Depends on how many miles are on it... It needs brakes, wheel bearings & seat that we know of, tires are 3/4 worn and/or dry rotted. He already bought a battery & fuel pump for it (it might also be due for a new clutch, stator, chain, sprocket,etc..soon) and is scratched up/dented gas tank from being dropped.... If it has say 50,000 miles, it's not really worth more than what he paid for it. His profit will be made from doing the DIY repairs/labor which will make the bike worth a bit more money....You can buy an 04 GSXR 600 or 750 in very good condition with 18,000 miles for $3,000 I just seen a really nice one for sale Marathon FL asking $3,400 for it. It comes with a couple bike covers, security chain, helmet, gloves, jacket and lots of new parts. I highly doubt the seller is "punching air" right now

When you sell it you show me receipts and everything’s been replaced for a higher price. Time is money have a nice day. Mahalo.

The rough running after you started it is normal, fuel map has not been adjusted to suit the aftermarket can, mine is exactly the same with the Akraprovic can it has, which BTW is the exact same bike as yours, 2004 orange/black 600, over here in Scotland, i'm lucky my bike is in good condition though.

yo good vid!! I just got a 2020 Honda CBR 650r. it has 94 Hp and is 450 lbs. so, how much slower is it than ur? did I screw up? Should I have gotten a used R6 or 600RR? Thanks!

[@LIFEBUILDZchannel]

I think that’s a great bike, this gsxr stock would have 97 hp and weigh in a 425 lbs. they would be pretty similar in performance

[@TheBlauwitje]

That's a nice buy, i have a 750cc two brothers m2,its sounds the same, if its feels rough youl prob need to change the spark plugs on it. Got only one big question, why is that left mirror in so much motion why ryding, id moved al lot also when it whas on the truck. Is there some brakkit broke?

[@LIFEBUILDZchannel]

Yes when the bike was laid over it broke the mirror bracket, thats why it shakes so much.

[@AnDiHaZeKaYe]

More of a car fan myself. But I appreciate your work getting this started no such thing as giving up.. I always go by 2 things on cars with problems.
