chevysoldier Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 this one is for 1500 now and he says mechanically sound, what do you think ? Lol " i am like a kid, can't make my mind" Get the fizzer. I like the styling and they are a good, older bike. But I am biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I know "it's a honda," but I have a hard time believing that Magna is worth $2700.the ZX6,on the other hand, seems to be a decent deal. A friend of mine has a track-only '95 ZX6 that still puts out almost 95hp at the wheel, and with an upgraded suspension corners really well too. the only slam on that generation ZX6 is that it's a bit heavier than the Honda's from the same era (F3), so the extra power doesn't really do it all that much faster.

I got used to the speed and power pretty quick. What kind of 250 did you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 That is the super Magna. It has a rare factor that has to be considered. You will never see another one at any function you go to. The Ninja is priced right, just make sure it hasnt had the gut run out of it. Take someone with you that knows bikes well when you look at either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the opposite. 95hp at the wheel probably makes it every bit as quick as a pretty new Yamaha FZ-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If it wasn't a 3 hour round trip for me, I'd go with you to check out the FZR, but that's a ways to go, especially since I have stuff to get done tomorrow.

You will never see another one at any function you go to..i'm surprised there still one runing. the first and second generation magna's have problem oiling upper cylinder heads (cams)...

MidgetTodd Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Out of the 3 you've mentioned the fzr is the best choice, IMO. The price is good it looks great they run forever and parts are still everywhere for them and alot of years interchage with it and it will deffinatly be the strongest and best handleing of the 3.

JSPELLIS Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Wish i could find a deal like that. I have about $1500 at the most to play with. I wrecked my 00 R6 (that i got for $1k) GRR. I found a 94 Cbr 600 F2. i am the same way as Bikerboy. i have no clue about these bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
