I am casually looking at used FZ6R's with low milage in my area.
I am seeing some as old as 2009, with less than 2,000 miles. Any real difference otehr than paint/plastic?
On some of the 09's it looks like the exhaust is not the same.
Any comments appreciated.
If you can find a Yellow 2009, those were the fastest. Other than that the bike hasn't change since 09 other than plastic colors and hand rail in the later years. Anything unmolested under 10K miles is a good deal. Used usually comes with some goodies already
I am seeing this..... (hope posting the listing is not a vilotaion of the board).
2009 Yamaha Fz6 R, goldens bridge NY - 112861506 - Cycletrader.com
I am also seeing 2012-13's at 4,500-4,900. But I'd have to travel up to 4hrs to get the bikes and deal with dealer prep talk nonsense.
I couuld peal the pink and black decal/graphics from the bike and have a fully white/black bike.
Now if I could just get an email back from the seller
Thanks for the heads up on the tank graphics being under the clearcoat. Have not heard from the white/pink independent seller, BUT did hear from the MD dealer.
Sounds like dealer wants to move the bike. Like if I make him a firm offer, I can make something happen quick. Said he'd end the auction, if we could conclude a deal. Offered me 25% off on any addtl gear I wanted, including givi hard cases. hmmm. decisions, decisions.
Now do I even want to broach the subject with my wife or is it easier to ask for forgiveness than permission! (my caveat when I sold my SV650S, was that I could get another bike, no questions asked, when I was wanting one again). This seems like a decent deal, but a little leary of buying it sight unseen. Would prolly ship the bike form MD to CT with Uship for $240ish.
go for it! wouldn't worry too much about the VIN, it's a dealer, “140 MILES ONLY, 1 OWNER, NO SCRATCHES AND NO DAMAGE.”
I'd certainly feel better before purchase or even deposit taking to them on the phone asking "you say no scratches, are you sure there isn't any minor dings from rocks etc. anywhere?" if they hesitate or say well maybe a slight scratch... tell em you want high res. up close pics to verify.
they prob. use a specific shipper, might be able to work the $ deal w/shipping included. or just uship it as it could be cheaper for you. good luck!
