Look what followed me home! GSXR 600

It is a little rough (much better than most 98s I have see) but it was dirt cheap. Winter project!

Now you just have to learn to ride wearing only flip flops, shorts, bandanna, and clear safety glasses.......

And don't forget to have your bikini clad girlfriend on the back as you do wheelies down the freeway, weaving in and out of traffic.

Edit: all jokes aside, fun looking little bike.

Not sure I will end up keeping it but I will give it shot VS my Hawk in the spring. Whichever gives me more giggles stays. This would be easier to sell though.

Kickin' it semi old school! I dig it. May I ask how cheap? Sub $500?

I like it and would definitely ride one of those. GSXR's got more cool stuff (USD's, FI, radial mount brakes, steering dampers, etc) in the later years, but I still think the earlier SRAD-ish ones like yours look best.

The Hawk would be an easy sell to Swanky.......if you could ever convince him to quit being ghey with the miatae.....

Nice congrats

See, what we need here is a "I'm looking for a..." thread. If we get enough folks reading that it'll compound the ability to use the internet. That way when you see someone with a Honda 175 available locally, it might ring a bell that you saw someone looking for it in the "I'm looking for a..." thread. Anyone agree?

It wasn't quite that cheap, clutch. I did alright on it though. The guy threw in a decent rear stand with it too.

Also, just got off the phone with Revzilla and my shorts and flip flops (DC of course) are on their way along with my squid helmet (it actually has tentacles).

This?

Getting better:

Ahh..yes:

The last one needs to come with a Squid Launcher, ala Despicable Me...

Eventually I'll be on the lookout for a Triumph TT600

Anybody see any on their local CL's?

Hope you're near the last one...

That last one in Knox is my local CL. I can check it out if need be.

All too much for what I'm looking to pay.

I wish I had bout the one local with a blown engine for $500

How did this turn into a triumph discussion? Not that I mind but it was kind of left field

Blame stroker.......

And because all triumph 600's need literbike powerplants.

My bad... Lemme know if you get bored with the GSXR and want to sell cheap. :)

This one would be sold for street value in the spring if it doesn't stay around the fleet.

I'm a huge fan of the SRADs. Yes, the later GSXRs had FI, USDs, etc, but the parts list are open. A lot of GSXR parts swap.

Zuke's are all legos.....the 600/750/1000 all used the same design and cases for years.

Gixxer 600 is just such a sweet spot. Enjoy.

In reply to pinchvalve:

Not the new ones.....they're so non-violent that its almost depressing to ride one. At least the comparable R6 and 636 Kawa remind you that they are actually peaky little bastards by doing top end power wheelies.
