2001 EX250 race bike for sale (socal)

[CaptainPlatypus]

As you can see in the accident thread if you haven't, my 250 got totaled by insurance recently. There was no mechanical damage, so I decided to buy her back to sell to someone who could get some more use out of her.

The bad first:

• Salvage certificate
• No fairings (all beyond repair)
• No mirrors or blinkers
• Significant cosmetic damage to right side exhaust
• Slightly dented tank
• one plastic instrument panel attachment broken

And now the good:

• Perfect running condition - engine, carbs, electrical, everything
• No frame damage
• Fluids, valves, etc - full service done within the past 4 months
• Tires are Pirelli MT75s with only about 1500 miles on them

As is she's pretty much ready to be a track bike - pull/cover the remaining lights, superglue or remove the instrument panel, throw some race plastics on if that's your jam, you're done. Alternatively, all she needs to get back into the DMV system as street legal is front blinkers and mirrors. The paperwork I've heard mixed things about - either it's a major headache or a joke. I just don't want to have to worry about it.

I'm not really sure how much she's worth like this. I got her back from insurance for $200 because they were worried the front forks were bent - they were just twisted a bit where they met the triple clamps. Two minutes sorted that. I'm asking for $500 - if you don't think that's a reasonable price, let me know what would be. I care a lot more that she gets used (even if you beat the **** out of her learning to drag knee/elbow/ear and retire her the next day) than I do about making a profit.

She was good to me. Help me find a home for her.

If you were close to me it would be sold! Instant cafe racer right there!

I do have decent red fairings,mirrors headlamp available in about a month if someone needed then for this bike, they could have dibs on my red ones.
I am going to go naked.

Yeah, no engine's "perfect," but I've actively searched for flaws and not found any. It's @EMSRacer07's old engine, and it runs better than I've been led to believe 250 engines should - idles smoothly all the way down to 1k RPM, starts up with a minimum of choke, runs beautifully, the whole shebang. The engine alone I could probably sell for the $300 I got it for, if I end up having to part her out, but I'd rather just do this with a minimum of fuss.

Perfect for the price, imo.
