Any Known Non-Dct Tranny Failures?

For some reason I'm unable to post a direct link to the eBay auction, but if you do a search for auction #251664322620, you'll see the bike.  The seller is an authorized Honda dealer.

I don't ever recall reading about a standard tranny failure on the 1200.

Thanks.

30K miles and none here.   Don't recall hearing of any either.

must have been a hard 27,000 miles

52,000 miles and none...still shifts smooth.  Haven't heard either. 

Some says it's a one big pile of bullshit...

There was a DCT failure....

@ Ishark.  That's what I'm thinking, too.  And who knows how close the engine is to throwing a rod or how close the bike is to blowing the rear end (or whatever you call a bike's equivalent of a ring and pinion.)

I'm thinking I should get a '10 since I'd want to have it painted white, anyway.  There are definitely deals out there on 1200's.  In the last month alone I've seen a new '10 for $7,999, a new '12 for $9,999, and a new '13 for $10,999.  All non-DCT's.

There is a used '12 near you on CL that you could get for $8500.

buying a used sport bike is like marrying a hooker......ridden hard and put away wet

About 1/2 the time, my '13 won't shift from 2nd to 3rd (it misses) if I run hard from 1st to 2nd and keep full throttle while in second and momentarily let off throttle (fraction of a moment) as I slam the kicker into 3rd. The work-around for my problem is to fully disengage throttle while in second (literally feel the drive train backlash) for just a moment before shifting into 3rd. This problem occurs only when I run hard and keep power on while shifting and the bike is hot.

In otherwords, I can't drag race without hesitation as I slam from 1st to 2nd to 3rd.
