cheap sportbike

This is a thought experiment only, I have no garage room or desire for
another bike.

But if I was oging to buy a bike made later than the 1970s, and didn't
want to spend more than say 3 grand, what would I get?

What would be the best bang-for-buck sportbike for that money?

Zebee

 

Yamaha FZ750(85-88) or Yamaha FZR1000T (87-89)

Both very capable machines

IK what did you pay for your new ZX6

95 model ??? 3 grand or something ??

I suspect 3 might be a bit low, I dunno there'd be much worth having
from the 90s for that?

Zebee

 

what would you want to do with it ??

RGV250

 

Agree.

Very underrated bikes, the FZ (I had 2) is also EXTREMELY comfortable
for a weekend away, or interstate ride.

 

92FZR600. For $3K I'll throw in a pink chain.

 

RZ350 or 350LC

And after you pick one up for ~2k you'll have just enough left over to
rebuild the engine........

Hey IK, I keep wanting to e-mail you but it never works, send me some kind
of cryptic e-mail or something. I might be the right one to take the ZX6R
off your hands (since I used to have a 96 myself), or the Spada you've got
up for sale as well. It's a bike buying frenzy i say. e-mail me as
desmo998@hot[dick]mail.com (remove dick for reply) haha!

Ok mate, a little too cryptic. I sent a reply but it still goes to your old
address. Can perhaps you send me something that *actually* works??

Hi Zebee. Sorry about the excesive quotes, but, due to the wonders of
news group propogation...<shrug>

Check out the U.C. website. There is an 1986 RZ350 for sale in
Adelaide. (You wouldn't want to get too modern!)

I was almost tempted to ask you about your contacts there to have a look
on my behalf, but thought better of it. (because I couldn't decide which
bike it would replace.)

It wouldn't be far off in "bang for buck" terms, and, it's very
anti-social too! ;-)

regards,
CrazyCam

 

Would you get an FZR for $3000?

an 87-88 one you would

Daron

 

you can get one for $1000 depend on how good it is though

 

CX650E. Even more Classic than a GPZ900.

I payed 6800 for my 98 zx6r last year (April) I did see a early zx7r (real
early twin head lite type) for 4000 though when I was buying the zx6

You'd have to be very lucky to get a _decent_ GPZ900R for under 3K

An inline four 250 two stroke? I'd like to see _that_

big

 

**** I'll take 2 and lose 50kgs to be able to ride one!

 

Yes IK, theres the Lite model and Heavy model....
