Now, I know, generally CBRs aren’t rare at all but a Smokin’ Joe Ed. is somewhat rare and this is supposedly the first ’98. Located in Morgan Hill, California is a clean looking 1998 CBR600F3. The seller only states that: “This bike is CLEAN. Low miles, new tires, upgraded exhaust…This bike was the FIRST Smokin Joe EVER made, VIN shows ..001” This last part isn’t entirely true but it may be the first 1998 SE–with the probable VIN of JH2PC253*WM750001. The seller is asking $5,000. If you’re a collector or just looking for something different, this might be worth a look. See the ad on Craigslist here.
