The ZZR600 shares tons of parts with the prior generation ZX-6, so parts should be everywhere.  I'm talking for the case covers and rearsets.  I don't care about the fairings at all, and that would be the expensive part.

 

What am I NOT thinking of?

it probably has shitty oil changes. god, i hate shitty oil changes.

Well, I think if you can get him down to $500 or $600 it'd be a deal.  A friend of mine recently bought an 07 ZZR in mint for $1800.  So only a thousand bucks less for one that's wrecked isn't too much better.

 

Parts are everywhere though.  If you get him down a little, could be a good fixer upper.

I am always a little wary of buying anything I can't at least see/hear run, let alone test ride, but 10k on that engine is nothing.

And they are tanks. There was an article where a magazine actively tried to kill one. Ran it at the rev limiter for a day straight, the. Drained the oil and kept running it. Still took longer than you would guess to die.

"95" horsepower is plenty for the street, but I know the V7 guys are general of the opinion theat the ZX6/zzr of that era has more power than the F2/F3. A pipe and a tune would probably put 90 to the wheel.

Dirt bars, used stock rear sets, and ride it naked.
