Buying a Motorcycle

as well as enjoy the weather (aka not roast in my 240z with no AC).

Good luck with that lol. You think a car with no AC makes you sweaty wait until you're on a bike with no roof, wearing a helmet and hopefully some proper PPE and let us know how much less you sweat :D

I sat on an FZ6 this morning and absolutely loved it. It fit far better than the ninja 600 and I could nearly flat foot it.

Well I own an FZ6 now (2007) so this is another bike I can give a nod too :P

My car also has no tints. The greenhouse effect makes it even worse. Also when I first hop into it on a hot day, the car's been sitting there and roasting for hours, whereas the bike would only have a warm seat. The only warmer part would be the helmet, but I'm trying to find something that breathes well.

 

 

 

 

 

What do you guys think about an R6? I found a nice low mileage one at a really nice price.

Enjoy your back problems :lol:

 

Why not pick up an FZ6, it's 95% of the R6 experiments (ESPECIALLY with modded suspension and stuff) but with more usable midrange power, better looks (I like under seat exhausts), and you won't need a chiropractor after every ride :P . Plus the fz6 forum is such a great forum, it's the OCC of motorcycle forums!

They're a buttload more money, that's why I'm asking. :(

How much is a buttload more? Are the R6s really that much cheaper there?? I guess there'd be a lot more around with the nice weather there but it troubles me that they're a LOT cheaper... (beating, stolen, problems etc...)

 

What's your intended or max budget??

There's a couple of them, here's one.

I'm looking to spend about $2,000 but can maybe go to $2,500. 

 

Here's another. I could talk this thing so far down.

Another.

And then here are the FZ6s.

It's a 1998. Should I? I'm tempted.

I'd probably pass since it's likely carbureted, but I know you don't mind that so it's up to you there...though with that in mind many other bikes can come into consideration.

$300 over your budget but says negotiable so I'm sure he'll take $2500 cash. Bit far being in Tampa, but you can rent a small trailer if you don't wanna ride it back. I know its a lot more expensive, but you can't really compare a 98 FZ6 to a 2010 Ninja 650.

 

http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/4422121260.html for $2500 would be sweet. A lot of bike for a first rider, but its something you can keep a long time and grow into.

That's a pretty good deal!

 

Here's a cheap '08 250 Ninja for $1600 (I'm guessing because it looks like it was raced?): http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mcy/4420960647.html
