I Bought a 2019 Yamaha R6 for only $3000!!! (FB Marketplace)

[@HalfdeadRider]

I honestly think your brain isn't in YT'er mode, it's in business man mode, and that can be the right decision for you. But if you combine your thinking, $2k isn't bad when you also get content from it making up some extra income, with the views you get and extra income you can potentially create on these video with merch etc too, I honestly believe almost any project is worth you taking on with the current state of your channel.

[@RKMotorsports]

Don't get me wrong, I think about this with every purchase, just trying to be a bit more selective on which projects I'm going to be taking on. I do have my eyes on some newer sportbikes to rebuild on the channel

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@RKMotorsports Just some thoughts I decided to share, we will still be here watching whatever builds you decide to take on. I'd love to be in a position to do something similar.

[@javiernegrin8807]

You've done well, Rob. Full support on your decision, a wise one. It was fun to watch anyway, keep the videos coming, bro! Greetings from Madrid

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you! They don't always work out!

[@amith_kmth]

Can you please make a video on how to build a motorcycle ramp?

[@chonkitman8920]

so sad , i am r6 owner and i really like to watch your video haha. so sad that you didn't fix it

[@meanmechanic9]

Good choice. Not cool enough to lose your shirt over.

[@woooster17]

Brave decision for £3k.. I restore 90s sport bikes, and parts for them are A. Rare, & B. Expensive! Love bikes though so.. it’s all good 😊 Will watch the journey with this R6 👍🏼

[@jonik76]

Well, that was a short journey🤣

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

Good decision, but there was also a good potential of selling it for a good profit, since Yamaha discontinued it for the street and now only sells a track version.

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

I don't blame you

[@NavyVet-Gixxer]

Good decision. It would make a nice project bike for someone, but for a business, you want to make a profit, and you would've taken a hit on this one.

[@AfGzmaze75]

I Love All Your Videos My Poor Baby 2005 cbr600rr Was Stolen From Nyc Yesterday I Did Recover Her😢I wish you can somehow Take A Look At Her Head To Toe Swing Arms messed up Broken Gauges clutch and brake Levers Wiring Everytime I watch your videos i love how your neat with motorcycle work

[@iliyagaberov8816]

Well ofc it will be expensive on parts, what else did you expect? And after all as you say in the video, you bought it only for 3k...it,s 2019 not 1999 year

[@movingnaturefilms]

You made the right decision. I was surprised you even bought it.

[@RKMotorsports]

I knew at the time buying it I could at least get my money back out of it if not more if i needed to sell it quick, I try to do this with any bike I buy in case things don't work out or I go a different route

[@slids3]

Definitely easier bikes to flip with cheaper parts good move

[@mikeg4501]

Smart choice. Looking forward to the next build!

[@fikriadinasko9867]

Hi, good video.. may i know the zx10r chassis is up for sale??

[@ManuelGarcia-mf7dt]

Yea way to much would of been cool to see this rebuild doe but oh well

[@taswr]

Should have built a cool track bike and sold it…. Still would have made more money than ya did…

[@masterpol75]

Too expensive 😢

[@silentfox8]

100% right call, the views arent worth it if its putting you in the red

[@luisalejandro750]

Hello friend, I want to offer you a good business proposal about restorations here in my country. How do I contact you?

[@Maxinozx6r]

Rk finally getting a nice bike 😀😀😀😀 rk sells it🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@RKMotorsports]

lol here one day and gone the next!

[@johntreloar8203]

No point fixing a bike if there is no profit to be made, smart choice.

[@bobpatterson-yi4yv]

hey bro where are you located im in kansa and your trees look familiar

[@whatnow69]

U was robbed hahha who buys junk like that for 3k

[@MrTBA]

100% agree wise to walk away from that R6

[@Andy.N-_-]

Great decision you cant polish a turd (and sell it)

[@japowers99ify]

That's a beautiful 929 you got there

[@amivaleo]

It's always sad when one of these beauties seems doomed to the trash. I only hope she will get in the hands of a skilled guy like you who will make her anew again to keep her for himself. You did the right thing. This is your work, and if you say it wouldn't be a good deal, I believe you and you took the right decision. 💪 🤟from Italy!

