Hey there!

This is my first post on here, and I was wondering how reliable these bikes are? I have been looking around to get a first bike and I came across a 94 CBR 600. The guy lives about 45 min from me.

Here is his discription....1994 Honda CBR600,Good condition 16,000 miles, recent tune up, new sparks plugs and new battery. Two Bros exhaust $3,200 or reasonable offer. $3200



Would offering him 2500 be lowballin him to much? Does this seem like a decent price?

Sorry about all of the questions I just would rather ask some guys and gals that have been around/ own one or two who knows lol....


Thanks a ton!

how did it ride?

 

I haven't seen it in person yet, I just found it online tonight. I sent the guy a email and if he doesn't respond by tomorrow night I will give him a call. I wil prolly have one of my buddies that knows a little more about bikes than I. Just your usual checks on it, clutch slipping, ride it hard to make sure no weird noises or it jumping out of gear. I will prolly go see it this weekend.

 

I would definately take it for a spin first, you never know what you are buying especially if you havent seen it in person. If the guy refuses to let you take it for a ride or even start it up, then tell the guy to &%@# himself.

 

Do you have any riding experiance? If not then NO. if you grew up around motorcycles and dirtbikes then maybe. i would say 25 is a fair offer but then again mine was a steal with 7200 miles for only two thousand in great shape (same year)

 

$3200 sounds high to me. I'd start at around $2200-2500 if everything checks out good. Check the tires really good.Check how much back tire is left and also look at the edges of the tread as well. It may give you a clue as to how it was ridden before. Also see if he has service records for it. Good luck.

 

$2500 is a good offer. I have heard people say to start off on something like a Ninja 250...but I think that's crap. I think it's a great first bike if you're not an idiot.

 

I have driven dirtbikes, grew up on 4 wheelers and snowmobiles, I have a 330 rwhp Camaro. I know these things have power. I think anyone can start on a 1000 if they respect the bike. I dont plan on driving this thing like an idiot, I know my limits and how to respect it.

On another note, the guy emailed me back, sent me a different picture. Looks very clean, going to have my buddy come with me and drive it for me on acount that I dont have my license and he will know if somethings wrong with it before I will. What else should I have him look out for?

Thanks!

 

And a girl owns it....

 

in that case...go for it
