I sold my sv650 earlier this year and since then have looked around for something to ride around and clean up.

I found an 08 zx6r which apparently has been stunted a bit and has a bunch of broken plastics, missing relays (dash wont show any mileage/rev/etc.) but overall seems healthy, although the forks didn't give much went pushed up against and the triple tree main bearing was beat to shit (screw driver+hammer method it seems).

This is what the bike looks like:

The current owner is asking $2500 and it has 15k miles. The question is, should I pick it up, knowing that 636 are pretty sweet.
I have doubts/bad about the following:
- Forks bent?: the broken plastics seem to be very close to the front wheel - could be bad plastic alignment and couldn't tell visually
- cluster out: This means I can't verify mileage but seems like it would be simple to fix
- Missing engine bolts: The thing has a stunt cage, and at some point an engine bolt was removed (different engine?)
- Triple tree bearings: Obviously these were beaten to shit and will need to be replaced
- bunch of plastics missing: beyond the usual fairings, seat side covers, tail side covers, etc.

The good:
- some sort of dirtuy bars
- Aftermarket exhaust
- Engine cage

Should I pick this up??? I wanna ride and I figured I can add an extra $500 to clean it up and still have a descent bike.
It was started and sounded good - Not sure what noise the engine is suppose to make (coming from sv), but it seemed healthy.

Fighters, Help me get back on 2 wheels!

pick it up, keep it stunt. and make wheelies!!!

 

[DrJellyFingers]

also not 636...

 

[TeckniX]

yea changed it to zx6r - Just afraid of having to dump a bunch of $$ in it to make it worth ride it.
But I was looking for something to practice wheelies.

And would you pay the asking price?

 

[DrJellyFingers]

asking price is on point. as long as forks arent bent and runs good, id pay that without haggling.

 

[MikeGyver]

Looks good for the price. Are the frame and wheels powered or painted?

Always lowball mate . The downsides are a good downpricing argument! +anything with mesed up plastics is usualy not real desirable to most sqwids we on the other hand consider that a PRO!:robssmilie:

Exactly my thought, the guy was even like "I don't like fighters" - I was like I do, so this would be perfect but didn't want to be too excited and wasn't sure about the forks, due to how mangled the triple tree nuts were.
aka these guys:

Could be nothing though, we'll see tomorrow.

GL hope it works out good for you:thumbsup:

I'm a noob here but a long time stunter , I'd snap that up if it was in the uk just for parts alone , but if u want a nice bike I wouldn't risk it , you don't know till you take it to bits , I've cracked frames , engine mounts , suspension is always shot and bearings , warped discs from hi speed stoppies , and my looms are always chopped , but then again the guy might be rich got it new and can't stunt proply then you've a bargain ask him if he has any vids so you can see how good and the level of abuse it's had

mehh Someone picked it up :doh:
Should've been less chicken shit about the stuff that was wrong. Oh well.

Or you could've bought it and found all your worries were true. There will be others.
