2270$ covers all.
The bike is at DAS terminal in Palm Bay,FL
Here is how it works if you have never used Autotrader.
You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction.Autotrader contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process.You submit the payment to Autotrader, Autotrader confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment.I ship the bike which should be at your door within 5 business days.You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and Autotrader forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and return the bike free of charge.
Basically Autotrader holds your money safe until you confirm that the bike is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal.
On the other hand I can ship the bike knowing Autotrader has your money and you won't dissapear with my bike.
We are both covered.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.

I've seen that one for years... I hope noone actually falls for that shit.

Seriously. they do not suck anymore. I've have ALOT of Kawis and I've ridden alot of other sportbikes and it is true they were not as refined as other bikes till about 2008. The ZX6r is the best 600 IMO (and nearly all of the mags) and now the ZX10r the best 1000. Even the suspension guy told me to upgrade to the 2011 10r because they "finally got the chassis right" when I wanted to get a 2008 R1. He said ithe 2008 R1 t is a heavy POS, that a 2007 would be a much better option if I wanted an R1.

They are very close...but Kawis does not suck any longer, yet still easiest to work on.

I bought the ZX6r because it was 7899 OTD, at least a grand cheaper than any other 600.

And ranked highest by the mags for refinement.

Fuck the 2008 R1. I think you mean 2009+. With an exhaust it almost sounds like a Ducati.

Mudpuppy · 05-06-2011, 09:50 PM

This thread is dead. Lock it down. I picked up an 06 anniversary R1.

Is the 2009 the crossplane bike? Then no..it sucks. Get an 06-08...much more flickable bike.

Mudpuppy · 05-07-2011, 12:30 AM

09, 10 and 11 are the crossplane.. when i was talking to the different dealers their selling point was the fact the 09, 10 and 11 have 3 different acceleration modes - mild, medium and aggressive.. doesn't really appeal to me.. i don't really see much value in it..
