Early 90s FZR?

Howdy ya'll, I have been riding about a year, and right now Im on an 89 ZX-10. For those that dont know much about this model, it weighs about 600 pounds and parts dont exist for it.

I would love to learn some simple stunts, a wheelie here, maybe a stoppy if I ever concor my fear of smashing my own skull. The ZX-10 will do a wheelie sometimes if I ask it REALLY nice and I dont have any confidence. I also drop it in parking lots because its so heavy, and Im a light kid.

Im ready to get rid of her. My requirments for the new bike are simple.

Must be able to wheelie
Must have frame sliders available for it
and must not wiegh 600 pounds.

The FZR 600 showed up a few times on criegslist in my $1500 price range. What do you guys think?

Thanks, and be safe.

NO! The 89' will be a 'hurricane' pretty much the "F1" of the F series for Honda. they are heavy bikes! I'd keep an eye out for a cheap F4i! I had the chance to get an 02' with COD title for 1200 a week ago. Not good for the streets but will wreck the lots!
