    Question going to check out an 09 zx6r have some questions.

    So just like it says, I'm going to check out an 09 in a few hours. The bike only has 900 miles on it so I'm not anticipating much wear. I will be checking it thoroughly none the less though. Now I know how to check all the normal stuff. Suspension, bearings, wear items, engine noise etc. My question is though, is there anything specific to the 09 chassis I should know? Is the tyranny going to even be proken in at that point? Should it shift like glass or are they notchy? Are they prone to a lot of timing chain or valve noise? Just random stuff like that. I know every click clank and tap that my bike makes and the trannie after 38k shifts like butter. But its a completely different machine so I just want to know what I should be expecting. Thanks guys, and galls.

    Did you pay the guys asking price? I was trying to get my friend to pick it up but I guess you snooze you lose. Looked good from the pictures and veryyy low mileage. Pics!

    I did pay what he was asking. I was hoping to chew him down a little but he wasn't budging. It takes a lot of your bargaining power away two when you have to get a loan and can't just slap down. Huge was of cash in front of them. Honestly I have no regrets over the price anyways the bike is for all intents and purposes brand new. I could more than likely flip it in the spring and make a grand.

    And I will post some pics when I get home.

    Great deal Dave! You won't really have to do anything to it... Maybe exhaust, sliders... Maybe you'll get some tops for it this Christmas... Who knows..?

    That pic you textd me with Callaghan sitting on it is so sexy!
