I am going to be purchasing a 2002 yamaha r6. I was just wondering if this was a good deal. The guy imj purchasing it from is a good friend i just wanted to get the numbers down.

Here goes, Its a 2002 r6 it has 9k miles on it. Its been repainted, dumped once with very minor damage to the pipe and tank. It has frame sliders a larger rear sprocket, brand new dunlop tires with only a few miles on them. The bike is in fair condition. The exhaust on it was $1300, I forget the brand name but i know thats how much it was. I beleive he wants 4600 and hes throwing in a $400 aria helmet. Just wondering what all of you thought.

I know its not a quad question but i didnt know where else to ask.

 

dont buy a bike from a freind because it will only lead to you guys not being freinds

 

Sounds a little high, 4 grand would be closer.

 

just wondering whats insurance on one of those bad boys run a guy a month???

 

Depends on alot of things. My 03 R6 ran me 230/year for full coverage State Farm ( clean record, married, house etc...) Progressive wanted 2600/year. Now for my 05 R1 it runs me 242/year, Progressive = 3500/year. Do some checking before buying any kind of a sportbike

 

What about 22 and a clean record I bet that gets a little higher maybe I will wait a few years. Not as much as a thought it would be though.

 

with my record i would be payin over 300 a month!!! for a 600 and im only 19 so that kinda shot down that idea. so i gotta stick to 4wheels and playin in the mud for now.

 

Thanks for the advice ill try and talk him down.

Fortunitly he is gunna be nice enough to keep the insurance in his name so itll only cost me 48 bucks a month i believe.

 

if ur buying something from a friend, always make sure he is not ripping u off because friends have the urgeto do that to u because they think u will not get mad at them.

 

it also has aftermarket turn signals (there carbon fiber) and an aftermarket plate mount.
