Good to know there's still good mechanics out there to help us all!

guy in pic #2, nailing the body position!

New fork set would be nice... Certainly at the very least a fork oil and seal change.. on a 13 year old machine, that's going to be ridden hard, yes, why not? Point is, all that will cost extra $$ and might want to be taken into consideration while selling the bike.. but again, like some one...

If it is already track speced out with safety wiring done, forks swapped out or atleast new seals and fresh oil, motor in good condition, fairings in good condition, no signs of rash , perhaps with a set of warmers thrown in.... then yes, 5K for a 13 year old track bike is reasonable( to me)...

Good for her to get on a pedal bike at 85 ! GWS !

If we look at comparable supersports like GSXR 600 and Kawi ZX6r, they are going for way less. As in higher year, with a lower mileage. A 13 year old vehicle, no matter how the condition is, cannot demand a such a price if comparable bikes which are 7 years old + with lower mileage are asking...

how is this bike in this thread?? Should be in the other one!

well.. don't leave us hanging... what was the problem OP??

you'll also have to import in any parts associated with the bike as I guess a Kawi dealership will simply refuse to bring it in as their system will not show part #s associated with an Asian model.

oil change, chain inspection/tensioning , removal of wheels, inspection of break pads, clutch and throttle adjustment is kinda considered basic maintenance that can be done by the operator... it actually shown how to be done in most motorcycle operating manuals. I mean hell, there's a video out...

Going to start going to work from Oshawa to bottom of Black creek drive... I think I'm going to be FCu%$#!

Yamaha R7 should be added to that list..

couch surf the new upcoming( rumoured) CBR 600RR ... Due for sale next year..

I bet Rea will beat me on this, even if I'm on a supersport!

Glad you are ok OP. I'm an ATGATT guy as well, but I've always skipped on the back protector(choosing to just go with the cheapo foam pad provided with the jacket). After hearing your incident, I'll think twice before leaving the house without wearing one.

My bike got stolen and I received cash payout from my insurance company. A few days later, I get a call from my insurance broker saying, the bike was reported as total loss and they need to know whether I'll be buying a new bike or not.. I decided to not buy a bike this year but I'll think...

Model included with the black edition?

The 1st thing Police asked me was if it had a tracker.. I said no... and I could feel the tone of enthusiasm change... So yes, a tracker definitely would have helped.. :(

My bike got stolen 2 days ago! ... got an on the phone report.. hope they find out who stole it ! :(
