He says it has upside down GSXR forks? I got some bad vibes and a sick feeling in my stomach about it. I had the money in my hand and I just couldn't do it. I think I'm going to hold off for a good deal on a newer, FI bike with lower miles. The price on these bikes these days are hard to pass up though. I could start collecting these things at this rate. I found a 93 Fireblade 900rr , 95 ZX750 and a 97 GSXR650 all for $2500 or less each. They're all dinosaurs though.

Looks like I might have to take a drive to Vegas. 2006 CBR600RR with 9k miles for $4995. I might be headed to Vegas in a few weeks anyways. Might have to pick up a new bike while I'm there. It's hard to find decent deals in this little shithole town.

lol, 25k on a bike is not very much its just that people don't ride very much, My cb750 has over 32k on it, its rough because it hasn't been that well taken care of and is 27 years old but runs decent, my intruder has around 17k on it runs perfect but its also been taken care of( I bought it with 4k on it), my sv650 only has 12k on it so far but it has 0 issues what so ever, a fellow co worker has a 04 dyna with 34k+ miles on it and it looks and runs like new, hell goldwings easily reach over 300,000 miles. If the bike has been poorly maintained and has had the ---- beat out of it, thats a lot of miles, based on the fact a young guy owned it and it has a cracked fairing its more than likely been beat on and dropped, go back and offer him $1500 hold onto it till spring and throw it on ebay than collect a profit.

See, that tells me something. How many miles on it?

25k seems like alot to me, especially on a bike that was built to be beat on.

I should hope a Goldthing can hit 300K miles, it's got a EW/D-series variant in it.

About:

We wrote this website after searching for a place that provided reviews on XNA / Xbox live community games, but it did not exits. We found about about the XNA game studio when we entered in a contest called Dream Build Play with a mini 3d game called Alien Recyclers. Now, we hope to start building a database of similiar games for xbox 360 with downloadable gamecc links. Please contact me at any time using the form below.
