NightRider Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking at a trade. For 89 gsxr 750. Anyone have any experience, or thoughts on them? 112 hp, 57 lbs of torque. 502 or so pounds wet. An 89...would it feel like trying to hump a turtle...or bad324 through turns?

Steve Butters Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 i rode a 91 600 and it wasnt a bad little bike...it was fairly comfortable, but it was slow...the 750 should have a little more kick....it is what it is though, an older bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an 89...that old, would it even be worth it. Technology does wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 if its what you can afford then its better than no bike...i wouldnt go drop 5 grand on the thing lol, but if you can pick it up for like $1200-$1400 depending on condition then it would be an alright little bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 if it has the slingshot carbs it might be worth it...but im thinking those were only on the 90's..that was my first bike '90 750, i had stage 3, k&n bolt on, full yoshi system and a advancer had it dynoed at 127....i loved that bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what i'm looking to trade is 1940-50$. The way it sits, he would probably need to throw in some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big3 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 what's the Intruder worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 is the gsxr in the same condition as your bike? if so - i think a straight trade would be alright...i think your asking price is a bit high on your current bike - but for the condition it appears to be in, i think its fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big3 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) also, if you do decide to trade can you bring the gsxr by here first?another set of eyes doesnt hurthttp://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/2261290646.htmlhttp://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/mcy/2307514131.htmlhttp://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/2280506911.html <--- you can find decent deals on vfrs Edited April 19, 2011 by Big3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't appear to be in bad shape. It's been repainted. Looks similar to Chevy's bike. Flat black almost. I think 2k's more than fair...it's been pretty well maintained. At least what i think? To each their own. also, if you do decide to trade can you bring the gsxr by here first?another set of eyes doesnt hurtI doubt it. He's in Wapakoneta.

2talltim Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 dont know if this matters to you the 89's did not have inverted forks and have a one piece seat and if memory serves me it will only fit a 170 rear tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Not exactly the same, but I had a 1990 Katana 600 for about 4 years. It was carbed, and heavy ( compared to the newer bikes). I enjoyed riding it. It is kinda cool that these 20 year old plus bike still run and look great.Kinda like a motorcycle time capsule.2009 was a rough year money wise for me or else I would still own it. Sold to another member on OR in early 2010. Actually it was one of the pics that appeared on the OR home page when i signed on after dinner today.

Big3 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 personally I'd pass on the GSXR & find a bike that better suits YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looks like it's gonna be a wash. Condition of his bike...not nearly up to par. And now, might need the carbs tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
