Hey all! Ive been here on the forum for about 10 years. I have a 1999 supersport, briefly had a 749 and just fixed and flipped an M900. Nothing beats the air-dooled bikes. I LOVED the monster but it was just too cramped, so I think I want to go the hyper rout. Yesterday i picked up one of my bucket list bikes - Hyper 1100 EVO SP
I've been watching this bike on craigslist for TWO months. It kept going down, and down, and down in price. Finally it was attractive enough to jump on it. Well... I now know why it was sitting for so long un-sold. It needs some work:
Front rim VERY SLIGHTLY bent. I believe he didnt even notice it, but I will get it fixed
Rear ohlins is completely blown. Needs rebuild.
Front tire is a Dunlop QUALIFIER (not even a Q2!!!) I have a Q3 to throw on.
Chain and sprockets are toast
Looks like the stator cover may be leaking, but otherwise the engine is very clean. Might replace it with a gasket instead of sealant
brakes feel like shit. need to solve that, hopefully just a bleed.
Body work is rough
He said a master tech did valves/belts, but seeing the condition I will go through it myself.
Has a weird custom exhaust.
Engine seems fine. Sounds great. As mentioned very clean.
I paid $5400, so I dont know if I over paid, but it came with some extremely nice aftermarket parts. I think I am going to ask around here to try and get some stock stuff and return it closer to original.
Cant wait to get it sorted out!!!
