I just went back to page 1 on this thread and saw this. Danny who started this thread hasn't been online since 2012. Crazy.
 
Good idea for a post though. Will help us all remember for the future.

Hmm, I'm looking to buy an r6! (maybe; or the 2013+ zx6r) This is what I'm looking at currently. What do you guys think? R6's are so expensive on kijiji compared to other 600's :(

That is crazy low kms. That's a pretty decent price. No major upgrades from Yamaha over the past several years into the r6 so I think that's a half decent deal. Gotta say I love my baby I'm just convinced it's trying to slowly destroy my body...or very quickly destroy it. I highly recommend a steering damper

It's a tough choice, I'll be upgrading either this winter or next... I just can't decide... On one hand I don't really want to have another full season with just the 250 but on the other hand I don't know how finances will be for the next while as I go through University.
 
I can't imagine paying for an R6 while I went to university. Is more power nice, yes, but not being borrowed up to your eye balls after university is a real benefit. OSAP + school loans can be a tough pull. If you don't have to borrow to buy it, it may be feasible, otherwise wait until you start working. Have you priced out insurance?
 
Insurance on a r6 would go up to 52$/month up from 31$/month that I'm paying for the Ninja 250 now. My first year of tuition was completely covered by my parents RESP and OSAP grants/scholarship money. I have around $5000 now so I'm not sure, might just pull the trigger. Then again in second year, I'll be forced to take loans but I guess that's just normal. Co-op will help for sure

Good deal on insurance, I haven't seen it that low for someone your age. Its a hard choice for sure, good luck.
 
Hmm..
Just think...
If you wouldn't be staying in residence and approximately $8-9K you'd have an R6.... :evil3:
hehehehe...
 
Residence was "only" $6000! Haha, you're right but my parents said they'll cover first year so to me it would have made no difference to me financially if I did residence or not. It's tempting to buy a bigger bike since at the Uni motorcycle parking, everyone has a bigger bike :/
