i think you should do it.

Jeffrey is going to think that I am. I've got nothing by time to waste to make someone else waste time.
- HAULN-SS - 04-03-2009
Well, I'm on about email 10 with Jeffrey (or Jackson, is what i have been calling him). I told thim that I just realized, sure enough< I am going to be in OH a lot the next month or so., heh.

Hrmm. It doesnt look too bad..but man, I am wary of non-stock paintjobs for some reason. Is that justified? I am going to be in roanoke Sunday..maybe I can stop and take a look at it.
- BLINGMW - 04-06-2009
yeah I'm guessing the tail's been replaced....
I dunno, if the rest is factory, maybe the guy has a story about it falling off a kickstand or something that checks out. If there is some other light damage then you should be able to tell if it went down at 40 MPH or 0 MPH, what else was replaced and why.
- HAULN-SS - 04-06-2009
Man, I never realized til I started looking, that you can modify a bike to look just as terrible as any ricer that gets modified and looks like ass.
- HAULN-SS - 04-27-2009
Ehhh...ehh??

I forgot to ask, as well..what doy ou guys think of Triumphs? I have seen a few of the 600TTs in person, and I pretty well like the way they look..but I just have never known anyone who had one.
- .RJ - 04-27-2009
Triumphs are ok, just make sure that you can get parts for them - may want to have a talk with the dealer in Winchester and ask what they think about their reliability.

Seems like you like GSXRs with almost every color possible on them :lol:
If it was me I'd get a F3 CBR since you seem to want a 600 at least and they can be had for pretty cheap.
- HAULN-SS - 04-27-2009
haha..well, the first one, I thinK I'd definitely powdercoat the wheels another color (white probably). It seems to be hard as shit to find those stock ones that were white/blue with white rims. =(
- stevegula - 04-27-2009
if someone here has carfax, I can give you the VIN to my track bike and see if it's possible to be titled again in the state of VA. Which I would then sell to you cheap and you can make it street worthy again.
- flintster55 - 04-27-2009
Sorry to thread jack, but I was hoping some of you guys (Jayray) could tell me what you think of this deal.

05 CBR 600RR for 5k with 9100 miles with a few small mods
- .RJ - 04-28-2009
Thats a pretty good buy.

that vintage 600rr is not very well-liked, though. i can't remember the specifics, but i do know the seat was an absolute joke. just my .02.
- Kaan - 04-28-2009
That seat is the most uncomfortable motorcycle seat i've ever sat on!

Mike Wrote:that vintage 600rr is not very well-liked, though
By who? Seems like a good bike to me. The 05-06 bike got a few updates over the 03-04 RR.
- flintster55 - 04-28-2009
Cool I'm probably going to go look at it Saturday. Anything in particular I need to check for besides the obvious bodywork, etc? Is doing a compression test overkill?
- .RJ - 04-28-2009
Compression test is probably overkill, yes, and getting to the plugs will probably take some time and bodywork removal.
Look for signs of crashing not on the bodywork - brackets, clips, etc that can get damaged but not easily seen behind new plastic. Check the tires (negotiate $$ for a new set) and condition of chain and sprockets.