[@mabrurisetiadi724]

3000$ is a lot of money Indonesia 😂

[@adriVG2000]

I wouldn't repair the engine in a hurry either, if it would cost so much, it's a good decision, it's not the only engine in the world, there are them like salads, I know it's a stupid question, will there be a gsxr 600 2007 in the future?Greetings from Croatia Europe

[@RKMotorsports]

I actually do have an 06/07 GSXR in the future lineup!

[@jepchang]

I wish i can watch the process, very rare for r6 to rebuild and im a fans of r6, l own 2010 r6 planing to restoration my r6 since i love it so much, if u rebuild tht video would give me an inspiration.

[@jokerman7014]

I like you video brother 🥰

[@nickq204]

The right decision, man. That’s one where you either sell it on, or bust it up for parts and sell them. That’s an awful lot of time and money for just a little bit of profit.

[@lukasgarage956]

There is no rebuild......smart choice.

[@RKMotorsports]

Some bikes just need to be left alone...

[@firebladeforce4662]

Grt decision Rob. That's true. Dats almost the dough for a stonking new rocket

[@larrysupersport]

How do you sell your completed projects? What kind of profit do you generally see?

[@tat2steven810]

actually, selling it was a good call...after seeing the damage, i knew it'd be a ton & not much profit👍

[@oscar.santos429]

Hello, I'm from Guatemala, I deserve a heart, no.

[@RKMotorsports]

Yes you do!

[@azharazeez2855]

Yes you made the right decision. It is not worth the money and time

[@rudolphsmith2622]

I love to see you back on… I love your content and overall I love bikes

[@lahirutharaka7543]

Next video

[@thecardboardcraftsman279]

Is this a full time job? I’m not complaining, I would love this but I was just wondering if you use the money you make from KZbin to buy these bikes and parts or if you have some other monetary source. What got you started for your first few bikes?Love what you do btw!

[@RKMotorsports]

I have an interview on my channel where I go over how i got started doing this if you want to check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn3Oo6ClotSDmM0

[@K4masha]

😮‍💨😪😭

[@BoneyMB]

Well done! It so good to see real business in action, not just YT performance.

[@jaybear29]

Completely understand bro...

[@lices]

As an R6 lover i am mad crazy about that rebuild. Also is one of the only few new gen rebuilds ❤❤❤Edit : Watched the whole video after work...dang...super dissapointed

[@RKMotorsports]

Sorry to disappoint!

[@mikearagon3022]

really liked how you broke down how much it would've costed you to fix. it would be cool to see this kind of breakdown for your rebuild series!

[@RKMotorsports]

I try to include the price breakdowns at the end once the bike is finished!

[@Joel-ej1bl]

Looking forward to this build

[@thouseinthehouse]

You made the right choice.

[@joshuaromano9407]

I own a CFMOTO 300sr and recently just had an accident. The bike's condition is almost similar to mine and I'm looking to have it fixed very soon. I look forward to see this R6 restored.

[@mechanicalman4531]

did you even watch the video ? he sold it on

[@joshuaromano9407]

@@mechanicalman4531 I meant for the new owner to have it fixed.

[@nklam247]

I am surprised you brought that bike for $3k and able to sell it for more. It would be great if you show your viewer best practices of buying a wreck bikes. Like things to look for before buying it, going into it having a list of parts prices, and how much time it is going to take to rebuild it.

[@RKMotorsports]

There are a ton of factors that can play into the estimation of parts and a lot of it is experience being able to know quickly what parts are usually priced at. At the end of the day even I can miss things when checking over a bike and one simple miss could be a very expensive mistake

[@businessman953]

3k is to much for that bike in my opinion

[@dwk5234]

I always enjoy your videos, Rob…not only for the excellent skills you bring to each endeavor, but to the smart, practical and businesslike way you do things. Smart…I like it!

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you! I'm glad I can provide that kind of information through my content!

[@johnmcmillan706]

Looks like Ithaca the bike will be beautiful when it’s done

[@RKMotorsports]

Right over that way!

[@danielmule8176]
