i'll post up, i guess i just don't know enough about these bikes,
one of the guys from the board posted the bike up for sale for a buddy in cleveland, i cant remember who posted it originally, they are both in cleveland. dennis did the turbo and tuned the bike. i bought the bike for $11,500. i talked to dennis and the guy that posted it and they both gave it a clean bill of health, had less than 2k miles on it.
dennis told me that if i was running pump gas, i needed to bring the bike to him before bringin it home so he could detune the bike. i hung out for a couple hours, he had other stuff goin on, i saw a pull with 220-230 hp, while he was finishing the bike, i helped pick up another customers bike with the trailer i bought up there as well.
when i got back later, dennis said the bike made 251rwhp.
got the bike home, took it down to have the oil changed by buddy at a local shop and put a new shinko on the back of the bike. cut the plastic around the turbo pipe.
rode the bike 3 or 4 times, took it down to dave page to have an air shifter put on it, he commented on how great the drivability was and how great the bike ran.
took the bike to a cruise in, they had a 200hp only dyno, i figured i'd max it out, they said it was around 157 hp, i said they were stupid, the bike must have been spinning the tire, or they were doing somthing wrong.
the bike ran great, felt strong to me, i don't have anything to compare it to as i've never been on a turbo bike. the bike doesn't sputter, spit, i took it out for a 300 mile run one day and it was flawless,
dennis said it made 251, dave said the bike ran great.
as far as the bike being dirty, the last time i rode it, i got caught in a huge rain. i had full intentions of doing a full wash wax on the bike, i got a check on saturday for the bike, greg said he was going to have the bike picked up, i assumed i would have more than 15 mintues to get the bike cleaned up, as far as oil, there isn't a drop of oil in my garage and the bike has been parked there for a few months in the same spot. i haven't had the plastic off since it was first off when i bought the bike,
twisted inside triples, i have no idea what that means,
as far as the one smallest sticker on the bike that is scratched, i was told it was coming in the mail to me and i said i would forward it with the pegs, i also said if the previous owner didn't forward the pegs and sticker to me in a timely fashion that i would pay for them.
we agreed on a price of 10,750, you then called and said you talked to the same guy in cleveland that i talked to and he told you the bike had painted parts on it. and that was a problem for you. i told you then, i never really noticed, i just thought the 04 se looked great with the 06 body kit. you said it would cost $500 to have the parts powder coated. i said i really don't want to discount because i have other buyers and i'm already taking a hit on a bike i rode 7 times. but, i said you sent me a $200 deposit, just send me 10k more and i'll eat $550 to that you can have the stuff powder coated. so i've already paid for that. you knew they were painted (i could care less they were painted as i thought the bike looked great and got nothing but compliments), but you seemed to have a problem with it, so i sucked it up to get rid of the payment because of the car i have on order.
as far as the air shifter, i really don't have a clue, i only used the thing 3 times and it worked fine, i've only rode the bike like 7 times since i got it.
i bought it the way it sat and thought it looked great, everyone that saw it did nothing but compliment me on it. i took a hit on a bike i bought from here, that i loved, on recommendations form dennis, and the other guy in cleveland. i rode it 7 or 8 times, only because i needed to get rid of the payment. i'm far from mechanical, i pay people to do just about everything. i paid dennis to tune it, i paid dave ot do the air shifter, and a shop to do a new tire and oil change.
bike has performed flawlessly from the minute i got it. i guess i just don't know how fast a turbo is supposed to be, i never raced the bike.
if the power is not there, then i was lied to by dennis
