oh and the gears are up 2 in the back (45), and stayed the same in the front. this helps the low end torque but lowers the top speed right?

yeah but who needs a huge top end? noone. its all about that low end torque.. oh yeah i was way wrong, for some reason i had the hp of my friends 750, not our 600rrs... but yeah stock hp is like 108 or so.

i say no brainer, go for the less miles! trade it before he changes his mind! the other bike is way tighter with the exhaust and the solor scheme and the mods but those dont add up to 29000 miles... go for it and never look back

how much do engine rebuilds usually cost for these bikes. doing the labor myself. i am acertified engine builder. but like i said, im new to bikes.

the extra 1500 with the extra mods makes me lean towards it. also, the bike just looks much better. hes bringing it by thrusday so i can check it out up close.

well... the limited addition black and silver is tight, ill give you that. and with an extra 1500 your going towards your engine rebuild, but i dont know still. for a rebuild, it wouldnt be too hard if you know what your doing with engines. get a manual and i would go at it man. go to your local honda dealer and see how much it would be to order a brand new engine and tranny... then go from there. it all depends onthe cost of that and how willing youare to spend a week nonstop rebuilding

Rebuild it? Why? There really is no need, unless the engine is blown. Ride it untill itblows. Use the $1500 for mods

Use it for gear first, mods aren't THAT important.
