    They aren't that rare. Non std. Dull paint. Sticker kit too big and unbalanced. Doesn't even have a YZ engine fitted, and you would.

    I've owned one of these for a few years, its definitely not a 2006 model.
    I didn't have much luck trying to sell mine (tidier example) for $7K five years ago, but who knows, maybe the 'ol K4 has increased in value since?

    I have an MC28 project I want to sell, and I've always wanted a YSR

    I'd call that $5k. It's K4/5 I think.

    Id have thought that all the runout specials being offered on gsxr's over the last year, that the value of second hand gsxr's would be sweet fuck all. a brand new bike for 12995, or a 5-7 year old bike thats probably been raped like an indian girl on a bus for 7k?

    no brainer

    The summerfest doesn't seem to make much difference.

    The used values are held up at the lower end by people with (say) $7k to spend who can't/won't stretch their budget further. Doesn't really matter how much better value they'd get spending a bit more when that 7 year old GSXR is the bike they want the most that's within their budget.

    Yeah when 'a bit more' becomes pretty much double (6k extra) it's not a hard decision, financially, especially if borrowing is the only way you can stretch it.
    And there is the fact that you have instantly lost money no matter what when you buy new, where as savvy secondhand buying can net you a 'break even' (on purchase price, not cost of ownership) or rarely even make a little money.
