Looking at buying this. What do you think?

[Crone]

Hey, I am looking at buying this ZX6R. What do you guys think about it? I havent owned many bikes so not 100% sure about it all.
I will take it to a bike shop and get it checked over.

Is 58,000kms too much? What do you think about the price?

Here is the link: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-470963287.htm

*Note: I have decided not to buy this bike, please see post #22 for another 2 bikes I am interested in (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=468858166 and http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-469207401.htm). Any advice appreciated Thanks for all your input*

58k is not too much at all. But I'd try to knock that price back a little. Otherwise sounds pretty good.

I just emailed you as I cannot use PM'ing yet.

Drool!! Nice bike, great photos and a well written advert.

Something I have found useful is doing a search on this site for the type of bike you are looking for. It would surprise you how often the ACTUAL bike will come up - then you can find out about all the problems they had trying to perfect wheelies, or finding replacement parts when they binned it at a track day. Or... how well loved and maintained it was. Also find out about any specific probs for that type of bike.

Agree with what the Fox said - nice ride, maybe a slightly high price, but hey we always put our ideal price in the ad right? Hit them with what you'd ideally like to pay.

That is a very nice looking one of them...$8K just might see the deal done, if not, and you really really want it (and why wouldn't you?) pay the man what he wants.
Everyone is then happy.

Re the price...I sold an eight year old 600 sports bike for $8K...the buyer really wanted it. The bike didn't even reach reserve of $7,500 at the auction.

Awesome bike. As long as you have it checked by an expert who can verify that it has no crash damage, etc. I would go for it. Best of luck.
