i am lookin into gettin a bike in a lil while, i been lookin at yamaha r6, and gsxr600, i am gettin a 600 for insurance reasons, anyways, how many miles should a bike have one it 2000-2003 models, like how long does a bike last???

 

There is no set limit. A stunted bike will be beat, but they can still last if they are taken care of. Hondas last the longest, gixxers fall apart but they make good power. Yamahas dont stunt as well so I wouldnt buy one, IMO. good luck!

 

15k on my R6 and yes they are not good stunt bikes but it can be done!!
p.s. mines falling apart LOL

 

i know theres no set limit on miles, but when is a bike considered old, i know a car is like 100, 000, i just dont wanna buy a bike thats on it last leg

 

I sell lots of bikes- up here in NY 10,000 is considered alot. But I'm sure in Florida everyone has that many. I've had my own bikes well into the 30's (all hondas) so I think if they are cared for they can last forever, By the way my high mileage bikes were beat to hell and never blew up. Buy a honda!

 

Honda is the only way to go. My 900 has 41000 miles. My ZX6 needed a new motor after 2800 miles. You do the math. Good luck

 

Papa Kevs F4i has to be up around 23-24,000. It runs as good as the 1st day he bought it.

 

Nothing over 5000-8000 miles on a 1000 of any kind and no more than 20,000 on a 600. I think these are a good rule of thumb if you are looking for something that will last. Always buy from a squid or an adult and your bike should be pretty un malested.

 

Ide shoot for less then 7K on the Odom.

Ide take the R6 over the 600 for a stunt bike anyday, and im a gsxr rider.

 

ok so i've decide to go with honda, and im lookin for less than 6k miles, but which bike is better for stuntin the 600rr, or 600f4i???? i know the rr is faster but......

 

Your ZX6 blew up after 2800 miles, lol. My buddies has 42,000 miles and never had a problem. It all depends on how it's rode, the bike, and how it's maintained. My gixxer 600 was good for 18,000 stunt miles. I'd go with the F4i, because there are more parts for it.

 

I've got 17,000 miles on my R6 and it still runs great. How it looks is a different story...

 

with the RR ..if you decide to add a scrape bar what does the subframe look like for bolting 1 up. Never looked into it.

 

no no no no do not get the 600rr if you are going to be stunting it dont get it it has has a plastic gas tank and plastic =BOOM!!!!!!! if you bail im not sure how tough the plastic is but i know its not as tought as metal just my .2 cents

 

FWIW I think the plastic tank is just a cover.....I think its metal underneath....NO?

 

dang i never noticed the tank ill have to check it out, but about the 12 bar, thats the only bad thing i've herd, you cant to 12 without messin up the exhaust, and i heard the front suspensoin is not to great for stuntin, i will be stuntin alot, or tryin anyways

 

I bought an 01 Gixxer 1000 in May with 4500 miles on it. I just turned 11,500... so I've put 7,000 miles on it 4 months. I do my shared of wheelies, but I don't quite "stunt" it.

It's holding together just fine. I'll let you know at 20K too.

 

it all depends on how bad you beat the shiot out of your bike my first zx6 motor i got over 50,000 miles out of it another i got 2,000 out of it my 900 had 30,000 and my 929 now has 20,000 all depends what your doing on the bike

 

1999 zx6r got 46k on it. still riding and stunnin it.
