Bike LOOKS cherry. As long as the title is clean I say its a go. Obviously you should check it out in person before laying down the cash. Price is very fair IMO.

if thats in Cali, id say its a pretty good deal in this time of year. If it were me id jump on it. u see 1999-2000 go for that price, thats if u are even lucky. Prices have gone wayyyy up.

I say this is a great deal. But of course if you can bargain it even more, why the hell not.

I just got my 2002 F4i and paid $4700 w/ 9000 miles on it. Mine wasn't even perfect...it was dropped before (minor damages of course). Trust me, its not easy to even find a used R6 these days...so if the title is good, I would jump on it immediately.

yeah i see a scotts damper on it. Its something the R6 should come with stock. At least you know tankslappers wont be a big problem. its worth 400 new so keep that in mind. Plastics look clean and 4400 is already a fair deal. Dont be surprised if he doesnt budge because plenty of people out there will pay a bit more for it so dont lowball too far.

I didn't agree with this at first...but after doing tankslappers @70mph on Rte. 110, I wish I had one.

What, 4 on each side is a lot? lol

I'd say that's a steal. It wouldn't last a day in FL at that price.

Id say thats a really good price if its not salvaged. Always try to knock off a couple hundred, if not its still a good deal at 4400 if everything is working fine.
