RE: looking at a 1998

*


Rob,
Dec 2005*I bought a 1999 to replace my '96.** I bought it stock, with 10K miles on it.
I got a deal, but I got it for $4,000.* I wouldn't say it's vibey on idle..*
Now at $35K the rear shock is pretty much toast...
*
Not a bad deal if the bike is very clean...$4K would be a better deal.

Test rode a 1998 today.* Belongs to a guy I have done track days
with.* Rode it for about 20 miles...

33k miles,* very clean, well cared for* as far as oil changes,
suspension, paint, etc.***Forks upgraded with springs and emulators.
Rear shock stock but felt good.


He is hoping for $4500 and I was hoping to pay $4000.* * Still trying
to work out a deal.

What is the WOTL?

The forks on a 98 doesn't need cartridge emulators, they're already cartridge forks from the factory. At 33K miles, the stock will need to be rebuilt, or replaced.

I know what YOU meant. It's bizarre the way people still talk about
"emulators", a Race-Tech specific reference to a product that was only
ever applicable to pre-1990 Hondas (okay, and dino-bikes like the
SV650...)

Guess that was inaccurate speech on my part. Ohlins valving and Race
Tech springs is what I should have said. Both ends felt very good
on the test ride.

I think it needs a TB sync, but other than that, seems VERY good.
VERY clean. :-)
