Is this a good price for an '01 zx-6r

[ptroy]

HI I am looking at getting a zx6r. I found one in Minnesota, the guy is asking $4,000 but said he would take $3700. It is in good condition never been down. 5500 miles and is in the twin cities area. I was just wondering if that is a good price or if that is what these bikes go for in the area. It seems cheaper then what you can get bikes for where I live in wisconsin.

Yeah, that's a pretty good deal. I'd jump on it if I was looking for a bike. If you can deal with having a yellow bike then go for it.

That's a damn good deal son...****** that up. The colors are cool as well...I miss those loud colors from the 80s and 90s.

dooooo it!!!!

its a very nice price... and I think yellow bikes are sexy!!!!! specially with the black lines in between

Doesn't sound to bad of a deal. NADA lists the Low Retail for $3,065 and Average Retail for $4,030. Kelly Blue Book Lists trade-in at $3,340 and Retail at $4,850.

That averages out to be $3,202 for Low-book and $4,440 for high book. So $3,700 sounds like a good number.

got the bike and it is sweet. Might need a carb synch i notice a little hesitation around 9500 rpm as I am accelerating. Otherwise is sweet. Not a scratch on it.

Congrats to you man and welcome to the family!

alright congrats! im getting the same bike as you soon but made in 05 (cheaper insurance) have you taken the msf course?

[dropdfocus]

Definately congrats on your purchase. Again, welcome to the Kawi club! I'm sure you'll be nothing but happy with the bike. My next purchase will be a sport bike, but until then I'm doing what I can with my old school bike.

If you have not taken the MSF course, do so. It will teach you a lot and it tends to drop the price of your insurance. Different companies have different amounts they'll discount it.

hey thanks for the welcome, i am taking the MSF course in september so by the end of the year I will have my class M license. I was surprised my insurance is only 180 a year for full coverage. I am under my dads policy, so it is under his name but I also am listed as a rider so its kind of nice. I was surprised it is so cheap, I'll have to ask my agent if it drops down even more once I complete the class.
