Second-hand bikes with 30,000km on the clock?

[miloking]

you're referring to the 1000RR. My bad. I meant the 600RR.

Yeah appologies, i was confused too

...I was confused too

welcome to my world

Like all others above. 30k is not too much if the bike has been looked after.

forget those bikes with moped engines.

+1 on bigger engine as 600 will get boring pretty quick (i got 1000 and starting to feel bored already)...but perhaps something that will also be able to turn

Litre bikes are for fat old men. You'll get bored of riding around in 2nd gear at 3000rpm pretty quickly.

Avoid Suzuki's. They're shite. Otherwise it's all good :-)

Coming from a Hornet rider...

Come back when you can beat a 20-year-old 400cc.

Cracking the frame is for wimps.

there is no such a thing as 07/08 ...07 and 08 are two completely different bikes (talking about 1000RR not 600RR right?)

BTW OP this one is cheap http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-286141269.htm

Ok do i hear a challange... do you want to put a bet on it ?

actualy thats too easy who would want a 300kg whale with zillion miles from last millenium

I see you asked about 600 vs 750 GSXRs. I have only ridden the 750, not the 600, but for the same size frame/ weight etc, I don't know why you wouldn't choose the extra cc every time. Also the 750 is the more "iconic" bike in the range, in my opinion.

Unless ACC levies are a serious issue. Maybe some 600 riders could comment on why they didn't go the 750?

Good luck with your decision; at least you are enjoying the shopping!

... Maybe some 600 riders could comment on why they didn't go the 750?...

Price

When I got mine the K8 GSXR750 (black) was my first choice, then K8 GSXR600 (black), then 08 ZX6R (green!), then 08 CBR600RR. I didn't want to go from 250 to 1000.

Unfortunately Suzuki guys in Auckland weren't moving much from RRP being newly released models at the time. $2k (I didn't have) more than cash price for CBR from Boyd Honda or 6R from Mt Eden.

Anything sub 100,000 is good by me.
Will not cost you any more than typical "new bike" as there are more wrecks to get parts from after a certain age. Makes things a bit cheaper.

[Okey Dokey]

Price

Fair enough, that is an obvious reason (but I didn't think of it...)

[KiwiNinja]

Thanks for the commentsl. Really I think I'll have to take a few for a test drive then it's just a waiting game until the right bike comes along.

ACC levies aren't an issue so I'll be jumping at a 750 if the right one comes along. But then you ask why not a 1000? I am mainly communting and woud rather drive a mid-range bike fast-ish rather than chug along at 3k revs hardly getting out of 2nd. Really like the Daytonas but hard to find one in good condition under $10k. The bike hunt continues...
