i hate when i see ad's like this.

This is the first Smokin' Joe made in 1998.
Serial numder wm750001 4000 miles on bike.
It is in perfect shape. NOT ONE scrape, ding, or scratch.
It has been keeped in a heated garage. Run perfect.
It would be hard to find a Smokin' Joe this clean.
Can deliver within california. $6,000.00
This is one nice, good running, clean, rare motorcycle.









i just cant believe that someone would actually try and sell this bike for that much money. im all for people trying to get a good price for their bike but this just seems outrageous.. ok sorry for the rant

 

Its a very nice bike, but you can get 05/06's for around that (05's anyway). I'd sat its a little much

 

i totally agree its a nice bike! looks like its been taken care of , but i hate when you see older bikes going for the same as newer 01-06 bikes. it really makes me wonder what these people are thinking when they put up a price and who actually buys it

 

I guess there are always those who would rather have older then newer (not that that is a bad thing) Kind of a collector type deal.

I think its an awesome bike like I said, but dont know if I could bring myself to spend that much

 

Supply and demand. I'm not theexpert of buyers, but when I see something I want, and compare it to where else I can get one in in similar shape....so on, well, product dictates price.
The first one made, show-room mint condition, exceptionally well cared for....I'd say it's a fair price. To me anyway, if I were in the market. Sure you could get an 05RR that would smoke it (no pun intended), but it's another 05 rr, but theres not many original mint camel hondas around, not that I see anyway. Just my .02

 

It really depends on your view of the bike.

 

Nice bike

 

actually (and trust me I wouldn't buy this bike) people would pay more than that for a good shape smokin joe F3...

check this ebay auction out for example

yeah it's a nice bike and I'm all about mint condition older bikes...I'm sure he wont have a problem selling

 

Just a paint scheme on a F3 to me but there is an *** for every seat. D2MEclipseGT_600RR it's deffinitly a collectors item just doesn't belong in my garage. Not that it isn't a nice bike but I'd rather buy something else.
