2010 zx6r for $10k?

[300weatherby]

For all the tards without experience or first hand knowledge spoofing on about porky, fat, ect ect Busas.

On my Gen 1 06 Busa, with a little fooling around setting up STANDARD suspension, I have done 44's on Ruapuna for shits and giggles, was it hard work? yes, not fun and fast like any of my racebikes, but: there will be few if any, keyboard warriors on KB that could punt their 600 whatever and get even close to that (dedicated racers with practical Busa experience excluded) . As a laptime it is slow, but it was for shits and giggles, and if I took it seriously I could knock some off that, but it wasn't the point.

Do not base your opinion on seeing unskilled posers, or unwilling to fang it JUST for you to see riders, or people who only want to cruise it. There are sensible limits to how fast most are willing to ride in the real world anyway

If you have never riden a Busa, and put it through it's paces in twisty stuff, you have no right to comment negatively on the Mighty Hayabusa. If you have, and still need to bag the Busa, you will be shit at setting a bike up and be a shit rider to boot, and no doubt every bike you have ever had will have been lacking, while you of course, are just MAJESTIC in your AWESOMENESS.

No special shock needed, no special linkages needed, no clever triple clamps, learn the technique you bike requires first.

How the fuck did this conversation become about busas?

A very narrow minded point of view. Go for a test ride and have your life changed.
I was dead set on a r1 when I upgraded. Had 2 FZR's before that, 1000cc and a 250cc. Decided to try a busa and the idea of owning a R1 was out the window.
Anyone that says you can't corner a busa needs to ride one or learn to ride properly.

They still don't handle like a 600cc sports bike

Looks like I hit a nerve

Crasherfromwayback will flog most of us on an 883, which does not handle like a 600cc sports bike.
A Hayabusa does not handle like a 600cc sports bike either.

Yes, nuts ay! Can never understand when someone asks for info about a specific bike some retard raves on about their latest wet dream instead.

Far out, 2 pages and one sensible answer on what I was asking advice on WTF? Anythig else to consider 600cc 10k 2010ish?

The usual. GSXR600, R6 and CBR600RR. You can search for reviews here to get a rough idea on the individual bikes. If that doesn't help you narrow it down, then go and test ride them all and see what you like the most. Another thing to note, is make sure you check the frame to find out the actual model year rather than looking on the vehicle license label, certificate of registration etc which is often hopelessly inaccurate since sports bikes can change a lot between the model years and the NZTA muppets can't even get the manufactured year right a lot of the time (like on my GSXR).

Yip, the one i looking at is advertised as a 2012 and it only a 2010, same bike though. Thanks for your help

There was an 883 race series in Aussie, looked like fun, qualifies as a Bears bike too.

Exactly. The OP was interested in a 600 sprotbike. Not a 'Busa, or a Harley, or a 1200GS, or a CRF400, or any of the other hundreds of bikes on tardme.

As Smokey said.
I enjoy how the Kawasakis ride, they always tend to have very balliststic feeling motors
For the money, however, I would just buy a 675 Daytona, or street triple (worth trying, huge fun.)

Confucius say

Fool like sound of own voice so much,he doesn't hear answers to own quesstions

[caspernz]

About to buy a 2010 zx6r first registered in 2012 done 6000kms. Is 10k a good market price for this? Seams the best bike for kms and year I can find

For my thinking that is a fair ballpark number, it's all about the variables that you can see. Tyres, servicing, how has it been looked after in general, paintwork tidy and original etc? Low mileage suggests it's been a weekend toy, so should look pristine.
In the end, buy the bike that you yourself feel good about. In a year or three you'll be doing the same thing again...

As for the Busa comments made by others, I've had a few bikes, and now own a 2013 ABS Busa. Nothing like a 600cc sporty of course, but heck the Busa will corner quite nicely thank you very much. Stock standard, suspension set to my liking, decent tyres...all them Yanks on the Busa forums are dead set on modifying the hell out of bikes that don't need it...

[Mattr]

Yip, fair comments. Everything is origional and was used as a commuter for the one year its been on the road. Super tidy with very slight mark or two. Im sure I will put heaps more on it. Tyres are origionals and are flat so will prob change them for a used race set. Pick it up tonight in the wind and rain
