That seems sketchy. Like too good to be true. He could ask 6 or 7 and probably get close

Dammit dude!!!

I want that!

It’s like my scrambler 1200, but with street only tires… and about 50 more hp?!?

How’s aprilias 1200 shit on Triumphs 1200 so easily?

I need to buy that






Edit:at least the YouTube vids of that GPR exhaust sound horrible. Termi Monster 1100 it is not

And only one photo, I wonder what's wrong with the other side of the bike

Holy shit, really? For a 17 year old bike?

I've always said the "modern" era bikes (basically 2004+) would hold value until the superbike started to look different. I feel like we hit the next wave in like 2018+ with hollow tail fins, TC, adjustable suspension, and ABS being the norm. Maybe my view was wrong.

Basically, everyone wants and will pay for a bike that looks like it could have rolled off the showroom yesterday. From 2004-2018 that was more or less the case. In my mind, that has changed.

Maybe my viewpoint is just wrong.

So you have your excuse to not buy it. Maybe the exhaust sounds better in person? Chain drive to the cams instead of belts to replace, that's a plus right there over Ducati. Besides, you never see these on the street, how cool is that? The only one on the block etc.

Maybe I’m wrong too, but 2006+ gixxer sixxers seem to have stalled at $6,000+

The R6 was compact and light and a screamer, and that Yamaha racing blue is always a winner. I would pay $5,000 no problem for that.

It’s like… you might be surprised… but if $3,000 for a 17yo race replica seems surprising, what would my favorite bike, a 2002 zx-9r run me?

If an R6 is $3,000, 17yo, that what’s a 20yo cbr600f4i worth? Under 3?

Then when you think about the Japanese reliable technology, in the package… proven engine, sporting package, street legal components… what’s that really worth to you?

No my excuse not to but it is I have an ‘18 Street Bob and a ‘22 Scrambler 1200XE that I should probably sell one before any other additions.

To me, an F4i is almost worthless compared to r6. But a first gen 2003 CBR600 is worth just as much as an r6. Its the single seat on the f4i that makes it not look like a modern sport bike that kills value.
My view could be way off from market, but the way I have thought about it is that everyone wants their bike to look cool, and the f4i just doesn't by comparison.
