Never been to a track day, dropped, or pushed in anyway. Clear title free of encumbrances and liens. All stock, excellent condition. I have a book with every single receipt from maintenance. I bought it when i was serving in Fort Belvoir, U.S. Army base near Bethesda, MD and now I am in United Kingdom.

I have dropped my price to $2800 (purchase price) since this is an Urgent Sale! and I need to sell it before 28 July, when I will be deployed in Iraq with my platoon replacing the troops scheduled to come home."

Why would transferring from the UK to Iraq mean that you need to dispose of a bike in the US? Logic fail. It would make more sense if they were shipping out from the US to Iraq. Oops, but that would mean potential buyers would ask if they could come over and see the (non-existant) bike. Can't have that.
