don't know fa about it, but it looks well old school, which can be a good look. Good piece of lat 20c biking heritage?

Wow, that thing looks like it has been strip cleaned. Nice to see the rear hugger and chain guard is all in place.

Check the underside of the trailing arm for rust. It can be a pain if not sorted.

Looks very clean and original for an FZR, what year is it?

I paid £1600 for a 94 L reg. However it had no immobilizer or alarm. Plus I get the impression while I thought mine was in good condition your potential buy there from the pics looks superb!

Looks well clean. The "dogs" sticker has got to go. I didn't like the colour scheme at first, but then I looked at it for a bit longer and decided it suits the bike. Thumbs Up

Here's some pics of the gsxr and what he's put in the email to me,

"Looks like a lovely bike and if you like I can advertise it on my Bike Trader web site for £2,995 and see who calls. That way it will help you sell yours and buy mine. Can also do a swap with the following, if you like:
SUZUKI GSX-R600 RW, 2000 W Reg, 11,950 miles, MOT-09-2005. FSH, Garaged, Tax, Alarm, Immobiliser. Very good condition with oval colour matched carbon Micron can, plus original Few scrapes to the fairings, hence price £2,795 "

I can easily clean up the marks with a lick of paint maybe

Don't need anyone to say it's been over on it's right side. Fairing damage and dent in tank (caused by the bars?).

Plastic expensive to repair. How much damge on the inside of those panels? Repaint probably not viable unless do the whole thing.

Mileage about right for a fair weather bike garaged over winter.

That's about all I can help out with Smile

Cheers, didn't notice the dent at first, also check the left hand side, is that a broken crankcase cover or something else?

Been thinking this over.
Looks like the crash bungs may have saved real damage Confused

Can't work out why end can shows no scars. Could it be bike was used on trackday with racing can?

If it was bars hitting tank could there be future problems with headstock/forks?

All this just IMO and not trying to sway you one way or the other.
Appears a good price for a lot of bike.

Yeah thats what I'm worried about, looking at it from both sides, looks like could of slow lowsided then flipped onto the right, brake pedal looks new. The guy said he has original can as well. I've emailed him to find out how damage was caused.
