The bike has the following:
Frame Sliders
LE body Kit
Fender Eliminator with integrated Turn signals
Yoshimura Tri-Oval Muffler.
Bike looks like 9 out 10 in looks, very clean.

you should be able to find a newer one with less mileage for the same price. The miles are not a problem if he did the maint. and has a reciept for the work
Exhausts and other stuff on the bike are expensive to buy but will bring very little at resale the important part is if the seller has the original parts. If he has the stock parts then he did not wreck and replace the stuff. you will want to stick with a 600 for insurance reasons. call on that before you buy you may be very surprised

Uh yeah that's too much to pay. I bought an '01 GSX-R600 with like 12K miles on it in great condition with a Yoshi pipe for $4,500. Then i sold it for $5,000. I guess it all depends who's selling and who's buying. Then I got an '04 with only 1,600 miles on it and paid $5000. Resold it to a dealer awhile later for $5350.
Anyways, good choice by on a bike by the way. I loved my gixxers. I rode a new Yamaha 1000 tho that was really great too. I'd go with one of those makes if I were you (Suzuki or Yamaha)

Well it does matter what condition it is in and the aftermarket parts. But assuming that its an 8 out of 10. it should go for something like 4500. but make sure that it has a good chain, front fork seals, and tires. because those are the main things to check.
new tires = $60-110 a piece another $30 mount and balanced
chain = $100
seals = $20...$100 or so to get installed
Hope this helps and Good Luck!

Not really. Sportbikes can last quite a long time providing you take care of them and don't wreck. There is a guy on cbrforum.com who has 80,000+ on his 2004 F4i, says he has never had a problem with it. There is another guy there who claims to have had a gsxr 750 with 170,000ish at the time he sold the bike. 5300 seems very high for a 2001 gsxr 600... but of course it depends on the bike and what kind of shape it is in.

I know it is a big Internet out there so I don't know where you are shopping but a small bike dealer near where I live here in Southern California has a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja 500 with 400 miles on it for sale for $3900 and it will go faster than I can ride.. an I been riding since before they invented the wheel.

yeah Luis, that sounds high on the price. If you aren't familiar with the market on used bikes,ask a buddy to look around for ya.Check the local trader & want adds. Used bikes are kinda like used wives. Depends on how it was maintained and rode. Good Luck
