WOW! Great deal! Well, I have a 97 as well, but here in CO I've never seen that paint theme on one!

 

[sm=ttiwwp.gif] lets see pixs of the new beauty !

 

i hope your not talkin bout a smokin joe. if so, your one lucky SOB!!

 

Yes the smoking Joe Camel racing theme. With a purple back wheel and a yellow front wheel. Going to my friends house so he can take pics tommorrow. Be Patient guys and I will get the pics as soon as possible. 2 Mos ago I bought a 2006 GSXR 750 and now i run across this, well I couldnt pass it up and now Im twice as happy. Pics soon.

 

That bike is rare. I had the chance to buy one once. It had 11,000 miles on it and the dude wanted $6,000. Now I have nightmares about some dude comin on to CBRforum.com and sayin that he picked one up for $1,500. Man, terrible huh?

 

I too am about to buy a 1996 Smoking Joe edition. They want $4000 for around 4000 original miles! Im going to check out the bike this week. Does anyone know any other websites for this bike? Anywhere I can look for parts? Modifications?
And yes I have searched! Thanks in advance!

 

Well, I mean, it's an F3...

So just search for parts that way. There are a couple of places that sell replacement stickers/fairings and whatnot to match the OEM scheme... is that what you're looking for?

 

I found a 98 with under 10k miles. smokin Joe edition. Good deal for $3,200? Some scuffs on the left side tail where it was dropped in a parking garage. Had frame sliders installed before that and nothing else was damaged. Has a semi-matching helmet and a jacket (but is too small). He also had the bike lowered...

sound good?

 

sounds decent, I would try to take him down a little bit. Smokin joes or not it's still a 98 F3. you could spend a grand more and get a newer, better, faster bike. My friend just bought a 99 or 99 R1 champions edition for $3,600 with 9,800 miles on it. If he doesn't go down a decent amount I would just keep looking bro. But I'm sure there is some Smokin Joes freak out there that would buy it at $3,200 in a heart beat. I guess it just depends on who you are. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

 

I think RobbyM was puttin' us on...

Post some pics or 'fess up!
