They are all very clean; little to no cosmetic damage.


I feel guilty that I just sold my 1997 Honda CBR F3 and I am in the process of getting a ZX6R Six "Dirty" Six. But please I could use some advice! I LOVE Honda but I have always wanted a 636. And it is not like I am going to leave this beautiful forum (unless you kick me out).

The last bike is a GSXR so if I get lynched I understand. But it looks like a superb deal!

So which one should I pick? I can get all of them for $4,000 (the $4,500 636 is willing to go down). I could really use your advice and wisdom in this matter.



BTW how do I tell if the 2nd bike is actually a FULL Two Brothers Exhaust System? The 1st one is simply a slip on but how will I know if the 2nd one is the real deal? Any sure signs?


Currently, I have only seen the 2nd bike. The chrome rims and the dual Two Brothers under-tail exhaust is extremely alluring. I am going to try and look at the GSXR soon. The 1st ZX6R is a long drive away (about 2 hours) from where I live, so it might take me sometime to get there.


Which bike is of more value and what would you do?
I was going to buy a Tribal Orange Honda CBR 600RR that had 4,000 miles for $4,000...BUT THE OWNER IS NOT RELISTING FML

Big thanks in advance!

Which one attracts you the most? Personally I think if it was my choice, number 2 would be the one I went with... The bike looks well taken care of.

I'm assuming your paying cash? Like his post says, cash in hand is the word of the day, i'd offer 3,600 and see what he does.

id go with the second one as well that one seems the best for the price with the mods, the gsxr is an awesome bike but is looks bone stock, def take the zx-6r for the price.

I like the 2 kawi's...I am not really a fan of GSXR's but I do like that color on the that one. I think #2 has my vote though, it looks like its in great condition!

im a really big fan of the new gixxers but you said youve always wanted a 636 so youd probably be happiest with that. I vote the second one also. And as far as the exhaust goes just ask im sure they wouldnt lie. You could always take a look at the headers to see for yourself too

If that GSXR was that orange color they have i'd vote that, but its that same damn generic blue they ALL have.

I like option 2 the best. It looks very clean / well taken care of. I'd offer cash and see what happens!

Hey thanks guys I love you~

I checked out the 1st ZX6R and it is not as well taken care of as the 2nd ZX6R. I like the GSXR but I can't resist a black 636. So I will probably go with the 2nd ZX6R.

Thanks again to the brotherhood!
