    Well, if you look around, you can get a mildly-modded, never-dropped, clean R1 for that price. I'd be looking at $5500 max for a perfect 03 R6 - low miles, never raced, etc. As for mods, you never get your money back on your mods unless the bike is completely insane. Hell, I have about $6K of aftermarket mods on my R1, but I doubt that I would get more than about $6500 for my whole bike. Ultimately though it comes down to how bad you want it. If it's worth the money to you, go ahead and get it. After all, you are the one riding it, so only you have to be happy with it.

    I dont want an R1, Thats to much bike for what I want and need, and I dont feel Id be comfortable on a bike with that much power. A 600 was what I had before and I was always more then happy with the size and power it had.

    As far as m9ods, Its not a insane mod list, He just has a performance exhaust system, upgraded new tires, a few cosmestic upgrades and the frame protectors, Its not a abused or raced bike, And yeah to me its worth the 6k price, But I just was making sure that atleast around a figure thats accurate ya know?

    well then, if you got the cheese to spend...go for it....and you feel that it's the bike thats for you...go for it...

    but I seriously think that there is probably better deals out there....but you do what your instincts tell you.

    and anyone who says they never abused the bike...that's hogwash...all it takes is just a few seconds and you're all over that bitch...

    but in all seriousness brett..

    if it's just a slip on, let's just get a ballpark figure, anywhere from $200-500
    a full exhaust system $500-800
    fender eliminator $200-300 painted
    windscreen $60-80
    flush mount signals $20-100(I've seen them for more, but it's retarded to spend that kind of money on signals)
    frame sliders $40-80

    and tires arent really "mods" you need them to ride.

    like I said though....you can get a R6 for cheaper if you just be patient and do alot of searching some can have more mods, some can have less...

    but it just seems like you are looking for reassurance on it, because sounds like your mind is already made up.

    Mind isnt made up yet, But I do love the bike, and its flawless, and I know him so I know the history of the bike, not many used bikes do you get to know for sure it wasnt abused, dropped, or crazy shit done on it, Thats one reason why I am so inclined to get his. But I do appreciate all the feedback, it helps alot

    I mean...just for instance.....it pisses me off to no end that I find out afterwards...BUT!

    there was a guy here, who just got deployed, and a mutual aquaintance of ours just bought his bike before he got deployed for $5000.

    a 2005 Honda CBR 600RR, with mods out the wazzooo, and the kicker...only 2000miles....

    I mean, there are deals like that all the time, you just gotta find them, because if someone is in a hurry and needs to sell, they will unload quick and cheap....I'm just pissed that I didnt hear about it after it happened...and saw the dude roll up on it and told me how much he paid.
