I bought the 1989 Ninja 600R in Shrives’ sig for $1200. I was supposed to sell it for $1100 but zoomzoom26 screwed me with some “I only have $1000” bullshit. I 'd have told him to stuff it but I was getting another bike and didn’t feel like taking two bikes home in the ranger.

You can find one for that price if you look around. 600Rs, fzr’s, early zx-6, ninja 250s and 500s. You won’t get anything fancy but you should be able to find something to cart you around.

I bought it from a guy up in Mexico, NY in Aug or Sept 2003. He claimed that he was the second owner and I was the third. I think it had around 9000 miles at the time.

I want to see more pics of it. What did you do with the exhaust? Part of why I sold it was the exhaust system was done and I didn’t want to spend the money for a new one.

if you have $1600, bring $1000 of that to any motorcycle dealer, say you want to put a grand down on any bike, finance $2k from Kawi, and walk out with a new ninja, I did that but walked out with an R1…
