scottie.harris Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 after looking around for awhile i found a 95' ZX7 that has low miles and some other new parts like chain and sprockets. The current owner was telling me how he thinks that the previous owner might have stunted it and i was thinking so from the gas tank top being pushed down and scratched body work. How ever he started it and it runs great with no smoke, runs a little rich but no smoke or oil leak. It will need new tires next year and some body work, but hes willing to accept $1300.any pointers or thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have recently been convinced the Buell Blast is the ideal stunt bike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Do a test ride you gonna need a new tank and a rattle can perhaps. Go for it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 A 1997 ZX7 stunt bike will need more than a tank and some paint to make her a reliable street bike. Factor in a major "tune-up" when deciding to save some money on somebody's flogged ride. I sold a minty 2004 FZ6 for $2400. It needed nothing' date=' and had fresh Michelins. Just sayin'...[/quote']What kinda of a tune up you thinking? cus it runs really smooth so im thinking it doesnt need plugs, wires, ect although im not a mechanic. I dont think it was a true stunt bike, but more a punk who knows how to pop the clutch, but im curious as to why the gas tanks are pushed down on the top? Im kinda looking for a bit of a beater to take to the track so looks isnt much issue for me.IP know anyone whos got a deal going on? i gots $1500 to get tax, title and plates.

rollnhot Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Blast is not only the best stunna' but some Dude told us it'll smoke our litre bikes. You can believe everything you read on the interwebz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Plan on a new clutch at the minimum. I would never buy someones flogged stunt bike unless i had the same intentions, which I never would. I wear my hat straight, like a man.

Bad324 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Plan on a new clutch at the minimum. I would never buy someones flogged stunt bike unless i had the same intentions, which I never would. I wear my hat straight, like a man.I wear my sombrero backwards like a boss The good thing is that he has disclosed some of the issues to you, make sure to look at it very good however.I went to look at a 636 about a month ago with a rebuilt title and low miles for a borderline too good to be true price. It was down the street from my office so I figured why not check it out. The seller was clearly a fan of stunting but represented the bike as never been stunted, no burnouts or racing and the rebuild title was the result of a low speed low slide due to grave at an intersectionLo and behold he had a Starboyz and BS stickers on his helmet, the fork seals were clearly blow out, there was plenty of burnt rubber under the tail and a host of other issues. Boy was he not pleased when I foiled his ruse and called him on it. Morons I tell you, but I should expect nothing less from Massillon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanks were typically caved in on top for a better seat for their butt or to stand on - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) dont buy a used stunt bike unless you plan to stunt it also...for all the money in repair and maintenance you put in it, you will have spent enough for a nicer and newer bikestunt bikes get whooped....heres a friend of mines low mileage 07 gsxrreally? its too new to look that way lol...i wouldnt touch a stunt bike, unless i was looking to stunt it myself Edited December 23, 2011 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi419 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I would not be scared of it. 1300 is ok money on it. This time of year you could find something newer if u look hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
