03 600 F4i - $5000
Stabilizer, comfy new seat (cause we all know the stock seat can get a bit rough), slip on Yosh pipes, clean but 15000 miles.
Also some scratches on the ferring - right side, some scuff marks as well. Own says he has never crashed it. Looks like a hard core rider.

Buy or Wait for something better.

Also looking into brand new 07 CBR 600 RR -- now that's nice but don't think I can afford it now.
Your thoughts.

 

The average retail price for an F4i is about $4700. The price isn't that bad for the beginning of the season but it has a lot of miles (relativly). I would look for something with lower miles. There are a couple F4is going for around 5k that have less than 10K miles. I would try to haggle him down. Also, check for better bikes, I'm sure they are out there.

 

thats a bit too high for the mileage, look around you can get with under 5k or that price

 

you know...he's due for some good maitenance (valve check/adjust if necessary) soon...

 

Good input from all. Well I offered him $4600 for it. Said he'll think about it and let me know. He came down to $4800 but I decided to hold my ground. If it was meant to be I'll be cruising again soon. If not, move on to the next seller.

By the way I'm in El Paso and there's no riding season - they ride all year round which is probably why he has 15K on the bike. Said he rides it to work everyday.
