i need to upgrade

[Jonan1647545505]

ive been riding around on an 89 gs500 and im ready to move up

its been a great bike, ive fixed a few things on it, and learned to ride.

i rode a friends 98 gsxr600 the other day and i was blown away

the thing i liked the most was the fact that is was sooo much more comfortable and obviously the power increase.

so heres the thing i just started back at college, so im broke again.

i have some cash but not nearly enough to purchase a bike like that, so ideally what would work best for me if i was able to trade plus cash.

there is a 2000 zx6 for sale on CR that would really be perfect for me. its newer, lower miles, and its lowered, im toe'n it on my gs, basically what im looking for.

my bike:

89 gs500

curently 16800 miles, i take little trips everyday

new battery

new front tire

new chain not on yet

upgraded front springs, out of an 04 stiffer than the 89

new fork seals obviously

rebuild carbs @ 16500

choke lever is stuck off, but doesnt need it to start

2 keys

always garage kept

minor rust on frame

i patched the gas tank, had small pin hole leak at a bottom corner

clear coat just starting to come off on tank

the original owner laid it down the day he drove it home in 89 doing 15mph only his pride was scratched. ive dropped it 3 times...always standing still, twice i was in a swale, once on gravel. the gravel drop scuffed up the strator cover plate.

i'll get some pics up tomorrow

 

whats can i expect to get for it?

 

looking for a bike like my friends 98 gsxr600

 

i chose this bike for my first bike i made a good choice. handles nice, light weight, plenty of power for a first bike. let me know if anyone has anything or knows anyone that wants a bike like this.

 

thanks

john

Build your own and save.

Build your own and save.

 

ditto, i just bought an 01 katana 750 at a rediculous price, runs good but needs some body work, but again, it was cheap.

I just did the same thing and saved alot. There pretty simple to work on.

do you have a repair manual for that cbr?

and whats mine really worth?

$500 bucks... and yea piecing a bike together is not a bad idea if you know what your doing.ive bought many some salvage bikes for acouple hundred...put in acouple hundred and had a descent stunt bike. I would never suggest a katana cuz they are slow and heavy as all hell...
