Hey yall! I have been riding cruisers for the last year and i am about to get my first sports bike. I am stuck between a 06 and 09 600rr and hoped yall could give me some advice.
The 06 only has 2500 miles on it, it was owned by a lady and then was bought by a company to help Honda settle claims against them for wrecked bikes, whatever that means. I am a little concerned about how little miles it has but i am not sure how worried i should be about it. He said they changed the tires and oil/oil filter when the bought it a year ago and since put about 50 miles on it. There is light rash on the rear fairing on both side and a little on the right frame slide and a little on the left fairing, nothing major though. I checked it seemed good to me besides the cosmetic damage, the chain had around two inches of play in it, not sure it that's bad but i cant imagine anything like that being bad with only 2500 miles. He is asking $4350 for it, figure i can talk him down to 4k or less. how does this sound?
The 09 has 16500 miles on it which doesn't concern me at all. says he is the original owner and has done everything himself as far as oil changes and such. He swapped the stock fairing out for aftermarkets, said the old ones had some scratches on them but he does not have them anymore. Not sure if i should worry about not seeing the condition the OEM's were in. Says he maintained meticulously, but i havent been able to see it in person yet. Fairing appear spotless in pictures. He also has a yoshi slipon. He is asking $4800, hoping i could talk him down to $4400. Tires have bout 50% of less life in them/
After a lot of searching these two look the best for me, any opinions on what looks better?
