Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Hey all i am new to these forums.. got the link from someone in ocau.mc .. or oroadsports i forget but anyways, i just got a 5k loan and am selling my gixxer.. there is a 97' ZX6R 34000km 6 months rego for $5k pic here http://happyant.no-ip.org/rightr.jpg advertised and i am thinking about doing the MISSION to sydney to buy it and ride it back.. i have never ridden a kawa before and there are none to test ride in my town..
So what do you guys think is it a decent deal for $5k ? and what are your views on the 97 kawa zx6r

Thanks in advance for your replys

Welcome JJ good to see you are coming over to the "Green Side"

Looking at Redbook prices are

National average price - private sale* $7,000 - $8,300

Sounds like a good deal if its in good condition, the only thing I could see in the pic is a little bit of fairing damage on the RHS.

But at 5k if thats all there is sounds alright.

yeah i noticed that too i will ask him about it when i call him up

My younger bro has that model - it's got over 80,000km on it and still going strong.

As with all bikes, they'll last for ages as long as they are looked after.

I'd definately get help from someone who knows what to look for when purchasing any bike tho.

Also, by the look of the can, the black paint has done the same as on his and peeled off... He buffed his too.

my 1st newish bke was a 99 zx6r..i thought it was farkin tops..the bike in
the pic looks ok, if its mech A1 & str8, no signs of damage or motor nearly
fuked, id b goin for it, tho it was an early one (started the zx6r in 94 if
im not wrong) they have a name for building good,reliable bikes..

JJ Welcome abaord Now get a Kwika, .....
c'mon I'm waiting young man ......
You got it yet .....
I'll ring your father at work if you dont do what your told ....
Sheesh oh well , thats done it now. I'm picking the phone up.

Seriously sounds good just check out Master Yoda's lets get a Lemon post somewhere on this forum, n go Fruit picking. Could get an apple but i think it may have a little soft bruise.
Cheers Brett

i have no idea what your talking about with the fruit but thanks

can you please explain

Lemon => dodgy buy...

yeh i know what a lemon is.. are you saying this bike is a lemon?

welcome jj, m8 i have a 96 zx6r & defineatly cant complain, i havnt had it that long tho.print out 1 of these & take with u. http://www.krsc-au.com/html/bike_inspection.html alot of it is common sense, but if u follow it from top 2 bottom, by the time u get 2 the end you've been over the bike thoroughly. sounds about the right money. Do a revs check 2 see if the bike is encumbered. also check with the rta that it is not a statutory write off or repairable writeoff. Do ur homework & GO HARD SON!
Cheers
chris

Welcome to the forum JJ. As for the bike, it looks like a decent deal to me. That is if the bike is cosmetically and mechanically sound. I love the colour scheme on the 97 ZX6R. That fairing damage you might wanna inspect a bit because it might be more than rash, there could be some costly cracks in there.

Hope you jump on the kwakka boat. Good thing you got rid of that spewzuki!

lol thanks guys.. i will check it out properly.. i havnt sold the "spewzuki" yet.. its still spluttering along
