CAT C Kwak 636?

Seen an 05 636 thats shit hot and only done 20k with full service history.

It is a CAT C, apparently cosmetic damage. It has obviously been repaired with new panels, looks brand new and rides as if its never been crashed. HPI check thingy says it happened in 2008.

Seller's asking £3000 for it. Seen a few older models going for around the same price so not sure if its a bad deal.

What do you think?

Ask what the damage was, then inspect that area carefully, take fairing panels off if you have too. If it was fine I'd buy it. Thumbs Up

I gave my 05 plate away to a mate as I would have thought I would only have got a couple grand for it, 3k seems a bit high to me.

Way over priced IMO

Look at this one:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-Kawasaki-ZX6R-636cc-Green-/200708842865?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2ebb2de571

2006. 4800 miles and only 1 owner.

You would get that for £3250 all day long. Thumbs Up

Cat C means it was a write off, It will ALWAYS be a write off on the DVLA database.

Three GRAND for a write off?

No way!

Offer 1500 cash, to sober the seller up a bit, then look for a clean low mileage bike, you can get one hell of a lot of bike for THREE GRAND.

If you have three grand burning a hole in your pocket...

You could drop into a main dealer and see what deals they have on brand new bikes.

DrDonnyBrago · World Chat Champion Joined: 03 Jan 2010 Karma :

The first bike is worth considerably more than £1500.

New sports bikes cost considerably more than £3000.

I have a strong suspicion that you are an idiot.

A 05, written off bike is not even worth 1500 quid.

It's scrap, really. The insurance company has already paid out for it.

And if the OP has a bike to trade in, (a fair assumption) she could almost certainly get a brand new bike at a HUGE discount.

Even if the bike was A 05 minter wouldn't be worth 3,000 pounds.

This is an advert from piston heads selling a cat c, with 5,ooo less miles.

He's asking £2,400 for it.

Thanks guys, this will help a lot.

The seller is asking £2999 for a Cat C 05 zx6r with 19,700miles, Yoshimura exhaust, R&G Crash bungs, tail tidy unit as well with FSH. But you have shown me some nice bikes for cheaper or that one with the 06 plate for £3500 Smile

To play devils advicate, if the bike looks and runs fine and is mechanichily sound its a bit of an arse that a black and white print on some worthless paper will drop the price a hell of a lot, no? I mean heaven forbid your bike gets written off as cat c and the damage was cosmetic and nothing else what a bastard it would be to sell because of some DVLA print stigma...

I dont know it just makes me wonder whats the point of it all if theres nothing wrong with the bike. But as they say "its a buyers market" so I will have plenty of fun exploiting this or buying a nice yello K4 gsxr...ooh gets me wet! Wink

Hi BikerGirlonGirl

The problem is that the bike has been crashed.

You have no way of knowing what has happened to the bike, for example, has the engine been running while the bike was on its side, starving the bearings of oil? or is there cracks in the frame under the fairings, where you can't see them? could it be that the front end is from another bike, maybe a different model?

I have bought and sold dozens of written off cars, and believe me, you will need to be very VERY weary indeed when you buy a write off.

The general rule is that you should pay roughly HALF the going rate for a repaired Cat C vehicle. And expect to GET half the going rate when you come to sell.
