Pro setup track/race bike for sale

[Roadstergal]

Keep that purty FZ6 for the street, and take something made for track out on the track!

Megacycle full race cams
Keihn CR special carbs
Yoshimura headers, Kerker titanium mid pipe and can.

Three hours on a valve adjust, zero hours on oil change

The frame is a 92.

520 chain

Me and my friend bought a 94 GS500 track bike too.

Do you have plans for a new bike?

Yes - my plans to race the big tracks anytime soon have fallen victim to the economy, so I need to downsize, and that means consolidating my street and track bike into one. So, FZ and GS replacement - one that splits the difference between street and track and doesn't do either as well as the two:

It had been sitting out in a yard and needed a lot of work. I've never had to vacuum dead bugs and leaves out of a motorcycle before. Now that it has all of the rusty bits replaced and the grotty bits cleaned, it's a lot nicer.

It's heavier and not as flickable as that GS, though, and the suspension can't touch the one on the GS. The GS is one sweet bike that teaches corner speed like nothing else but a 250 two-stroke will - and it's a lot less maintenance than a two-stroke.

I'll work with an interested buyer on the GS; I want it to go to a good home that will take it out and have fun.

Gotta love an SV for street and track.

Junky bump for the GS, fun bike here folks!

Price drop. This is now, officially, a steal.

wasnt this on Barf for $2000?

It woulda been mine, but i just got a DUI and paid 2k for a lawyer, 800 for tow and 500 for bail... so life sux

 

[CrazyBiker]

WTH .. how you got a DUI??

 

[Roadstergal]

It's on both fora for $2000.

 

[Roadstergal]

Now $2000.

You could do $2000 worth of damage to your nice FZ6 at the track - or take this thing out an have a blast without worrying about anything you might do it it.

 

[CrazyBiker]

If this was local, you would have had my money by now.

Sweet,

How much more work will you need to put into it before it's ready.

 

[notjohndavid]

I want this

My first bike was a GS500. LOVED IT. I'm sad that I got rid of it but it had to go since i moved and it oculdn't move with me.

This... wow this is an awesome bike. Know of any good/cheap shipping companies? (good/cheap/quick... pick 2) I'm not in a hurry to get it but I'm getting excited over this bike.

Nothing. No work needed. Add gas, twist throttle, go.

Know of any good/cheap shipping companies? (good/cheap/quick... pick 2) I'm not in a hurry to get it but I'm getting excited over this bike.

Check out the Google - I found a number of companies. The cheapest option is shipping depot-to-depot; house-to-house is a bit more.
