What do you guys think about this? I was going to schedule some time to see this one tonight. It's a 2000 ZX7R, being sold by the original owner for $3100. It only has 2700 miles, is completely stock, and is reported to be in excellent condition. I can't decide whether or not I like the black/silver paint scheme--it's much more understated that the typical Kawi green/white models, but that is probably a plus. I'm pushing 40--understated seems to be more appealing the older I get.......Regardless, if the bike turns out to be in great shape, what are your thoughts on this one?

Is that bike located upstate NY?

If so, I tried to grab a similar one when it was listed for $2,500. Not sure if it's the same guy.

Otherwise, I say GRAB IT!!!!! That one looks just as clean if not cleaner than mine.

Nope--It's located in southern Wisconsin. If he's available, I'll check it out tonight. I told myself no more bikes for a while, but this might be cheap and clean enough for me to justify it. It's been a long time since I have owned a Japanese inline........

That's awesome! GRAB IT!

The funny thing is I saw the exact same year/color upstate new york and the guy didn't want to wait for me to come and buy it. I called him Wed and told him I could pick it up on Friday but he ended up selling it on Thurs. I was pissed because it was nice. Low miles too like your prospect.

916WI,

Are you married? My wife LOVES the comfort of the ZX.

I'm going to have to respring the rear shock. It's a little squirmy when I shift my weight.

You can get a new leftover '08 ZX-10R here for $6500, I'd only offer the guy like $2500 at most in this economy.

Well.......any update???

Hey Turbo--thanks for the info on the passenger seat--that is important! We shared a few emails. I guess it was dropped on one side--scratches/chips are reported to be minor and have not been repaired. He says he's firm at $3,100. I think it would be a fair deal, definitely not a great one. He's married with 4 kids and it sounds like the bike just sits. If the panel wasn't messed up I would have gone to see it yesterday. There's not a lot of activity in the used bike market around here with the season wrapping up, so I plan to keep my eye on it--if by some chance he drops the price a couple more hundred, I'll make a move on it. The guy lives on the other side of the city--probably about 15 minutes from my house--so if any of you really want it for the $3100, I'll take my camera and check it out for you. Otherwise I'm just going to wait and see if the price comes down. The color combo has grown on me.....
