Reasonable offers welcome. NADA value of $7,620 but it looks just as flashy as the $20,000 bikes out there.

If you like attention this is the special edition bike for you. It runs amazing and is everything you would expect from a hand-built Italian superbike. This is going to be a very tough sale for me to make but this gorgeous beauty must go so I can start track racing on something less pretty.

Aftermarket parts include rear sets, open CF clutch basket, black windshield, custom painted wheels. Termi half system exhaust with performance muffler, air filters, and cat eliminator pipe can be purchased separately and/or I can install it.

Whaat? I read the CL post and you can get bodywork for $400 shipped. Keep the bike and track it! After doing a lot of research Duc parts aren't a whole lot more expensive just a lot fewer items avail. at one time so it seems to turn you to new products which do get pricey, but not really more than what the I-4s gonna cost for the same item. Service though... umm.... yeah thats a whole different game... if you own wal-mart stock you should sell some off to afford the upkeep :)
GL with the sale!

Call me cheap but I am going for a $3k bike. I know I'm gonna lay her down a time or two and would rather do it to a bike I dont care about for now. Plus, the $3-4k left over from the Duc sale will help soften the blow of start-up purchases like suit, trailer, stands, tire warmers, etc. You know the drill.

Holy crap, tebok's racing next season! Welcome aboard, man!

I like your approach. I did the same thing this season -- bought an inexpensive bike because from prior racing experience (non-bike), I know that I learn best by crashing. First crash taught me the limits of the rear tire, second crash of the front, and the third of the nut in the middle...

I didn't skimp on leathers for the very same reason. My RS Taichis have proven to be bulletproof.

Only problem is that I kind of fell in love with that inexpensive bike. Trying to convince myself I need something newer, but may ultimately just pick up a backup and race the '03 ZX-6 again.
