Pics? What's it need to be street worthy again? Lights?
And yeah, if someone has some facts, that can check on some cars, that would be good. Or couldnt i just call virginia (or WV) DMV to find out, directly? OR do they still charge you?

A little older than I'd like..but it's gorgeous in the pics. Is this vintage gsxr OK too?
- Mike - 04-30-2009
yes, they're ok, but i feel that's overpriced.
- HAULN-SS - 04-30-2009
Well, what would you offer him? I'm going to look at it today I think. Was going to see if he'd take 3500

I'm with mikey, seems kind of pricey, but I always liked the looks of that series, and don't the SRAD models have flatslides?
Mmmm...
I mean, if you like the bike, then just buy it. If it's in your budget and worth it to you, who cares if it's a "good price".
Seems no sportbike from any year is lower than 2500 these days...

05 CBR 600RR for 5k with 9100 miles with a few small mods
- flintster55 - 04-30-2009
Thanks man that helps a lot. He said he added some Seafoam recently to the gas to clean the injectors - Is that normal after winter or could that be trying to remedy a problem? And what you said makes sense about the filter, I'd probably switch that back to stock asap.
- HAULN-SS - 05-01-2009
well, I talked him down to 3k, and told him I'd think about it. I think I'll get it. It does have a pretty good single scratch on the passenger side, but I can live with it.

I dropped off a deposit for the RR tonight. I'll be picking it up Saturday afternoon. What a nice graduation present for myself :lol:

- flintster55 - 05-04-2009

Saw this in my paper today. I didn't know if you were still interested in finding one or if you already had found one but I thought I'd post it up just in case.
Condition: Used
Price: $3,000
Mileage: 9,000
Comments: SUZUKI GSXR 750 '96 9k Mi, Great Shape, Needs Back Tire, $3000 Or Best Offer 540-580-7018
It's in the Roanoke Times
- HAULN-SS - 05-14-2009
Yeah, I actually saw that last week too. I need to call the guy..I am going to be in Roanoke this weekend, I may try to stop by and check it out..thanks for keeping an eye out
- BLINGMW - 05-14-2009
you might have missed this one since the title is so dumb

'01 GSF1200 for $2500? Seems like a really good price if you like the bike at all.... More like a sport touring bike.
And don't let the "1200" scare you... it's got less power than a late model 600. A lot more torque though.
- Kaan - 05-14-2009
ok who has the sack? I do... i just need the money... i need $3k laying around at all times!

DO IT RJ!
- HAULN-SS - 05-26-2009
Chan, i did miss that, you're right..what a dumb seller. I'll keep it in mind...I'm not sure about the style of it, but for the price, i won't dump it out of my mind immediately.
Also, too bad that TL isnt white/blue...i'd have already been all up ons. I havent actually looked too much at those..are they..good?
Other question: I have found a 99 GSXR with like 25k miles on it..you think that's too many? He wants 3500 for it (i messed up by not getting that one i posted earlier that I got the guy down to 3k on..but now it's time to get serious, heh)
- .RJ - 05-26-2009
No, you dont want a TL1000.
- HAULN-SS - 05-26-2009
care to elaborate?
- .RJ - 05-26-2009
google it.
They're unstable, hard to ride, and tempermental - if you've never owned a sportbike before it would be a poor introduction.
