1990 FZR600...good deal or no?

Wifey has got the motorcycle bug after being around me for too long and wants a bike to learn on. A quick Craigslist search came up with this one...what do you think?

I had an FZR as my 1st bike. NOT recommended at all.

If she's got a level head on her shoulders and isnt a total nutcase, it'l be fine. Those FZRs are freakin tough machines to kill/hurt really. I rather like that about em.

Not too racy, thats a friggin tank.

It does crash well though

Its just really a heavy bitch to muscle around especially for a 1st bike, IMO

What?

An FZR600?

You either have this confused with another bike or you are a smurf of some sort. An FZR600 is a wee thing of wee weight.

Ninjakel · 06-09-2009, 03:17 PM

call me a smurf, when i had that bike, I was about 105-110 pounds

FZR600's were the SV650 of it's day way back when.

That's a good first bike if it's a decent runner (at that price). Will probably need a lot of TLC due to it's age which will be a good experience for someone new.
