well hot damn i have ben looking for a project bike now for 6 months or so. followed up on some leads but the sellers were usually pretty flaky. i think this one is gunna go through however.
its a 1989 FZR600 with newer fzr750 front forks and rear end.
needs some major carb work and probably valves since fzrs tend to eat them.
i think i can work him down to like $600 for the bike.
this is what they look like stock.
and this is what it can look like with the r1 re-body kit which i will be doing immediately.
this is just with the r1/r6 tail. which i kinda liek cuz the old school circle lights i actually like.

Nice bike though. I think it looks too old school for me, but can't go wrong for $600. Enjoy the ride.

GAWD yes. its insane. im in CA and right now its consistantly 95+
i have to drink a TON of water just to stay hydrated because of how much the gear makes me sweat. but my life is worth more to me than a little bit of heat and hassle
and the jacket i have is vented pretty nicely and i wear sunglasses inside my helmet so i can lift the visor to get some breeze in.

dude that is so bad ass. i have been wanting a bike hella bad for awhile. but i just cant see myself spending 9-11k on something like that. i just want it to pick up chicks lol.
if i could find one of them and make it look like an r6 that would be sweet and chicks dont know the difference lol
where would you buy a kit like that????
thanks
you can do it all custom yoruself if you know what your doing.
most ALL of the popular old sport bikes have premade re-body kits. older ninjas gixxers fzrs yzfs etc...

im in california. is he willing to ship?
Not sure if he is willing to ship, but he is asking $4k. He just put $1,500 into it in repairs. Tune up, fork seals, new compter, etc. I believe it is red white and blue.
Shipping would probably be a bit much but from what I hear there aren't very many of these around anymore.

looks like i just came across an even better deal. not in as good of shape as the other bike but is much easier on my pocket book.
$300 for the entire bike. not running but the frame is mostly straight except the swingarm with a dent.

Nice pick-up Nate. I want a bike
thats cool ,wasn't sure of your budget.
Good luck w/ the bike and be safe.

nice bike once you're done with it. Does the r6 tail just bold up? If so I'd put the never one on, the new tails are sick!

no u have to cut up a bit of the rear and then rebolt
and i dont have the BIKE YET
hopefully tho, still working out details with the guy. if i dont get this one, i think im still going ot look for another fzr. i have doen alot of reading on them now and they seem to be excellent bikes that can be converted to lookpretty new for cheap and pretty easily.
i think i read the fzr is what tom cruise rode in top gun.
