Where: O'Fallon, Missouri
Why: A DCT for under $6000
Price: Auction with $5750 reserve
Here we have a low-mileage first-year 1200F Interceptor featuring the Dual Clutch Transmission. This bike is also fitted with a few nice farkles — bar risers, rear stand, smoked screen and hugger rear fender. The seller is the original owner and has put on just shy of 10,000 miles. New Michelins and battery are installed. The bike is described as "beautiful and like new condition" but notes a small crack in the seat vinyl. It's a little disheartening to see the values of the very capable VFR1200s so low, but it does represent an opportunity for the smart buyer. Hurry, auction ends Tuesday afternoon (March 7).
Update: No sale. With 16 bids on the books, the high bid of $5999 came up short of the reserve by only $151.
