2001 FZ in Blue for Sale. - Page 2

VA_rider · 04-09-2012, 04:10 PM

Thanks dude!

Funny enough, I did get another message today asking me to sell just the luggage and whatnot...

So... to say again...

Here's the deal. Nothing will be removed from the bike while it is in my hands. If whoever buys it doesn't want the luggage, and wants to sell it all.. that's on them.

VA_rider · 04-11-2012, 04:23 AM

Bump.

halouis · 04-11-2012, 05:53 AM

GLWTS. I bought my FZ1 in Staunton, VA just a few months ago.

what are you moving on to?

High Lord Gomer · 04-11-2012, 06:14 AM

Forgive my ignorance, but what weight of a rider would that suspension be setup for?

Does that include the top case or just the side cases?

grommet · 04-11-2012, 06:38 AM

Wow. If I had only waited a year to buy . . .

Very nicely sorted machine there.

I'll probably wait a while before I get my next one... the issue right now is that I don't have any time to ride.... The first year I had my FZ, I put on 17,000 miles.... last year, I put on less than 800... This year, I've put on... 0.... So... that's the issue for now... but once life calms down a bit, I'm sure I'll get something fun.

Not an ignorant question at all. The suspension is set up for about 220-260lbs... depending on your riding style... I was living in NC until July this year, and was less than 15 miles from a 12 mile stretch of road with 489 curves. (No, not the Dragon.) So, because of that, I had it set a little on the stiff side... but you can back off the front and rear pre-load a bit, turn down the damping, and get a bit cushier ride.

There are 2 360's so you can use them as side-cases, or you can use one for the top case... a lot of times, I would just put one on top and leave the other at home... on regular rides, I didn't need 2 side cases and a top case... but for longer trips, I'd toss them both on and be set for a week long trip...

If you want to buy it.. I'll toss in a Nelson Rigg Tank bag and Tail bag (soft case, not hard luggage) for the cross country type trips...

You could always have a second one....

High Lord Gomer · 04-11-2012, 02:33 PM

I am scheduled to work in DC next week. If I can scrape together the money I could swing by Sunday on my way up there.

VA_rider · 04-11-2012, 02:34 PM

Sounds good... let me know. I'll have it all shined up for ya.

mrmotoman37 · 04-11-2012, 03:57 PM

wow, this will be gone quickly.

High Lord Gomer · 04-12-2012, 09:12 AM

I will be there Sunday afternoon.

sending PM...

VA_rider · 04-12-2012, 09:40 AM

Sounds good!

I'll make sure that I have all of the various bits and pieces gathered together for you (luggage, silencer for the MIVV, Etc.)

Thanks for the interest folks!

Gomer, you have to promise to not take pictures of the tears in my eyes as you pull away.

CrazyBiker · 04-12-2012, 12:35 PM

Sorry man for the sale but you got to do what you got to do. It is missing the centerstand BTW

VA_rider · 04-12-2012, 12:40 PM

The center stand had to go with the rearset install... the center stand hit the rearset on the shifter side and didn't allow movement... if you move the rearsets forward it's not a problem...

In any case, I have the center stand in a box at home if you want that Gomer... but I used front and rear stands, so I didn't miss the center stand....

High Lord Gomer · 04-13-2012, 05:50 AM

Yes, please. I do use the centerstand for tire changes, chain adjustments, etc.

With my knees, I may need to move them forward, anyway.

VA_rider · 04-14-2012, 04:10 PM

For those asking why I was selling...

And Cullen... Thanks!

Gomer... see you tomorrow.

zachandjake · 04-14-2012, 04:25 PM

Aaron, Looks like congrats is in order on both counts!

Really happy for you and the little lady!

David

VA_rider · 04-14-2012, 04:41 PM

Thanks David!

t84a · 04-14-2012, 05:25 PM

Congrats Aaron. I knew there had to be more to the story.

diehli · 04-14-2012, 05:49 PM

Fvcking awesome fvcking! Way to ride VA.

But seriously, congrats to you and the missus. That's quite awesome. Had no idea you guys were even interested in kids, but it all makes sense with school and life.

Though, in Boone you had the built-in babysitters downstairs....

VA_rider · 04-14-2012, 06:11 PM

I'm surprised those people downstairs were allowed around their own children..... within a day of them moving in, I watched their 2 year old tumble head over heels down my stairs...

Plus, where we live now, there are a lot of retired folks around... we're 20-30 minutes away from both sets of our parents... so... that ain't bad either...
