Any Ideas??

bigrodge8 · January 25th, 2011, 05:43 PM

I'm looking at buying an 06 GSX-R600 in the near future. The one I'm looking at has about 5600 miles on it. It has been lowered 1 inch front and rear and it has the seat cowl. Any input would be appreciated fellas. I rode it today for a few miles and it felt great. I just dont know of any problems or gripes about them.

I think they are a gorgeous product of manufacturing. Idk much about them other than they look great. Gl with the sale.

Thats fairly low miles for the year. I'm sure it was lowered so the person could touch the ground. They sit kind of high. A good friend of mine has an 08 GSXR600 and he loves it. He keeps telling me to buy one. Lol

What's wrong with your 250?

coondog · January 25th, 2011, 06:09 PM

All the GSXR's are phenomonal sport rides. Only 5600 miles is something to point out as a bad thing to the seller, and the fact it's 5 years old. Work those two into a good price for yourself. What's the asking price and what did you see as far as tire condition, brake rust, chain slack, and all the easy **** to check.

That's a great bike and one of the best years. Don't forget to pay the "winter" price.

Gonna end up waiting for my ninja to sell first. (its in the marketplace if anyone is interested) The guy says the gixxer isnt going anywhere so no rush. The only thing I didnt like about the gixxer was trying to make u-turns and walking it around turn in a parking lot. the bike felt great on the street but isnt very maneuverable when your walking it.

Rodge, there is an 08 Honda CBR600RR, down the block, with 4000 miles asking $5500 or best offer so make sure you are getting a great deal. They are out there if you look. It is winter time.

bigrodge8 · January 26th, 2011, 10:41 AM

Wow thats a good price. where is it located??? i could only get this guy down to $5300 on this gixxer.

NADA guides has it $3,725 low retail and $4,900 high retail. I would try to talk him down more.

Well guys, went to my bank, and they will loan my 100% of the nada value which is $4900. However the guy wont guy less than $5300. I just cant see paying more than something is actually worth, so I think I'm gonna let this one go. What do you guys think?
