I'm not a rider so I would keep it in the crate. 7-8 years ago BJ sold a Model T still in the crate, went for a bunch of money

Such a great bike… Loved mine

It's an awesome ride, I have done everything possible to make is faster w/ the exception of a Turbo Had it reflashed again By Vcyclenutt just recentlty, really opened it up. The forks and spring were done immediately after purchase. I wanted a Monster but this thing was 5K OTD in 17.

That H2R is the non street version.
Has to be a blast to ride but my 14R still scares the crap out of me and it's less hp and more weight

I would do stand up wheelies at 90, the thing never stops building power. All I did was I added an M4 exhaust. It needed ECU programming for sure. I’ll get another one eventually

M4 as well -Wife couldn't understand why I was sawzalling a brand new bike muffler off .That stock exhaust was 14 lbs and had a godamn cat in it. SMH put Braided Brake Lines all around, what a difference Third gear on it is Magical at big REVS

 

[WildWilly]

wow that brings back memories. Mine was stollen a week before Christmas the first year and 6 months later the rangers found the frame in Cleveland national forest.

I'd love to have this, but I'd be out of a License or worse If I did.

Rush - Naked Motorcycle - MV Agusta

MV Agusta Rush is a premium naked bike you have been looking for. It's beastly power and its irreverent appeal, make it completely irresistible.

Haha I used a Chop saw and threw the Cat in the trash. It really needed better suspension, I’ll eventually buy another FZ-09.

 

[Bigbore500r]

I used to drool over this bike as a 11 year old........had a magazine pic of it on my wall.
Thats awesome!

 

[spectra3279]

I still want one of the first gsxr 1100's.

 

[rivrrts429]

Owner bought two and probably killed himself on the one he did open leaving behind the unopened lol

Crazy ass bike back in the day.

 

[endobear]

Had a buddy in highschool with that exact machine. So sick. Surprised he didnt killed himself.

 

[rrrr]

The Ninja! Those were the days.

And this one is a K model, built for homologation in AMA Superbike competition. That's rare.

 

[Vib]

I had the all black one, beautiful bike for the Colorado canyons

Your guess was on the nose! The bid jumped from $25K to $40K in one shot, and the reserve was met. That guy obviously wants the bike.

The bidder actually put down a larger amount than $40K. The auction is structured so a bid above the reserve is displayed as the reserve amount. When higher bids are made, his bid will automatically exceed them up to the actual dollar amount he bid. Looks like it's gonna be a war for the win.

Great bike at the time but I still preferred the gsxr 750. I had an 89,91,and an 01.

My 89 saw some track time at willow. Was fun bike but my 01 was favorite. Love to get another one someday but imo the 750 was the perfect size and in a class by itself often kicking bigger bikes asses.

 

[TPC]

Wife owned a 14R and would love to own this.
Canyon running is in her blood.

Dang! Your wife rode a 14R?

I'll admit the 14 wouldn't be my first choice for canyon running but it does fine in the right hands .

I had a GSXR 750 94 My LINEMAN football Buddy had an 1100 GSXR-My 750 whipped it.Whipped it good.

When the 2000s came out they were lighter and they also had the 1000 gixxer it was a beast but only problem only a few could use that power to it’s advantage. The 750 was useable with some to spare. I tried to pass a guy coming out of corner he held me up all the time finally went on his inside after having enough on Angeles crest he shot by me on short straight away only to overshoot the next curve couldn’t slow it down. minutes before he was telling me I should have got the 1000 given the chance. Now put one of them few riders on it would have chewed me up.

Congratulations Steve!

 

[floatn turd]

Pshhh!
Street bikes are gay.

 

[185EZ]

Congratulations Steve!

Lol, thanks
BTW, your monthly rate just went up

 

[Paradox]

Wow. Pretty pricey.

I guess sometimes you have to have what you want to have..

Coincidentally, I’ve been looking for a decent reasonably priced used street bike to ride this summer and ended up winning the 2009 Buell 1125CR on the same site on the same day. 146 HP Rotax motor at 375 lbs total. Has enough miles on it to assume the known stator and clutch issues have been addressed. Seems like a good value. Picking it up tomorrow.

Thank you OP for sharing the auction page. Wouldn’t have seen it with out this thread.

No Reserve – 2009 Buell 1125CR – Iconic Motorbike Auctions

Santa Monica, California - "the 1125CR is packed with character, the heart of which is its fantastic motor, it's a huge step on for Buell when you compare it to the older Harley-engined models." - Visor Down.

As soon as I saw the thread title, I had visions of blue and green and those awesome air intakes...I remember they used to sell fake kits for other bike models just to have that look...I was never a Kawi fan, I rode GSXR's my whole riding life (stopped riding about 8 years ago now)...but I did always like this ZX-7 model.

I met my wife while out on a group ride 16 years ago...she showed up on her Yamaha R6 she had just bought and taught herself how to ride, we were going for a canyon ride out to Topanga Canyon and she was very nervous, I stayed in the back of the pack with her just having her follow my lead at a slow pace...2 weeks later we went on a ride together and I wadded up my GSXR on the 57 fwy right in front of Angel Stadium...spent the next few weeks recovering on the floor of her apartment and we have been together ever since...rebuilt that bike and rode it for a few years after...we still have her R6 in the garage

No thanks, my 610 Husky is to much of a ticket printer. That think would surely have me jailed.

My Daughter’s Husky FC 250 is kind of crazy. I don’t doubt the 610 could be trouble.

 

[Lavey5150]

Horry Fok, they definitely wanted that sumbitch.Di$po$able Income has no ceiling.

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Wow!
Cool bike and history.

 

[Roosky01]

If anybody finds one of these still in the crate or absolutely showroom mint shape, I will mortgage the farm to buy it. My first and only road bike. Oh, to be 17 again.
