new toy...
« on: 22 June 2013, 09:28:17 pm »
Had the gen1 for many years now and by far the best alrounder I have ever owned. By miles.

But I have an itch..... I used to swap bikes every few months, almost never made it a full year untll the fazer.

So I brought a clapt out gsx600f played with it a bit, got it through a mot and had fun doing it. But it never floated my boat. So that is being sold and ......

Say hello to my new project salvage LOL
A 1998 ZX6r very poor state of repair so plan is mot or if that looks to costly then track bike. (the original plan for the Gsx600f but it wasn't up to it)

Will post pics once I get out to look at it in daylight.

If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.

Missing lots of odds and sods, was a project that got started then shelved (as many do) so everything was stripped off then promptly list lol

So far I noticed lots of bolts, brackets, hangers and rubbers missing
C&S need replacing, New tyres, electics in a mess, only has 1 indicator, seats don't stay on as the fittings are missing, exhaust is a gutted race pipe that sets off alarms 5 miles away and stamped not for road use. Fairing has lots of cracks splits and chunks taken out. New battery needed and has a charging problem.

That's just what I found in the first 10 mins LOL
Nothing major as such but lots of small stuff so perfect for me to tinker with on my very limited skills

Pictures make it look so nice LOL. That's why I brought it unseen ..... I like to gamble LOL
