I'm going to view this next weekend (if the guy responds to my e-mail) and just wanted to know what I should look out for?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...id=p2759.l1259

Do the RR's have any known faults or things that can go wrong if not maintianed well? I know Yorkie has had real problems with his as a stunt bike, but this is gonna be my roadbike, so shouldn't have much go wrong with it hopefully.

looks alright imo,but tbh i know nothing about them.

only thing that worries me if he'sbolted a load of tack to it, and the different paint job makes me wonder whether its been dropped/abused. (ironic eh)

cheers dudes.

 

Why you selling the f4i if you getting this as a road bike? is your mate with the 6rr still selling it? he came to the spot one time... he wanted £3k for it and it looked fairly minty.... that one seems really expensive for a resprayed up one

 

i've just got a 05 600rr but to be honest i'm new to them as well just getting it ready for stuntin at the mo so sorry i cant help

 

Just been contacted by the seller. He says he'll take 3.3k for it.

seems a lot to me.

that guy who came down isn't selling his anymore, tried him today.

 

Yorkie stunts a 05 600rr and he says it can't stand the pace, im sure he said its had 5 engines and a couple of frames/welded. He mostly uses the f4i.

600RR is my fav supersport though.

 

Well if you look at teach, who to my knowledge has never broken a frame, his bike does pretty well considering the **** he gives it.

 

isnt yorkie, ash? who does like 5 minute long merry go rounds and 12 o clock burnouts? no wonder engine dies??

 

sounds a bit dear and bit odd being sprayed.
not standard colour should lower price i'd look around a bit more mate

 

Yeah, I'm oddly drawn to the colour though. I saw it and was like "I want it!"

May have to let the auction run and if he doesn't get any offers it might be a good bargaining tool to knock some £££ off.

 

its worth no more than 2800

 

So he is not completely inosent then.

 

Dude,dude,...shop around a bit more...9 out of 10 it's trackday bike...or offer him less money if no one bids for it...
Does not look very sincere to me...

 

Qouted for truth! think he taking the **** with the spray job if he says he just sprayed it because he wanted a change of colour id wager its been dropped.

 

Although this wont help you Dave, but I'm drawn to the paint too.
The first pic, with no mirrors would look evil!
But that red bar ends and bits (bar tyre stripes) should knock price down too.

 

i too think the colour is cool but bike looks a bit suspicious in the pics a couple of bolts are missing holding fairing on and no heel guard on the left peg prob just been thrown back together for the pics

 

^ good point

 

about a year ago i had many a email back and forth with teach and beleive me he has broke just about every part of the 600rr and not just once, i would be very scared, might even sell mine yet

 

Don't take any offence to this question,but how do you ride your bike?

Areyouthrowing it into the ground veryoften and bouncing it off the limiter doing burnouts, merry go round etc?

I'mquite gentle when i ridemybike, but I have the occasional good hit. (ask anyone whorode with us sunday) so I'm hoping to have better luck with an rr than you did.

Was it five engines you did? I would have sold it after two.

 

I think the tihng people miss out on and don't take into account, is learning...

Ash, not meaning to offend, but you had the RR when you "started out" whereas dave has been riding on an f4i for ages and can do most tricks now without falling off, so he'd probably be able to stunt a brand new RR without destroying it straight away.

People buy new bikes when they are learning and wonder why they get wrecked so quick.

F4i's are almost indestructable though!!

Personally, as much as I want a new bike, I'd probably just wreck it so im sticking with the f4-indestructable. :YEAH

 

Just found out the bike is a write-off.

HAGGLING TIME!!!!!!
