What would you pay: GSX-R600 K6?

[ducatilover]

5K? What horse radish. You'll still get 5k for a K1-4 era

[Conquiztador]

I can't tell if the first part of your post is serious or not. It's a 112 BHP supersport bike. Of course it's not a LAMS bike. What on earth are you riding to think that a 600 sports is "compromised", and a "step up" bike? An S1000RR?

Anyway, on thread I wouldn't pay more then 5-6k for one. Any more then that and you're starting to get into the territory where you can find new or just barely run in bikes for not a heck of a lot more. Certainly anyone willing to spend more then 7 is a bit crazy

I was serious. Someone will be drooling over the opportunity to get this one for $9K. Others, like me, would walk past this thing and not even see it.

There are 250cc ones that will blow me of the road. But does not mean they have appeal for me. A 600 will always, in my books, be a compromise.

Bloody good compromise.

I'd pay between 6 to 8 G birds at the max..

As comparison, something I could consider as a toy would be a Triumph Daytona 675. Same mileage and around same age I should be able to get one for $6K.

Holy fuck! Show me where I can get a 675 for $6k!!! I'd jump at that for a track only bike. Keep the current one for road only.

Personally, I think you'd be hard pressed to find one at that. God, I hope you can though cause I'd start looking.

How much would you lay down for this bike, right now?

$5k but I'm not in the market for one. I'd expect it sell for around $7k if you don't mind waiting or $6k by Sunday (maybe next Sunday).

However I would be looking at that 50,000 km over 6 years and be asking why it,s less than 10,000 km per year. Was there something wrong with the bike that made it not so nice to ride? So if I was considering this bike I'd offer maybe $6K

It's been further than most bikes twice it's age.

[rossirep]

At 50K there should be another 50K in her before something more major is needed .

ya dreaming..!!! iv never seen a good 600cc bike with anywhere near 100ks on the clock, come to think of it iv not seen any good bikes with that sort off high ks. let alone a high reving 600

I've seen a fair few CBR600f4i onwards do that.
I've seen an R6 with over 100k on the clock.
My ZX6 has 74 on the clock, it's perfectly fine.

Christ, 100,000km isn't death on a modern high revving bike, even CBR250s will do more than that when taken care of...

...It's been further than most bikes twice it's age.

Oh? I would have thought 50,000 km in 2 years would be about average.

well with my 22 years of road riding iv not seen anything good with that sort of high ks, not saying they dont do them as my last bike had over 60 with me doing 95% of them but i wouldnt look twice at a bike with 50, as you have no idea what sort of 50 that bike had done.. 1 careful lady owner..??? yeah right..!!! why would you pay for a bike with 50 unless it was dirt cheap , when you could shop around and get a bike with low ks for not much more coin..??

I buy on condition, not KMs. The distance traveled means very little to me. Generally a higher km bike is used with the engine warm more, so a bike doing long runs at 50,000km would be my pick over some thrashed bike with under 20-30,000km.

But, I like people with your way of thinking, it keeps the solid, well kept bikes at good prices for people like me




Seriously, distance traveled on new bikes is not really an issue... You'd have to be naive to think it's the most important thing

Not everyone has the time or money to ride 10,000km a year. When you add the cost up for doing that sort of mileage on a bike like that it gets very expensive.

You should get out more. Mrs H rides a GSF650K6 with 115,000km on its clock, most of which have been put there by her. It runs as well now as it ever has.
