I saw a badass Scout (79ish) with a MARPAT digi paint job when I was stationed in Camp Lejune. Looked amazing. Not too hard to paint but takes FOREVER to make sure it's right.

there is one of those around here in east tn. ill do my best to get a picture of it. Über-badassness

Well, it's been two months and I still have the Bronco.  Anyone want to buy it?!  I've got an offer for just enough money to be able to buy this bike, what do you guys think?

http://albanyga.craigslist.org/mcy/3204879433.html

Has a small crack on the gauges, minor paint peeling on one side, and the headlight has a short (going to see if I can address that before I even consider purchasing it).  He also mentions that it likes to slip into neutral from 2nd at high RPM, seems like maybe it needs an oil change?  I'm going to check that out really well too.  If those two things check out/are easy fixes, do you think it's a good bike?

Thanks!

I would suspect a bent shift fork or transmission wear above old oil...  Why would fresh, more slippery oil make something NOT slip.

I was thinking a change in weight may be in order.  Plus, maybe it's just not engaging well in the first place, and fresh oil could help?

No not worth it, This from a former F4i owner, it was the wife's bike.
The F2 is carbed, and that means temperamental when being throttled.

Her 2006 CBR600F4i Candy tahaitian , 4200 miles in mint condition sold for $4000. That was 1 year ago on consignment at the dealership. That was right at high value blue book.

Hold out for a fuel injected bike, unless you want a tinker toy. That F2 isn't worth the price.

Yeah, I'd much prefer a bike that is FI.  Guess I'll just keep holding out!  Hoping to find something before riding season ends!

Alright guys, think this bike is worth $1500?
