Cat C ZX6R G1

[meduk2009]

I am looking at buying a 1998 ZX6r G1 but it's a cat c bike,
it's been fully repaired and is absolutely mint not a mark on it with low miles and frame looks good it was written of in 2002 and has had 3 owners since

does anybody have any idea of what it's worth?

I was thinking £900 to £1000

any help would be appreciated

[Mr.Everready]

The cheapest G model on Autotrader is £1600. If it's in as good condition as you say then it'll be worth more than £1000, if you can get it for that then well done.

I have no issue with Cat C, my car has been Cat C twice .

I think someone in the insurance biz told me they are typically worth 20% less, if you can get it for a grand then snap his hands off!

I wouldn't touch a Cat anything with a pole. Once a bike has been that badly smashed there's no knowing what hidden damage, stresses, cracks and whatnot have been inflicted, waiting to fully reveal themselves at 150mph.

It was written off 8 years ago, I should imagine any problems from the crash would have surfaced by now. That said, it must have been a pretty bad smash to total loss such a new bike

I'd always look to buy a Cat C or D when I can. The same bike for much less. That bike should be about £1100.

Bikes are given Cat C status for anything as simple as a broken front fairing stay or bent forks. Easy enough to repair and easy enough to get inspected by those in the know if you were worried.
