zachhern1 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 today I was up looking at some bikes and I came across a 2006 gsxr600 that had 8k on it. it was is good shape also except for a cracked plastic as if someone pushed it over. they were asking 5k for it tax, tag, and title included. I'm really thinking about it but is 8000 miles for a bike a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOmpressor Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) That's under 170 miles a month so yeah that's not high at all. I have friends that drive 200+ a week Maintinence and records make it easy to keep track of the care and condition.

Ford302Redneck Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah 5k is a little much. Unless it has a lot of aftermarket parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachhern1 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 ya I'd love to get a new one but I'm only 19 and have 0 credit..that's why I can't get a new 1. even if i got the bike I was looking at I'd have to pay it off before I could even take it from the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmamtower Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i cant even find an 04 (when the good body style came into play) for under 4 grand and lowish miles.. im trying to find a christmas present for myself lol Quote apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

micah_jones Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 OP, do you have a bike right now? I would HIGHLY suggest not starting on a 600cc superbike. That is just asking to get yourself killed.

98crewcab Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 here they come...the dont do it or you'll die posts. Ride what you want. I started on a 1000, had 3 of them. now ride a busa (1300) Think a 600 "someone called a superbike!!!" is plenty small enough to learn on. if you are going to hurt yourself on that....stay in a cage!!!(car) Miles sound great. my 06 has 11,000 miles and I am a fair weather rider only!!! lol. At 8,000 its ready for a tuneup, a chain, and some looking over, but nothing big. good luck with your purchase and when your ready to ride, just allow more than enough of a cushion till you get the feel on it. overconfidence is where you'll get hurt.

So you are saying it is fine to start on basically a street legal race bike, and the chances of wrecking arent outrageously high? One bump can cause you to blip the throttle unintentionally and that bike will be flipping over, even at higher speeds those bikes have enough power to flip if you dont know what you are doing. I would suggest going one or two riding seasons on a much less powerful bike(Ninja 250, or a 500 at most IMO) just to learn how to ride correctly. Everyone thinks they can just jump on a superbike and go 160 mph and take turns going 100. No, its not that easy.
