Hey all, I've been around for a while just lurkin. I've been looking for a first bike and I think I've found it!! There's a guy selling a 1997 Kawasaki ZX6E with 10,000 miles for 1700. It's in pristine condition, except it was down on the drivers side so the fairing is scraped. Other than that thought it's clean. All stock with recent oil change. Man im psyched!! :crazy: Clean title too! Anybody know how these ride? I'm gonna check it out wednesday and if it works out I'm probably gonna buy it!

I think you will be happy with it. Its a little on the touring side but mostly sport. That's a decent price also.

Those are solid bikes, a decent choice for beginners too. Take a friend with you who really knows bikes and have him look it over.

Read the beginners guide to buying used bikes too.

I have some pics but I don't know how to post them.(I know there's a tutorial somewhere but I've got homework out the wazzoo...no time) Anybody care to help? I'm going to check it out tomorrow!!! Only damage to it is a scraped fairing and scraped muffler on left side. I think the shifters are still fine too. It looks like it was the guys baby though, perfect paint and really really clean chain, swingarm, wheels, and aftermarket blue headlight. I'll def. post pics thought if somebody will help me out!

Thanks for the link. Here's some pics:

Picked her up tonight. Had a buddy ride it back for me because I'm not up to ridin 2 hours straight in 20 degree weather at night. Needless to say but buddy saved my ass!lol

More pics to come, these are from the previous owner.

I fixed you post so pics would show. You used the link button instead of image button.

Bike looks good.:dthumb:
Is your buddy with the green Kaw a member here?:scratch:

Thanks jeeps! No, actually that green bike is the previous owner's other bike. My buddy has a 92 Katana:lol: (Hopefully a 04 R1 soon though) Anyhoo, it's a blast to drive, I got some miles on her today. Man does she pull! I just can't get over the power! I've ridden bikes, but not one's as fast as this. Actually that brings up another question, my motor seems to be a little off. My powerband REALLY kicks in at 7k but at around 10 or 11 the power really seems to fall off. I don't think it's supposed to be that way and I might take it in for a tune up. How much can I expect for a good tune up? Like carbs, throttle adjust, stuff like that.

Thats about how my 92 GSXR 750 is. Power really kicks in around 7k then levels off at 12k till th3 13,500 redline.
