Can't sell my R6

so ive had my r6 up for sale for the last 2 weeks in hope of gettin a f4i and cant sell it, ive lowered the price 3 times and still nothing. i love everything about the bike except for its bad reputation for a stunt bike. im thinking about just keepin it and throwing a cage on it.... how bad is the r6 for stunting? am i gonna completely jack it up from a couple of spills or is it just not as good as others like the f4i so it gets bagged on? ive read all the other posts but want to know the real durability of the bike.... thanks all

Have you tried www.craigslist.org and/or www.ebay.com? You should have no troble if your price is right.

Re: Can't sell my R6

I would sell it before you stunt it it and it gets all fukced up cause then you will be stuck with it or have to sell it real cheap..

I had a buddy with an 04 R6, he decided he was gonna stunt it, took two or three decent spills and it was busted up, he kept the plastics and **** on after we told him to take that **** off though......motor wise I havent heard bad about em......I would sf'er that ***** and throw a cage on it and hit the lot:YEAH.....a bike is a bike, if your gonna stunt sooner or later your **** is gonna get trashed

At the same time, I would say that if it's not the bike he wants to ride, it would be a bad idea, once he stunts it, it's not going to be worth **** and he's stuck with it.

Re: Can't sell my R6

Well if you're serious about selling it you wouldn't be riding it. And it's only 2weeks.

Re: Can't sell my R6

stunt your r6. I think new r6 are better stunt bikes then f4i. The only thing wrong with them is the sub frame.

ride it, its fine. just make POSITIVE you a)have half a quart extra oil and b)re-rout the breathers OUT of your airbox so it doesnt build up oil.PM me about your cage and bar, our local guy is the ish.

it shows you the Low Retail of
$4,520 ( A low retail unit may have extensive wear and tear. Body parts may have dents and blemishes. The buyer can expect to invest in cosmetic and/or mechanical work. This vehicle should be in safe running order has high mileage,NO mods) and
Average Retail of $5,945 ( An average retail unit should be clean without obvious defects. All rubber and cables should be in good condition. The paint should match and have a good finish. All lights and switches should work properly. The mileage should be within or slightly higher than the average range.)
It seems to me that your $6000 asking price is more than fair even if your mods are weak (no pun intended) with that mileage you ought to be asking for more My advice is be patient with the stunting until you get the f4i (solid bike with many parts, not to mention that this forum has more info about stunting an f4i than any other bike so u'll be getting alot of info in regards to the f4i) and DO NOT STUNT THE R6 because if you do you are likely to drop it and then u'll have to ask for A LOT LESS than $6000. Be patient man 2 weeks is not that long in the market, if you are incapable of waiting you'll likely loose a bunch of money on it because everyone can smell DESPERATION.

Re: Can't sell my R6

awesome bike for stoppies :YEAH i love the brakes on those things. +1 with the oil catch. when your goin to stunt a bike your goin to have probs for the simple reason being that bikes arnt built from factory to do what we do to them. this is why we have crash cages, 12 bars, oil pick ups, aftermarket subframes or just brace the original one e.t.c. i bought my bike band fkn new off the show room floor. told myself, goin to look after this one. BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA as soon as i got into stunting that didnt last long. but the way i look at it. i'm just getting my money's worth lol. stunt what you got dude. make it stuntable so it will hold up better on get out there and practice. my
