I finally got a bike. A wrecked 2002 R6 from an insurance auction. Don't be afraid of the pics. Just needs a little bit of work. Sorry Josh, don't think I'll be gettin your bike.

 

how much do you pay at an auction for something like that?

 

nvm i see it's an fmf
looks decent... and if it doesn't work out u can always part it out and put the engine in a quad...

 

Not very much comparatively. Depending on year, size, and damage, they can go from 2000 to 3000. I'm not going to say how much exactly I paid, but it was about as much as I paid for my 96 warrior.

 

nice.my ninja 636 will b in 1 of those soon,bastards claimed it totaled
blown motor but the body was perfect along with a shitload of new aftermarket parts they wouldnt let me have

 

Damn that sucks. next time keep receipts of that stuff and tell your agent. they'll up your premium a little bit but it'll be worth it.

 

its already set up for the lot...well almost

throw a bar, a cage, and some gearing on her....oh and and dent the tank....:YEAH

 

Nah I prefer minty.

Since this thread has restarted, I need y'alls opinion. As you can see the bike is red from the factory. All of the plastics I bought are blue. I can't decide which color to paint it now.

 

Red :YEAH

 

Flat black of course. $.97 at Home Depot

 

**** yes

 

OK it seems like red is unanimous. Too many blue bikes of all brands around. I think I will also peel the stickers off and do the same design but paint the graphics black with maybe a blue or purple pearl. So it'll still be along the lines of the stock scheme with a personal touch.

 

y not do soemthing crazy like primer flat black or maybe like just covered in stickers... i think that'd be cool

 

I'm building it to resell probably. So something fairly respectable is prefered.

 

its $.99 here...

 

^^^ what a rip....

i can get flat black in a rattle can for $.50
