THIS IS A RE-LISTING AFTER THE LAST BIDDER CHOSE "BUY IT NOW" AND THEN "CHANGED THEIR MIND"
The previous owner rebuilt the front caliper and I rebuilt the master cylinder.
The runs and drives WONDERFULLY - I drove her everyday and she is a joy to ride : )
Their are a few small problems with this bike:
1) There is a small scratch on the tank (see pictures)
2) After driving her for a few weeks a slight "lag" developed when accelerating - nothing major as I still drove her everyday.
(I am not a motorcycle mechanic and did not attempt to correct the problem for fear of making it worse. I am to assuming there is a problem with mixture, or the carbs aren't completely sync'd. The lag is between 2000 and 3000 RPM, above or below that or cruising their is no issue, just accelerating.)
UPDATE: I had a Harley Mechanic Look at the Bike and he told me that the carbs were running rich and just needed adjustment.
3) The front forks need the seals replaced as they are beginning to leak some oil

I have several questions about the bike so I'll try and answer them here. I am not a Motorcycle mechanic. I'm an old CAR mechanic. I did not change the carburetors, the gentleman I purchased the bike from told me he had them replaced. I have no paperwork but I do have the old carburetors (which come with the bike after the auction) I installed a new battery and rebuilt the master cylinder. I adjusted the clutch (would not go out of gear when I purchased it) so I could drive it. I have been driving it nearly every day for almost two months. I LOVE driving it. Why am I selling it? After I purchased it my wife got cold feet, and then my mom and mother in law chimed in. I have two young children so the arguments just weren't worth it at this point. I had a Harley mechanic stop by (yesterday) to check it out for a friend of his and this is what he had to say: Front Caliper is hanging up slightly Clutch is in need of some fine tuning adjustment Carburetors are running a bit rich Rear tire is close to needing replacement IF you have anymore questions feel free to write - more than happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks!

A real Monster of a bike
Wed, 13 Jun 2012The bike above was once a Ducati Monster S4. It was restyled by Italian custom builder Ferruccio Codutti who took a year crafting the look out for aluminium for one of his customers. Ignoring the grotesque nose, Codutti's work is impressive as the front end was made by the man himself.
Bradl learns Laguna on a 'Blade
Thu, 07 Jun 2012As neither the 125GPs or the Moto2 classes race at Laguna Seca, Stefan Bradl smartly used his time between the Le Mans and Catalunya Grand Prixs to learn the California track and the Corkscrew ahead of the US GP on July 29th. Riding a loaned Fireblade from Honda America, the German took the to undulating circuit on a trackday, reportedly passing other riders very politely - watch a small glimpse of him here. “Moto2 and Moto3 don’t race at Mazda Raceway so we thought it was a good idea to have a first taste of this tight and twisty circuit." said the 2011 Moto2 champion said.
