OK OK, it's gotta go - CHEAP FZS600 for sale

[Bracechenko]

Yep, my trusty old FZS600 is currently gathering dust in my garage and any grand plans of keeping it as a track bike or some sort of project bike are just not going to happen and I need the space so i'm flogging it cheap.

The details: -

1999 FZS600 in black
74k
Taxed until April 2014
Needs an MOT - Allowed it to expire as I now commute on a SV650 instead. I got lazy basically.

Good bits

Bombproof engine
Gearbox perfect
Brakes still sharp
Heated grips
fuel can
Motad exhaust system
Scottoiler

Bad bits

badly pitted forks
3 out of 8 exhaust studs snapped
Numerous marks and scuffs
Tatty engine paint, badly flaking
rear suspension shagged

The bike has been used as a winter commuter but has been loved and looked after where it needed to be. I don't have time or space to do anything with it anymore so it's got to go. It starts on the button and still has a strong heart, could be used as a winter hack for many years to come.

£495 ono - do your worst

Would you take £300 for it cheif?

No sorry, £300 is too low and it's worth more than that. It's a working bike, I just stopped riding it.

Just cleaning the bike making her presentable and couldn't resist just running her up and down the street. Gonna be sad to see her go, engine still purring beautifully

[Bracechenko]

I must be nuts, she's a beauty. Poor girl, for some life in her yet and know I'm gonna miss her. Too late now add must sell but we've had good times

[red98]

that is a cheap bike........FIZZY snap it up before someone else does

The only thing stopping me from going for this is the problem of where to keep it - but have been known to worry about these things after the deed is done!

It is ridiculous, i've had so many people after the bike. I expect it to be gone this evening. Definately could have got about £650+ I reckon.

Still, it's a steal of a bargain but it's served it's purpose and does mean i'll have the space and be £450 richer. That'll cover new tyres and C&S that I need for my SV650 and may even have some beer money left.

Seriously keep the FZS600 and sell the SV :p

I know, I know. In reality, the SV has 13k miles, is 7 years newer and has a lot more life left in it. It's not as much fun or as good a bike but it's only my commuter and I had a bargain on that too.

I'm doing a track day tomorrow on my FZ1 so i've still got 1 Fazer to make me smile

[Bracechenko]

It's gone

The guy is Polish and he's taking it back to Poland with him. Less salt on the road I bet!

£450...thats a real bargain...iam upto 5 bikes now and running out of room or i would have had that,hope you have money left for that beer
