Would you pay $1000 for this???
 
i bough this xj600 for $1000. it ran funny so i offered 1k for it... they didnt know why.

turns out the fuel pump was on backwards, i fixed it and now it runs like a champ.

it has a header, and vance and hines muffler. its really loud and pretty slow... i think it has about 60hp... which is only 10 more than my quad...

but its fun to ride and gets 60mpg and i won't have to spend so much $ driving my car everyday to work, and also the saved miles on my car...

the guy put a ex500 (ninja) front end on it for the dual disc brakes... so obviously the front fairing doesn't fit right, but its ok...

the front fairing was a really dull black, and the fender was bright ass white... so i sanded it down and painted them both semi-flat black and it looks 1mill times better...

leeann already smoked me in the camaro... but its fun to ride and handles well, and stops really well also... it sounds like a superbike but it moves like a honda.

I like the naked look on bikes. But for 1000 I'd look around and see what I could sell to buy that.

yes i have, and it barely does anything, compared to my 400 honda with no windshield. i about flew off the bike when a semi went past on that pos.

this thing cruises at 65-70mph very nice with hardly any windage and throttle.

i like it a lot.

Re: Would you pay $1000 for this???
 
Yeah I liked my widshield on my old ninja to. when you have to ride far the wind hitting you gets old. Good deal I would have bought it to.

But I thought your car gets 60mpg+? Are you trying to say the bike gets better mpg than your car? :S

J-SMITH69 06-03-2007 11:36 PM

Re: Would you pay $1000 for this???

how bigs your guys tanks? arnt they pretty big like 16gallons or some ---- that doesnt sound right. must be a lot smaller if your only getting 300miles from a tank

i can't imagine what its like with out a windshield....atleast on my f2 i could kinda tuck my fat ass down, but when i sat up is when i caught alot of wind

WTF 06-04-2007 12:52 AM

Re: Would you pay $1000 for this???
 
i dont know about 1k for that.. i think maybe u can make it look cooler tho get rid of the plastics

or at least that front fairing, then it would look cool

its always funny too see guys "tucked" on the freeway. my buddy has a SV1000 that he took the windshield/farings of and he says it isnt that bad without it.

Re: Would you pay $1000 for this???
 
i had all of my fairings off for a while when i was painting it and it wasnt bad riding w/o it. i would sit up till 100mph, anything after that i was tucked

Tom-Guy 06-04-2007 06:38 AM

Re: Would you pay $1000 for this???
 
That's considered a good deal? Slow as death, rip in the seat, and obviously mistreated by the idiots who owned it previously?
