    Need some advice on a possible buy

    (Apologies if this is in the wrong section, not sure where it belonged)

    Hi guys and gals, I have been inactive since I had to sell my bike last summer to buy a car, but have been looking around lately on craigslist for a cheap 600 to cruise around on.

    I know that most of the people on this board know a lot more than I do about bikes, so here is the ad I have been looking at most recently - Suzuki Katana 1991 GSX600 for sale . It has been a while but this seems a bit low to me, any help would be appreciated. Thanks! =)

    Looks like a good deal to me. As with all older bikes, check and see if the fork seals and/or rear shock are leaking, look for oil leaks, and take it for a ride to make sure it performs ok. The Katanas ran air cooled Suzuki GSXR motors, which are known for being quite tough.

    For the asking price, it looks like a good deal. Just be cautius of hidden time bombs that wil cost you a lot in the near future.

    Wow... less miles and cheaper than the bike I bought.

    You're looking for a cheap 600, and I would say that fits the bill. (So long as there aren't any major issues...)

    Good luck!

    You have first dibs on it, but let me know if you decide to walk away. My buddy is looking for his first bike and this is perfect.

    Thanks for the tips guys, sounds like I better jump on it quick if I want it. Talked to the seller and everything seems to be in order (title, etc.), gonna see if I can check it out tomorrow (Tuesday) after work. I'll let everyone know how it goes if I hear back.
