I have a rock solid 2008 Hypermotard S for sale. The bike has 12,500 miles on it and is mechanic owned and meticulously maintained. All services and service bulletins are completed and up to date. The valve adjustment and belt change and tensioning was completed by Mike at Marin Motoworks using the DDS. The shift fork and spring TSB was completed by Ace motorsports. Brakes and clutch bled with new DOT4 fluid. Chain adjusted, cleaned, and serviced with BelRay super clean chain lube every 1000 miles. Oil change every 2500 miles, AMSOIL 20W50 full synthetic, AMSOIL filter, magnet on bottom of filter casing. This bike has extensive upgrades and modifications. She has taken me to Seattle and back twice. Tried and tested.
If you're anything like me, You don't want to read a bunch of fluff you already know. I figure, if you are reading this ad, you already know what you're looking for. I'll stick to whats unique about this particular bike...
Termignoni "Dual Exhaust". Well, since its 2 into 1 into 2, calling it "dual exhaust" is kind of bullshit. I would say that it is a pipe with a resonating chamber. And that it does the trick. It sounds throaty and visceral. And tucked up under the tail, looks mean too...
I took the original "goose egg" collector pipe and chopped it open. I then removed the guts of the catalytic converter and welded the pipe back together. Looks stock, its not.
Termignoni race ECU. Further tuned for opened collector pipe by Mike at Marin Motoworks.
Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires (dual compound). 50% tread remaining. These are great tires, never slipped on me, Maybe I don't ride hard enough... Yeah, you won't either...
Subframe removed and powder coated red. Original was silver.
Triple clamps removed and epoxy painted satin back. Originally bare aluminum.
Rearsets, passenger pegs, mounting lugs, rear brake and shift lever removed and wrinkle coated satin black. Originally bare aluminum. There is absolutely NO bare aluminum on this bike except the motor.
Original bullshit, buzzy, fucking garbage, flip out mirrors removed and ran over by my work truck. Sorry, it was cathartic...
Original front brake and clutch levers replaced with black CRG shorties. Red adjusters
Pro-taper "YZ High" Gold fatty handlebars. (better sweep, the original bars put my wrists to sleep).
After market mirrors with integral LED turn signals.
Ducati "Flying D" open clutch cover. I kinda want to keep this one. Its been on all of my Ducs. If you buy the bike before I replace it, its yours...
I tried to keep it tasteful. I see too many nice bikes overdone and dripping with red anodized shit and carbon fiber everywhere... I don't like that. I wanted it to look somewhat stock. You know its been done up a little, but you can't put your finger on it.
You may ask "Why are you selling this bike"? The answer is, I am on a quest for the perfect bike. As you may know, The perfect bike does not exist. So, I'm going to buy and sell a lot of bikes trying to find it.
Ok, so now to the details. Unfortunately I have to state the obvious
I do not want to trade, I will not allow you to make payments to me, or some sort of convoluted loan scam. Cash in hand only. No cashier's checks, no money orders, no travelers checks, just don't even ask...
I have the title in hand, in my name. Test rides with the whole asking price in my hand and M1 license. Ride as long as you want. I'm confident... You'll want it.
I'd like to have $8500 for this bike.
