• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      report.gif
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.
  • There has been a recent cluster of spammers accessing BARFer accounts and posting spam. To safeguard your account, please consider changing your password. It would be even better to take the additional step of enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your BARF account. Read more here.

-----SOLD-----

$2000 To a good home. This bike deserves to be ridden.

This is a 2002 Kawasaki Concours I purchased from the original owner last year. I have put maybe 500 miles on it since I bought it. I did not become attached to this bike as I had hoped. That did not stop me from making improvements and buying parts. The first thing I did was rebuild the clutch master cylinder and put new rubber on the rear. Installed an OEM back rest - had it and the original seat reupholstered. Has a new rifle windshield kit with extra tall windscreen. Replaced most of the fairing bolts with hex head.

The bike runs great. I did perform a bafflectomy which makes it a little louder and helps the exhaust flow better. It hasn't been ridden much. I found a Trumph Sprint ST that fits my style, so the Concours is for sale. Has a Ballistic battery. Original tool set and lock.

Minor cosmetic issues. Just paid for non-op.

Thank you. It is a nice bike. Hope to find a buyer here. Please spread the word if you know someone looking for a Connie.
 
Starting to warm up outside. Let's find this beautiful sporty touring bike a new home and back on the road where it belongs.
 
Shame people haven't picked her up yet. Really good/reliable long distance bikes. Know folks who have ridden them 100K+ K-miles. Still engine parts easy availability (fits zx, zzr, zrx, etc.)

I'm having trouble talking kids into a bike =skert, or I would have gotten it by now. So, just a friendly bump for ya....

=d
 
Great bike. My first bike after a five year break. Don't let her fool you, this is no old man's bike. She has plenty of get up and go, can ride across the country fully loaded with two people and gear and still get 45MPG, has a fantastic wind screen for exceptional wind and water protection. Plus she is easier to maintain than my newer Connie. Plus this one is obviously very well cared for and has 90% of her life yet to live. These will EASILY go past 200k.
 
I found another bike I would love to add to the stable. I'm feeling motivated to sell. What's it going to take? Any suggestions?

FWIW: No offence; but I'm sure you haven't many takers due to age/mileage. I think @ $2.5K is appropriate f/what it is. Are you advertising it anyplace else? If not, do so: (Craigslist/Nationwide lists/etc.) You should be able to get at least $2.5K IMHO.

I know you wanted more, but consider a comparable ZRX w/same miles is getting ~$2.5K-$3.3K+. The tipper I figure is the old ZRX11/12 has a much bigger draw than an old Connie, no?

Mainstream riders are not aware your bike runs the same engine w/some more desireable differences: Yours has the 6-speed tranny instead of 5, AND (IIRC) it's also got better midrange (ZZR) cams, & downdraft carbs (40's) & PLUS the ZZR head over the ZRX's sidedraft.

In a nutshell, the engine has much more potential than the ZRX, but I'm sure most are unaware of that =as most Connie riders leave their engines alone.
You'd be surprised how many ZRX's have Connie engines.:teeth In 03' I -almost- bought a ZZR1200, but didn't. For the above reasons. I wish you good luck my friend...
