01' f4i price tag..is it worth it?
well after a bunch of ppl told me to not waste my time on a 99zx6r i found an f4i. Its a 2001 with a micron highmount with scratches on it, geared one down in front, manual cam tensioner, new tires, front brakes, and a scratch, rash, hairline cracks, on pretty much every fairing. He told me it was laid down twice. Has a dent on the side of the tank and the front was spraypainted partly. Doesnt look tragic but i could see it up close obviously. Comes with stock pipe, HJC jacket and helmet that show wear. Extra used front tire also. has a clear title and just under 15 k on it. Clutch felt like it just grabbed at the top. Idk it may need a new one but it wasnt horrible. Didnt get too much of a chance to womp on it tho i test drove it in the rain and the tire just spun. Dude wants 3 geez. I dont know why I just dont think its worth it? Am i wrong here? Am I spoiled after riding a new minty bike all these years and not seeing a good deal or what?

clutch letting out at the top is simply adjusting the twist adjuster on it.. 15k kinda sucks, but it's a honda

but if u're buying a bike to stunt, last thing u want is a **** motor. i ride all the time, and probably put 1k on it

^^^^ dat's minty.
here's what you do:
go there w/your buddy and let him/her hold onto $500
tell the guy "man, i've got $2,500 cash money right now"
99% of the time, dude will be ok with that, but if it doesn't work, "borrow" the extra money from the friend you brought with. :YEAH
