727Designs Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Nice bike! How's this..: Black 97 CBR 600F3 with blue accents (rims, ring around gas cap, and grips) with 58,xxx miles. Daily rider and very dependable, not slow at all. Only problem is scrape on right side from being layed down but not all way up the side, only one plastic cracked. Not too tough of a fix. Title in hand. I knocked him down to $1500. I do realize that's a lot of miles.. Hmm Thats ALOT of miles. Sure my bike ran over 4K for a 95, but it had less than 6K miles on it and all the records, single owner... but 58K!!! No way man. Couldnt give it to me. ...You obviously don't know your old CBR's. Those bikes where designed to run for hundreds of thousands of miles. If it was taken care of I wouldn't hesitate to hop on it for a nice long trip. Also you said 600's seem wimpy to you? You're ZX7R has 108hp at the crank stock, and is 452lbs dry. A 2006 ZX6R is 114hp (Some specs even say 130hp for the Canadian models) at the crank, and 401 lbs dry. So 6 more hp, and 50 less lbs. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan2427 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I don't know why people always say its horrible to start on a 600 sportsbike, the first bike I ever rode was an 07 or 08 Aprilia RSV1000 no prior experience and had a few mods, you just gotta respect the power they have and get comfortable with the bike. 2003 GMC Yukon Denali Alpine CDA 117 Redoing Mids/Highs 4 Runs of 1/0 Knukonceptz 2+, 2- 4 Deka 9A31's in back (Stock underhood) 250 amp Alt.

Eventually comfort will lead to bravery is the main thing. It's more or less the thought that at some point every beginner will get brave and try to go a little too fast into a turn, or accelerate too hard coming out, etc and a smaller/weaker bike is alot more forgiving in these instances. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan2427 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 That's true I guess. People that ride bikes should know that the power to weight ratio on these newer bikes (1000cc) are more than most lambos, Porsches, etc. And that they can do over 100+ in first gear and get there very fast. The main thing is to respect the bike, and they always its not if you go down its when you go down. 2003 GMC Yukon Denali Alpine CDA 117 Redoing Mids/Highs 4 Runs of 1/0 Knukonceptz 2+, 2- 4 Deka 9A31's in back (Stock underhood) 250 amp Alt.

TLEJ Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'm really not worried about having the fastest bike in the game. Or even a powerful one for all that matter. It's just not time for me yet. I just want a nice looking sports bike, that I can use for short transportation. I do like the fast ones, but it's just not for me right now. The tough thing is, I've only got $2000 to spend on one. I've been looking for the bikes you guys have listed, but here in SC there's nothing but CBRs and GSXRs.. EDIT: I'm checking other Craigslists, and it's honestly a joke at the prices I'm seeing.. I wish I had some of theses around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the ATL craigslist, I'm serious. You can find a buddy to bring you for the right bike. I'd try to come up with another grand or so and get a good SV650. Hard to beat, you can buy a newer one for $3,000-$3,500 and they are just awesome all around bikes. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLEJ Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'm looking into this SV650.. Looks like a great bike.. Perfect for what I need.. I really am just wishing for a CBR.. I have a passion for Honda's even if it's a bike.. If I find a SV650 that can be brought to me, I'd def. do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I would suggest going to a motor cycle store that sells various brands.... each bike has its own personality and you should get a bike that fits you... you might not like a GSXR CBR or the SV650, you should just go sit on a few different ones to see what fits you best.. then once you are done seeing which one fits you best, look for that specific bike... The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
