99 R6... wait whaaaat?

[Porkchop]

http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/1662274627.html

I am selling my one of a kind 1999 Yamaha R6. Sergei Fedorov formerly of the Detroit Red Wings was the original owner. There has only been one other owner and then me. THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AN OLDER BIKE. Runs excellent with 13K miles

Sergei modified many things including:
The front bug lights with smaller clear super LED turn signals
Replaced the muffler with a Jardine high performance muffler
Replaced the standard windshield with a tinted blue shield to match the bike
Re-stitched both seats with blue and white leather and added padding
Took off the backend bug turn signal lights and replaced them with white LED lights

The motorcycle also has a new rear tire (Dunlop sport max qualifier) with 1000 miles on it. The bike has been kept covered inside a heated garage the past 3 winters.

I also have a helmet and a Joe Rocket riding jacket for free if you purchase the bike

I have many more pictures if you are interested.
Call Casey at 440-523-8535

[Captain Morgan]

So, the turn signals get replaced and it all of a sudden is not like an older bike, and it's one of a kind? Ok, sure. Don't ya just love people like this?

[goof2]

I wouldn't pay that much unless it came with Fedorov's (supposed) ex-wife. She denies the marriage.

Proof? Post a pic of the bill of sale if it's really true.

BTW, seats should be nothing but black. Colored seats are mad ghey IMO.

Eh.......Not bad, but I'd rather the tail fairing be red instead of the seats.

Those red seats will fade to pink in 4-5 years.

[Porkchop]

Just because it was signed, doesn't make it his bike. Why would a millionare athlete have a lowly Yamaha R6??? I would like this guy to prove me wrong....

You had negative comments about my car, my bike (before, and please don't play innocent now). You just seem to always have something bad to say about other people's stuff. Apparently "ghey"=anything that homeslice doesn't have or can't afford.:idk:

You know, for a guy who always claims that he "doesn't care" what people say, and that "its just the internet".......

The only thing I've EVER said about your car is that you should ditch the tail lights. And the only thing I said about that R6 is that I don't like its seat. That's a lot different from saying "R6's suck" or "Your bike sucks".

[Mr Lefty]

Nice side step..

aha so you admit it!:lol: Actually, do a post search, I'll bet that you'll find quite a few snipes at different bikes... I honestly don't care, I'm just picking with you. You're welcome to your opinion of my bike... Heck, lots of people hate it.:lol:

The burden of proof is on you, so you do the search. :idk: I've criticized plenty of bikes, but only ones that aren't actually owned by someone here. As far as I recall, yours is the only one belonging to a member that I've criticized, and only by saying something like "why do you really need that mod".........I've never said your bike looks bad or is bad in general. In fact, I've posted more than once that the K5/K6 is my favorite Jap liter bike.

Very good looking bike, but I do agree with the 'slice, colored seats don't look good most of the time IMO

[Porkchop]

A-L's bike is sick. And thats coming from someone who doesn't like Zuks. The seat is tastefully done, and blends well with the bike. I like colored seats, especially stock ones... they set off the bike. Black is boring.

I personally would have gone with the Larry Bird bodywork...that shit is mad tyte...

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll220/lontigger/IMG_59771.jpg

White is my favorite color, blue is second and the gold will go well with my mods. Kevin was a hero of mine growing up...of course, KR was the man but I won't do a Yam kit on a Zuk...I do have some standards!:lol:

[Porkchop]

Man I like that..... :drool:

Who do you go through for kits? How is the quality of them?

[goof2]

Nice! Scribble some shit on the tank and claim it was owned by House of Pain to increase the value.

[Amber Lamps]

Man I like that..... :drool:

Hmmm....psssttt it's on the picture.... Their quality is "good" and the price is great...$550 shipped complete with (another) windshield and tank pad (to give away). There are other companies that claim better fit but they are about $300 more. I had to "tweek" mine to get them on but the plastic is high quality-80% of stock and the fit is maybe 70-85% stock. The graphics are top notch. My only complaint was the rush job they did on the clear coat (couple runs) which they refunded me $150 to cover.

Btw, if they have a kit for any other bike, they will happily do that design on yours for no extra charge.

[fnfalman]

I'll sign that bike as William Hung.

[Rider]

I'm calling BS on the previous owner. Like mentioned no way Federov would own an R6.

