Do you know anymore history on the cbr? Such as if it's been wrecked before, title status, last clutch/sprockets/chain/tranny/oil change?

Something that stands out immediatly from the pictures is the rusty chain. Makes me wonder if he kept the maintenance up on it?

was told it is well maintained...will probe further...thanks!

good eye!..i will delve into that...thanks!

something tells me your bike is worth much more. how much you pay for yours?

i paid 6,000 for mine..i haven't looked it up yet but he claims they have similar retail value...here is a blurb from his email about whats been done to the bike:

Cammed it up means sort of like in old sports cars when you you hear them barely running at an idle rumbling its a motor upgrade, on crotch rockets when you add aftermarket exhaust and larger cams and k&n filters and different stuff like that its hard on the gears in the cam at really high rpms and speeds, the gears look just like sprockets just obviously smaller, all the gears fit together teeth the teeth like sprockets together and in a normal bike they are kinda snug so you dont here any engine noise, along with the larger cam the gears are also loosened so at under about 3-4000 rpms which is pretty much an idle for my bike you can here the cam and then when you get up to performance speeds and rpms the gears tighten up and on a normaly cam and normal adjustment they get to tight and wear out fast or break but on the loosened gears on a larger cam at those high speeds the performance and wear and tear is very low because they tightened up just enough not to tight - I have never had it at top speed but I know the guy I got it from after the aftermarkets has had it to 170 not sure if it will do more than that or not but thats what he has had it to which I think it nuts lol, I never really good around past 90-100 and it gets there literally in the blink of an eye kinda freaky fast,

from what im reading is he has put on different cam gears, not camshafts.

But even with cams, cam gears, K&N, and exhaust, that bike will not do a true 170. No freakn way. the only way is if it was geared to the moon. Meaning a 16 tooth front sprocket, and a 40 tooth rear. It might indicate near 170 but truthfully a stock 95 F3 (has no ram air) might get a true 150, maybe!!!

I personally would look else where! My reason would be not knowing EXACTLY what went on in that motor!!! Id rather have a bone stock used bike that one that potentially had its head off!!! just me though!

Have you riden it yet??? Heard it run??? Do that first then tell us how it runs and this and that!!

1998 CBR F3

I'd feel the CBR is worth around 2300 to 2600.....if it hasn't been dropped and has a proven maintenance history. The mileage is what makes the value go down on it. Your bike on the other hand is nearly new and has low mileage. From the research I did, your bike is worth about 4K to 4500, depending on it's condition.

I haven't see the bike in person, but I'd bet it would be safe to say a good trade would be the bike and at least 1K. Make damn sure your not getting the shaft on this one. Go over that bike with a fine tooth comb.

Good luck with it bro,

Joe

Yea, I would take PitBull's advice. You're potentially setting yourself up for a bike that's going to be a headache to you and your wallet. Don't rush into any deals. Take your time and look around if you're really wanting to get a sportbike.
