At lower revs and lower speeds, the engine doesn't feel particularly happy, and the suspension isn't particularly compliant. Was looking at the pics on the off-chance it was my actual bike (sold to a dealer in Oakland when I picked up the 10R), but if there aren't holes in the fairings for the vortex framesliders, it's not mine.
I think that the R6 would have somewhat more $ value than the ninjette, but it is right now a 7 year old bike that is typically treated in a way that doesn't encourage long life. Check for transmission problems, even that range still had issues with a weak second gear on some units.

Good advice Alex, if we meet up I will probably meet up at my mechanics and he can look over both bikes for both of us. Not sure what owner he is on it, but he has two of them, said there are no mechanical problems and that its been his GF's bike. So not sure how long its been in his possession.
