Starwriter Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Neither of them are a smokin' deal. The black one looks like the frame is bent. I would keep looking for a better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_smith97 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 The blue one looks like the kid has been burning out on pavement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Welcome aboard! Where are you located? Patience is key to say the least. I would personally pass on both as they're overpriced and have obvious abuse. The black one has hit something with the front left tire, or the tie-rod end is about to back itself off completely. Could have frame damage as stated above. Blue is bone stock not taking care of and someone's dicked with the routing of the wiring which would implicate some sort of issue at some point and not properly reassembled. Tires have obvious burn outs on them. You can find cleaner for cheaper! Dont rush into it or you're going to be out $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Out of curiousity, I looked around Craigslist in your area. Man, you're right. A lot of raggedy POS bikes. I did find this. Kind of a long road trip, but if you could get him down to $3,000 you would have a pretty sweet bike with potential. Before driving that far, I would ask a LOT of questions. What is the compression? Was a leakdown test done when the motor was built? What is the squish clearance? (If he knows that I would be impressed) Does it have a billet clutch basket? What kind of reeds? (Hopefully VForce) What kind of crank is in it? Was it trued and welded? Were there any mods done to the transmission? Does he have a title for it? http://semo.craigslist.org/sno/4443170896.html Edited April 28, 2014 by Starwriter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I looked as well, rough market in your neighborhood bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee SE Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Are you sure the blue one is a 06 bike? 06 bikes with blue plastics came with blue a arms from factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunatrixx Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 well i took you guys advice, an ran across this 06, for 2,400. picking her up tomorrow(: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hell yeah!!!!!! That's a deal. From what I can see, there's Pro Circuit pipes, aftermarket A arms, Works reservoir front shocks, front braided stainless brake lines, extended roundhouse swingarm, G Force or Durablue rear axle, as well as aftermarket wheels, tires, front bumper, and grab bar. Can't tell much more than that with the crappy pics. Looks like it might have a boost bottle. Get rid of it if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
