This isn't my bike. I'm just some guy who found it on Craigslist and went to go see it in person. The owner knows what the parts are worth and won't accept low offers.

It's worth noting that the front brakes are disconnected. It comes with the calipers and lines.

The po sacrificed his tank to make a mold, and out of that mold made his own carbon tank. It looked legit in person. Many of the parts are unobtanium, and I have no idea what he had to do to get them because they all seem like they're in new condition. The tail looked like a Buell factory carbon part.

The po probably sunk over 3x the asking price into this thing. My only real criticisms are the tach meant for cars, and the bicycle computer. As far as taste goes, I would have stuck with the stock forks, and if I had to some sort of conversion, I would have done the XB/ZTL2 conversion.

The pictures don't do it justice. I thought it was some bastardized monstrosity, but could tell that it was done by somebody serious about Buells when I saw it in person. The first time though the ad had no description and worse pictures. The real reason I went to go see it was the rims, although I'm not sure if they're meant for the S1 or some other make/model since the front forks are GSXR and the swingarm is aftermarket, although it is meant for Buells...

I haven't even seen your fotos or the CL ad & yet I'll bet that it's MotoLaim's

if so, then it's one of the most sano tubers EVAR & thus likely worth $6k
