Would you pay $850..

[ChickOn2]

For a non-running CBR 600? A 99 with 23K miles and a clear title, but seller says it needs a new fuel pump and a battery.

I'm sure this is a no-brainer for the great minds of OR, so please leave your brain droppings on this thread:)

If that is actually all it needs then yea for sure... Honda motors will run forever

[wrillo]

yes

as long as thats all it really needs and is in average or better cosmetic condition

[twisted12]

to me $850 really isnt a big risk

[Vulcan_Rider]

Only if you can verify that those are the only 2 problems

[ChickOn2]

yes

as long as thats all it really needs and is in average or better cosmetic condition

I would call the cosmetic condition "average" for its age. A few scratches here and there. The plastics are in OHKAY condition.

My biggest concern is the tires. The seller has a 15-month-old son, and hasn't actually ridden the bike since she found out she was in a state of knock-uppage, so.. what's that, a couple years since the tires have been warmed up? And I don't know dry rot when I see it.

$850 isn't THAT big a chunk of change. Why not?

[cbrjess0815]

You shouldnt have a problem finding a cheap set of street tires.. I might even have a set

[ChickOn2]

@Jess... have I told you lately that I heart you?

I'm just not trying to inherit a money pit and have to transport it home to a repair shop AND wait for repairs to take place...

But another poster had a good point, $850 ain't the end of the world

[RVTPilot]

Fuel pump, tires and battery + $850 for a '99? If I had it, I'd swing it. All told you're probably looking at $1200 or so. Not a bad deal.

Worse case, you could part it out and make a profit. I'd jump on it.

I'd rock it...

bring a battery with you, and a can of starting fluid...

you should be able to get it to fire by spraying ether into the throttle body...if that's all that's wrong with it...

[ChickOn2]

Excellent advice, sir.. and thank you!!

Contrary to what SOME PEOPLE might think, I know what a battery is, and I kinda even know where it goes! So THERE.
