Default Electric motorcycle for sale

First off, the bike is a 1987 Honda CBR f1.
Motor - D&D 72volt
Controller - Alltrax 72volt 450amp
Batteries - 6 sealed Optima yellow top

I finished the conversion last fall, then the Wisconsin winter hit, and the bike got stored in a corner of the garage. It is now time to move on to bigger and better things (I'm thinking a 350z or a Mustang will be a good project )

Last fall we took the bike out for a range test, the day was about 45 degrees. I still had the controller set to the factory settings, so range was lower than what i think it is capable of. We got about 9mi averaging about 50mph. The same day, we did some acceleration testing, 0-60 in about 6 seconds, 0-40 in just over 2 seconds.

From what I have seen on this site, with the right settings on the controller, the bike could get close to a 20mi range, at 35mph.

Now comes the difficult part, I do not have a title for the bike. Thanks to the lovely Wisconsin DOT, and their hatred of anything modified, they have refused to title my beloved bike. That being said, WI is one of the strictest when it comes to automobile laws. One may have better luck in a different state. Or there are 'other' ways of getting a title, everyone seems to have a friend of a friend who can 'get' a title.


Pics available, if anyone is in south central WI, let me know, I'd love to show you in person. As for price, I was thinking $6000 OBO.

Thanks, matt z

Why no title?

Did you get a Bill of Sale with the bike?

Are you interested in Trades?

I dont have a title because the former owner is very uncooperative. The dealer that i bought the bike from has a bill-of-sale from him to them. And I have a bill-of-sale from them to me. They tried to help me get a title, but the WI DOT isnt happy about the bike being modified, and the previous owner wont get involved.

Like I said above, yes I do have a Bill of sale.

A trade would be OK. depending on what it is.
