For sale is my 1998 Honda CBR 600 F3 Smokin Joes Special Edition with only 3362 Miles. To my knowledge there were only 500 of these bikes produced in the USA. I may be incorrect on this but the last 3 digits of the VIN are supposed to represent the number of the bike made. For this bike it is 214, which should mean this is #214 of #500 produced. This is a very sharp looking bike which I have rarely driven. I have owned this motorcycle for 10 years and it is just time for a change. The bike has never been modified and is completely original. I bought this bike a while back because I loved the looks of it. I ended up loving my car a little more so I never drove this much. I never wanted to part with it because I liked the way it looked. I drove it once every spring, once every summer and once every fall to make sure it was running fine. The bike was professionally tuned up twice and currently has a brand new battery that is just a couple months old. The bike was stored in a garage for the summers, once and a while I would keep it outside. In the winter it was stored in a garage a couple years but most of the time it was in heated storage. The bike was never laid down but it did rub up against a brush once while moving it. There are a couple minor scratches on the right side of the bike. Nothing real major but they are there. The only other thing wrong with the bike would be a few pieces of black plastic trim look a little dull after the years have gone by. Other than the couple minor scratches, everything on the bike is in excellent condition. It would be what you expect for a bike with only 3362 miles on it. Most of these bikes have been crashed or parted out so the real number left is much less than produced. I would find it extremely hard to find another smoking joes bike in this condition with this low of miles. The bike always ran premium gas and the tank has the signature of Miguel Duhamel which was the driver of the race bike that this bike is modeled after. I took a photo of the front and rear tires. They are still the original tires, show a little weathering from being original but they still have tons of life left on them. Key Features Only 3362 Miles Original Smokin Joes made by Honda, not a replica Brand new battery Never has been modified, completely original Professionally worked on Ran ocasionally to make sure seals were lubricated To my knowledge only 500 produced Clean Title I can help answer any questions you may have about the bike. I would assume the type of person interested in this special bike will know almost anything they need to know already, however I am around to help. I can take more photos of the bike if needed. I try to describe the bike the best as I can. Of course I may miss some small detail here or there but I try to put everything on the auction that someone would need to know. I will require a $500 down payment within 24hrs of auction close. This can be done through paypal or I can take a credit card to hold the funds. I can charge the card through my merchant account. For final payment of the remaining balance nearly any type of payment is fine. I would prefer a bank check, cash or wire transfer. I can accept a personal check, however I would have to wait for it to clear to release the bike. Shipping of the bike can be arranged by the buyer or local pickup from Wausau, WI is another option as well. I am willing to work with you on getting the bike to your location.