[Porkchop]

Federov did play 2 years in Columbus.... so its not a far reach to say that he got the bike signed while he was still in town. But shit, owned it? Come on..... :bs:

[karl_1052]

It would be easy to find out with the VIN if he owned it or not, but shouldn't he have bought a red/white R6?

He was traded to Columbus in 05. Why would a superstar, who made up to $28,000,000 buy a 6 year old 600?:lol:

[Amber Lamps]

I don't know who this Federov guy is but I think its plausible for him to own a R6...why not?

I actually agree with this. Michael Jordan started riding on either a GSXR1000 or 600, I can't remember which. Regardless of how much money you have, you still can buy a sensible bike. Besides, at that time the R6 was the middle weight to beat.:idk:

When you have a 7 figure salary you don't a buy Yamaha R6.

[goof2]

When you have a 7 figure salary you don't a buy Yamaha R6.

Some do, some don't. Keep in mind we are talking about professional athletes here, often times not the brightest in the bunch. The scenario I see is athlete driving by a bike shop and deciding "I want one of them Ninjas", walking in to the shop and saying "I wanna go fast", sales guy saying "Get an R6", athlete writes check. When running back Michael Pittman (well over $10 million for his career) was in Tampa he rode a TLR. It was all blinged and stretched, but he didn't get a Ducati, Bimota, West Coast Chopper, or some other super expensive bike.

[Tmall]

Luc Bourdon was a high level rookie who died on a Gixxer, some dumb ass baseball player or football player died or got hurt on a busa. They don't all buy ducati's and Mv's.

I'm not arguing the point too much, but to say there's no way Sergei Federov would buy an R6, when the bike in 99 was THE bike to have, is a bit much. In 99, the r1 and r6 were king of the hill and maybe he was smart enough to not start on a 1000?

I agree with that but still I find it highly unlikely. I'd have to see a title with his name on it before I'd believe.

[Homeslice]

He would have saved the bill of sale or something if he was really proud of the fact that Fedorov owned it.

Look at knuckleheads like rothlesburger and kellen winslow jr, thye just bought hte latest/greatest crotchrockets. Some of the guys who truly are into the bikes will buy the high end stuff. An upstate aprilia/ducati dealer sold several bikes to bernie williams when he was playing in NY. I had also heard other athletes had bought high end bikes but they werent about to start name dropping :(

[Tsunami]

I think Catherine Bell rides an R6 as well. There isn't that big of a price difference between a Yamaha and say a run of the mill ducati, aprilia, mv augusta. Just a few thousand dollars which is a small difference when you think about the difference in price points in cars.

The R6 is 7 years old now. Where does it say Federov currently owns the bike? That's right, it doesn't. It says the bike's been owned by 3 people: Federov, some other guy, the current seller. Logic would damn near fucking make you think Federov must've bought it new!

I wouldn't buy the bike, don't think it's worth asking price, but don't disregard the fact it could've been owned by a wealthy athlete when it was new because "it's just an R6" or "because it's 7 years old now". :lmao:

lol, a few things to ponder while you sit at your computer, first of all where in my post does it say he bought the bike when he was in Columbus? Second he bought the bike new in 99 you big big freak. Third, its pretty obvious you know nothing about bikes and have never ridden before, so why don't you hop back on your scooter and get back to work at McDonalds. Loser!

Work at McDonalds, hmm……That must be you, since your bike is 11 years old and isn’t going to fetch more than $2500 at best. You want $4,000 for that crap? What a joke, for only $3,000 more I could get a brand new ZX6R, and some dealers have even been selling ZX10’s and 1000rr’s for that price, plus tax & setup of course. Oh and by the way, I had an R6 once, but it was an 05…..Much superior to your outdated heap. And I have over 60,000 miles under my belt, how about you? Tool. It’s fuckwits like you who are responsible for why craigslist has gone to shit.

NO, i do not want fries with that.... So how many times are you going to say that today?? I have had over 20 interested buyers and one guy from Florida who is driving up here to see it next week, which has prompted (yes look it up Mcdonals boy) to think about raising the price a little. Anyway if you knew anything about bikes you would know that the 05 r6 is when they started putting plastic on the rear. And yes dont' get all excited because i said rear. Get a life, and by the way your late for work, don't forget your hat Mcdonals boy.
