I think everyone is afraid to click on the link. Even better, the first picture is of the back of the bike.

Would you consider a silver '02 FZ1 with 20k and lots of goodies? Corbin with gunfighter, luggage rack with built in hardware for a matching silver Givi v46? Laser Hotcam exhaust? Black windscreen, stock and oem touring included?

I'd throw in some cash too. Love it, it's crazy fast and smooth for long rides, but I'd like to try out a V-Twin for a while.


Let me know, I'll send you pics. It's a beautiful bike.

You should redo the pictures. I know the bike looks better than that. The problem is that you chose unflattering angles, the contrast is washed out, and they're cropped too much.

You should have at least one pic of the bike directly from the right side. This shows the bikes overrall proportions. It's also flattering because the bike is leaned slightly away so the light can fully shine on the bike. From there you can move around the bike, but make your focus the sides. You get the front and tail in the side shots. Shots from the front or rear rarely look good. Finish up with detail shots. These would include the gauges, levers, maybe a close up of the headlights, or any other part of the bike that you think looks cool or requires more "explanation". For example, a close up of your exhaust hangers. We could get a better understanding of these nonstandard parts and admire the workmanship instead of wondering if they're flimsy aluminum stamped sheet items.

As for the contrast, it looks like your camera doesn't handle white backgrounds well. Take pictures of your bike in front of a darker background. Not dark per se, but darker. The white won't bleed into your colors that way.

You want the object and a little bit of the surrounding area in your pictures. No pictures of the bike chopped off at the tires. When you take a pic of the gauges, don't zoom way in so that's all we'll see. Get a little bit of the handlebars, too. Don't get just the exhaust hangers. Get a bit of the muffler and the seat area in there, too.

List the essentials at the top of the ad. This would be year, model, miles, location, and price. Then do your blurb about why you're selling, how much you enjoyed the bike, etc. Instead of putting the stuff done to the bike in the text, make a list. Put the "easy" stuff at the top. For example, everyone knows what new tires are so they'd go near the top. Stuff like the 57mm TBs go near the bottom because some people don't know what TBs are or why'd you'd put them on. In fact, it may cause enough confusion to turn off a buyer, so you may want to omit them from the ad altogether. You can tell the buyer about it after they're interested.

Try to get at least one picture of the bike in your post, but no more than three. Make a link to the rest in your album.

There you go. That's my advice.

New price, $5,500. Thanks for the comments Moekazi. I will have to try for better pics. The exhaust brackets are polished aluminum plate with passenger pegs. The brackets came with the Renegade exhaust and they are very tough. The bike really is very nice. :peace:

Might be time to sell the 57's with the Renegade type intake. Also sell off the dual exhaust and return the bike to stock.:cheers:

[teacherboy]

I also called and left a message. I was never called back. Still interested?:cheers:

Thanks greenpea. It's my neighbors driveway. I think mine is cracked worse! 55 years of Wisconsin weather will do that. I think the 120 degree temperature swings might also have something to do with that. Our roads are much worse! :eek:

[teacherboy]

Shameless bump :cheers:

Nice...! I have an '03 T in the same color and was wondering what the ZG ST screen would look like on it.
Seems it would offer decent cold weather protection.
Thanks, and good luck.

[teacherboy]

It's way better that stock. :cheers:
