Title: 2008 Non ABS 54,600 miles WA State SOLD
Post by: Son of Pappy on May 18, 2013, 08:07:45 PM
So, I'm not hot to sell, but I am in the market for a KTM350EXC and SWMBO says I can't add to the stable without selling something.

$7500 for her, is that a lot for a bike with 54,000 miles?  Maybe, but see the list below and see if you are getting a deal or not.

Corbin saddle (OEM included)
Baker Handwings (Best farkle on the bike)
Cee Baileys Eurocut (OEM included)
Shad 46 top box
AudiocomProV1 comm system
LSL risers and bars (OEM included)
Throttle Meister (missing the left side, stock end in its place)
Gerbings Dual controller
dual BMW style outlets
heated grips
Canyon Cage on the front
Hyper whites on the front (couple LEDs are burned out but still quite effective when in the modulate mode)
Real Time industries reflective panels on the bags
200 miles on a set of 55 profile Pirelli Angel STs (By far the best tire for our region, I live in Port Orchard)
Extended warranty till July 2014, if you are interested we can get another 3 years tacked on before sale for under $400.
She has been down once, I was in the arms of a mother who had just found out her son had died (my recruiting station had enlisted both her son and husband in the Army), I parked the bike in gear, on a hill facing the wrong way.  Zero speed drop, but there are a couple minor scratches.  I will get some good pics should you still be interested.

For the really good stuff,

ZX14 Throttle bodies (OEM included)
PCV
Auto tune module
Full AreaP Exhaust
EBC front rotors
She just dynoed 161.5 RWHP (

About me, I'm an instructor for Puget Sound Safety, twice a year we get to do a class at Pacific Raceways, this is the only time I flog her, and that is at lunch time when we get instructor free time.  So no long time redline riding and no squid like activity on the street.  She's had Lucas full synthetic her entire life, always changed by me.  I routinely get 42 MPG, and 46 2up.
My handle on the forum is Silverdammit!!!  I'm well known and I bet you could get a few who will vouch for me.

So, I know farkles don't add much of anything, but that is what she is worth to me and as I am not itching to sell?  As close to a one of a kind bike as you are likely to see and ready to ride.  I'm sure there is more, but that is the what gets my mind at the moment.  Clear title in hand.

Number is three six zero-two eight six-nine three three eight, my name is Chet.  Call if you have any questions or shoot me a return email with any questions you may have.

Chet
I'll do test rides, leave your Drivers License with me and $500 to cover deductible.

Ask away, flame away, or come to buy ;D  WHen she finally leaves I will be sad...

Pics will be in the media folder.  http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=33;nw;start=0 (http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=33;nw;start=0)

Much smoother everywhere, starting with the happy grip.  She's a stickler when it comes to the speed limit and I find myself in a cruising gear more often.

Price drop.  I found a used KTM450EXC that fits my needs.  This summer almost all of my miles will be on gravel and dirt.  I hate to see her sit.  There may be some wiggle room but that would mean I pull the Zumo.  HBO :)

I just looked on CL and didn't see your ad.  I'm assuming it's still for sale since you haven't marked it sold on here.  Reason I'm asking is a member on the other forum is looking for an 08 and I was going to link yours.....

No big rush, I just picked up my new to me KTM450EXC set for riding.  Even came with the 8" HID racing light ;D  I'll keep riding her until she sells, I just need to look at the speedo, 75 on the GS feels like 75.  75 on the Connie feels like 35 ;)

Whelp, the KLR and YZ be sold.  Rethinking this decision a bit.  If she sells that means my cabin foundation will get done this year and I can start raising the walls of the cabin...
If I leave the Zumo on AND stay at $6500 can I get at least a nibble?  Shoot me yer best price and we'll talk.  Wednesday I will have her out at the Ridge in Shelton for our Advanced Street Skills class (on my B-Day YEA) (http://advancedstreetskills.com/pssass-home (http://advancedstreetskills.com/pssass-home)) and if I still have her in August I will be doing the Maryhills Loop training that will have Lee Parks as our guest instructor as part of the Rally in the Gorge put on by Soundrider!  IOW, I will be adding some miles and fun ones at that.

Today is in all likelyhood the day she leaves the stable.  Gonna miss her for sure.  Hands down the best street bike I have ever owned.  Were it not for my ADV bug I would be keeping her but she deserves to be ridden. 

Once the sale goes through I will update the title.

Just got done washing her up, I even had a fleeting thought that this must be what Jay goes through on a routine basis ;)  Heck, I even washed the bottom of the bags :o

Already miss her and she aint gone.  Wheels turning, thinking a .6 Ltr sportbike, maybe a torquey V-twin with back friendly ergos :o  Or maybe the new KTM1190ADV-R.....2 sets of rims, street and dirt, madness I tell ya, madness.  When will the madness stop?????

Whelp!!  She is still mine.  Seems Superman wants less motor for two up riding.  I'm sure he will be along to relate his impression.  All I gotta say is Superman validates my Silver is faster theory ;D
Bike will still be for sale, but I won't be pursuing that option heavily.
