made him wreck his bike just so you could get a free damper?!? but for real, $4000 sounds fair imo

 

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

 

that was the master plan. jk. im buying it off him for a cheap price and im helping him sell his bike. thats it for him. no more bike. i guess traumatized.

 

I guess it's sold.... you guys suck, that should have been mine!

 

nvrmnd. one helluva deal!

i think all mota is talking about the bike. my friend sold it last night about 20 min after all mota responded.

anyways. bj, what bike do u have now. i heard from jack ur other bike crashed. anyways i got your number or call me up at 818-355-5415 if you want to go riding. im down. laters.

thanks guys.

 

I ride a '03 954 to mess around and I just got a '03 600RR for canyon/track days. Aries called me the other day looking to see if I can get him a good deal on a helmet, but he never mentioned that you got a bike too. That's why I wasn't sure which Gilbert you were. Who else from FT ended up buying a bike? For sure I'll call you to go ride. Lates!

BTW: I'm still bitter about the R1 Damn... 20 fockin minutes too late!

 

mark got a 01 F4I. my other friend vita has a gsxr 600. my other friend just sold his R1 cause of the accident. hes done. no more bikes for him. my other friend is selling his gixxer. kinda got scared of what happend to my friend. i just got a 02 R1 about 2 weeks ago. ya hit me up and well go ride. he wanted to get al least 4000 or so for the R1 but he was just so pissed that he sold the bike to the first buyer with cash. i think he was even willing to take 3gs for it thats how pissed he was. aight man. hit me up. laters
