F4iguy Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Got offered a 1996 FZR 1000 for about $500. Runs, but needs some work. Haven't seen it in person yet, but am I getting into an ass ache? I want to buy it and flip it (maybe). Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Great bike for the time... of you don’t want to mess with it, let me know, looking for one of these to restore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Canton? I looked at one in canton a few years ago. Was very rough. They're great bikes for the vintage, 5 valve head, reasonably stiff frame and decent suspension. Don't expect to see much on your flip tho, they aren't very sought after from what I've seen, but $500 is good if it doesn't need a bunch of shit. Make sure the motor isn't locked up, a buddy of mine bought one that had a grenaded clutch basket, locked up trans and motor and sold it to some dude who was gonna rebuild. .

F4iguy Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 It's coming out of Cinci. According to my info, it does run. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a good platform to make an OW01 clone.in the day, Yamaha FZR’s were my favorite bike... looks and all. OW01 was unobtanium and FZR1000 is a great platform for a clone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4iguy Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 So long story short, I now have this bike. It is a little more than I thought it would be as far as fixing it up. Putting it up for sale. Would deliver for the right OR member or friend. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/6651764299.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
