600cc sports bike less than ?1500?

[Groove]

Contemplating getting a cheaper bike as i cant use mine much due to money

Max i want to spend is £1500, no older than '95. Ive seen a few ZX6rs etc for around this price.

If theres anything going then i have a '02 CBR F Sport up for sale/part exchange

watch this tt600

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-TRIUMPH-TT600-YELLOW-BLACK_W0QQitemZ4649407836QQcategoryZ36093QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

currently £1550 but wont reach £2000

more agile than a thundercat and a newer bike with less miles

power delivery is a bit iffy as standard on a tt600 tho

thundercats are good tho, if not quite as fun and can be got a bit cheaper but for an older bike with more miles

Dont under rate them, they are a very capable bike.

beggers cannot be choosers.

You could get a G model ZX6R for about £1500 if your carefull with your money.

but I dont bet on this happening somehow.

Yes, beggers cannot be choosers Adam I'm afraid.

TT600 is a good idea. Underrated is mainly why they are so cheap. Ok, not as razor sharp as your cbr I bet but I bet you couldn't get the best out of the tt let alone the Cbr.

Thundercat (is going to be a bit of a dog), F&G model zx6r, zxr750, YZF750's, FZR600's (Ok not all are 600, do they HAVE to be)

I'm thinking you're not going to get a good trade-in price if going for a dealer. Best sell private but even then you're gonna lose a fair bit. That's life.

Shouldnt think id loose too much, bought for £3700, most prices seem to be around that on autotrader

i really am liking this if it can be got a little but cheaper. Thing is i put the post code in to a route planner and is actually more 70/80 miles away than biketraders 55...

How much would my bike sell for, 52 plate, generaly tidy, new rear tyre, all round new pads, 23k ish miles, service history up to January i think.

If i could get the zx6r for ~£1800 id be reasonably happy. Im not trying to wipe out the whole loan, just get it down atleast £1k whilst finding a full time job. This time next year ill be a millionaire

Welcome to my other thread: https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=86149



Looking at the prices on there the F's seem to go for atleast £500 less than the others and they generally have higher miles.

(theres a link somwhere in there to bike trader zx6rs within 60 miles of me)

There is a F model down the road from me outside a workshop place (all the bikes outside seem to be "customers" bikes there selling...) for £1300, seems verry tatty, rusty, 32k miles, and has a flat spot at abour 3k or somthing they cant get rid of. Cant remember the point i was trying to make so im going to click submit...

Oh it'll work alright...breakers buy bikes that have been written off...well when I say breakers, some are still "bike shops"....one in particular always sticks out in my mind...think its situated in Swindon...always got a green border round its page...

Cannae mind.

Helpful eh

[Groove]

I am liking the ZXR750's

Around £1500-1750 and seem decent condition

None even close though and i just want to have a quick sit on one to see if its comfy as im only small

About to make a thread in General about them...
