Turning into a dsmer???????? :?

[ray101]

Ok earlier today i was woking on my eclipse doing a timing job then was gonna do the bse, then i had this random guy come up to me and ask if my car was for sell. I told him no my bro got it for me and I am fixing this minor little stuff to get it on the road. He goes well sorry for bugging but i wanted to offer you a 2000 limited edition r6 with 16k and clean title!!!!! I told him no way i would rather have my 2g gst then a bike. Okay now just for your guys thoughts would yall would of traded????? And take note this car will be my daily!

 

[black91awdturbo]

Personally I would have traded an FWD for a R6 but that is just me..

 

[ray101]

Even if it was gonna be your daily??!! For about 6 months??!! (rain or shine !!)

 

[black91awdturbo]

I have done it so yes I would have personally. Because let me tell you some thing I have been driving dsm's since I have been 16 I am 29 now you will soon enough be walking rain or shine .... The R6 fast they always run if well maintained and they get traction ...

16K on an R6? That bike is all used up. I'm sure someone on here will tell me "nah dawg my bro's R6 went 30k no problem"....

Keep your car. There's a reason he wanted to get rid of his bike.

 

[ray101]

I never had a r6 before i drove zx9,10 but never a yamaha???!!! hmmmm and you make a good point walking rain or shine !!!!!! 2012 yea yea bullcrap !!! hmmm I dunno would you like to see a pic of the bike?!

yea true that is what i was thinking atm too!!! but from the outside it look CLEAN!!!

 

[cgbuter1]

I would have told him no also..

 

[black91awdturbo]

Both of my bikes have higher miles they run great its about how it was ridden and maintained. I have an R6 my suggestion is if you really like your car dont ride that bike because you will end up thinking hard .

I trade bikes for cars all the time and vice versa some times you just want a change which could be why he offered.

 

[ray101]

!!! WOW!!!! That much fun huh!!!

 

[black91awdturbo]

I have a Ninja and an 01 R6 recently I have had Cbr's Gixxers etc. If it tells you any thing the 02 R6 I have is the only vehicle I have that will never go any where. If I want some thing else I will swap my ninja .

Also I would be talking to him about cash on his end because I bought my 02 for 4k! It had 14 or 15k on the clock I dont recall.

Almost in 03-04 they got a tad lighter and just a little more power but cosmetics are almost identical. But, the one your looking at almost has 120hp with just over 400lbs...

Your picture no worky..

 

[ray101]

WOW!!!!! hmmmmmm okay let me try to post it again

Yup thats the one nice looking bike!!II like my simple black paint a little better but its still a nice bike none the less! That has some custom work polished frame etc!!

Is this some thing your considering doing?

 

[ray101]

I dunno the guy said the offer stands till sat soooooooooo \-_-/ Cause my girl is flipping out saying she wont ride on it and what if it rains ext and i need a helmet blah blah blah. Its that time of the month she just dont want me to get into a money pit like i am with my rx7... 5 years and still havent got it running no longer then 1 month so idk what my 110 percent choice is! i am leaning to keeping the car cause once i fix it i know what is wrong with it or not what on this bike i have no idea what it has been through and plus i dont know how expensive these bikes are???!!

16K on an R6? That bike is all used up

+1 Especially if it was rode hard and the owner was rev happy.

No deal man, sport bikes don't make good DD's and require insane amounts of maintenance compared to a car. Save up and get one on the side, but keep the DSM.

 

[black91awdturbo]

If I was trading I would be talking about him giving some boot money as I said I bought my 02 for 4k with a tad less miles a year ago.

I would just make notes of what you have to have. If the car is a must for you at this point I would not do the trade. That is why I suggested you dont drive the bike until you make a decision if you would be up for a trade or not ..

 

[ray101]

Thats the parts killing me is the money and the DD!!! :? ahhhhhhhhhhh I hate this!!!! I would love a bike for the summer

If i was to ask for cash it would prob be about $1000 plus the bike it is possible to by a hoopty!!! ! jkjk

Sorry have to disagree I live in a warm weather put thousands of miles on my sport bikes per year and have almost zero maintenance costs. I had to change a petcock and I hade a side cover oil leak.. Grand total of a an hour and around $100.00. All of my friends ride an except a clutch or so they have had the same deal with theirs. They all ride Gixxers for the record...

 

[ray101]

ehhhhhhhhh SUZUKI!!!! YAMAHA> SUZUKI

 

[black91awdturbo]

I am to the point I dont like Gixxers they are fast and nice bikes but every one and their brother has one around TN. It gets old seeing the same white or blue Gixxer every 5 min, I do wish the other bike companies would make a bridge between the 600 and 1000cc bikes like Suzuki did with the 750's though.

 

[ray101]

true i see those everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even the 750 i see everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!! i rarely see r6 or r1 tho.

16k on a bike...O id tell him to take a hike! that bike is all done bro, ###### beat to ishht too. theres a reason he wants your non running dsm. WALK AWAY BEFORE YOU END UP PUNCHIN URSELF IN THE FACE!!
