Thanks.

looks all stock, so i assume the guy wasnt a HARD rider, but thats just an assumtion. We payed that (a lil more) for ours that had 13K, a broken front fairing, two scratched fairings, and almost stock. Plus it had a loud tick to it.

I'd like that bike, I also noticed the bike http://lincoln.craigslist.org/mcy/1817254589.html posted up which would be decent.

I'm not in a huge hurry, but that zx6r is decent.

Realize, that R6 is 5 years older, prolly carb'd, and the zx guy may go lower if u take him cash that day

true but why spend 3K plus on a carb'd bike if he is just goin to want a FI bike the following year.i started out on a $800 82 kz550 and once i learned to ride i upgraded the following year.just buy the 6r but dont be a dumbass on it.

Well said, just my opinion. The 6r is a better deal, you won't find many good condition ones for that price.

The only carb'd r6 I ever rode was harder to ride than my efi r6. It had a weird throttle hesitation

Yeah the 6r is a great deal, and is what I want.... But I'm 90% sure its sold.

That was sarcasm.

Yeah the guy who wanted to look at it came out during the day and wanted to look at other ones still.
I'll be calling the bank in the morning, get it all prepped so when i get out there we can get the deal done so no one else can buy it.

Worst case scenario is that I buy it and turn around and sell it.

Just to make this understood, the guy with the 6r jerked me around a lot, not the good kind. Kept wanting to push off the sale date, so I said fuck off.
So picked up this r6

Thanks, I had only road a bike once before, took it to the Northstar parking lot, road around, was doing pretty good, killed it a couple times at the start, then continued to drive it for a good 7 hours around town.

I'm feeling more comfortable... Now to get a license.

The swing arm decals will be removed, and the rim tape will be re-done. I actually like the rim tape on this bike but the guy put it on a little crapy

Sounds good to me, give me a week though, going to take the safety course this next weekend.
Then will get my license, I'm trying not to go cruising around till I get my license, but then again I'll probably call you before then lol.
