Hold out and get the 05...

Slipper Clutch
Slighlty less Rock hard suspension
Smoother lines etc...

My opinion only...

As a dealer I bet they only paid about $9K for it - offer them $9,500 and see how you go

i reckon the 05 would be well worth the extra cash.
and they look better

Re the dealer, heard nothing good and plenty not so good about their service dept, the sales dept is I guess like all sales departments.

Arent they the same dealer as the one steph got her bike from.

Dunno, bloke I know that had a ZZR1100 went there recently to get a roadworthy on his bike prior to selling it and was advised he had to get the main bearings fixed in the rear wheel prior to sale.

He has been bringing the bike there for 2 years plus for regular servicing etc and according to the receipt had that done the service prior to him bring it in for the roadworthy.

When one of the managers rocked up and asked him why he was there, sad bloke advised is bringing the bike in for a r/w and advised manager what the story was, manager then questions mechanic to say didn't you do that last time the bike was in?

End story no bearings needed to be replaced and he got the r/w no drama, smells of dodgy brothers to me. Heard other people say not much good about them either.

Yes.. it is... good lot, nice people... and yes you can talk them down...

I own an 03/04 ZX6R... They are an awesome bike, and definitely worth the money...

By the way, I talked them down 1.5 grand.... So you can probably do the same.... Just go in there with "This is all the money I have... You can either take it... or I will go somewhere else"...

P.s. the link didnt work...

[hidepenny]

the link didn't work? WT#?

i went there tried to do the search again, even the ads was gone, damn, who bought this damn thing since i posted it here?

i was there for 2 months and just today "gone"?????

[swabio-ACT]

get the '05 you wont regret it! I think they are advertised @14990 ride away here in canberra

[mick_dundee]

Link is workign fine for me.

[mick_dundee]

Humm perhapos not, now the link points to a 2000 model and at Spot on rather than Floyd Parkes.

Think the 2005 is a better road bike and a little more user friendly, what extras do you get on the 04 like can and damper/pc3/ohlins etc or just a bog stock item.

How long till your allowed to ride it because there will be plenty more second hand bikes available in the next 12 months or so.

[hidepenny]

there's just very few 2003+ zx6r available on the market for some reasons, i don't knwo if the sales were bad in those years or what, however when i compared the equlivent bikes from honda and yamaha, they have plenty more options.

[chameleon]

At that price, an extra 2 grand is nothing compared to the full warrenty you get and the "knowing" that no one has
flogged your bike. I'd save the extra, or prostitute my wife "if I had one"
