Default So i got back in the game!!!

sold this about 2 months ago:



and got this 3 days ago:


2004 Suzuki GSX-R600 with 4300 miles. never dropped and only mods are competition works rear fender eliminator, ghetto flush mounts in the front, and vortext frame sliders. now all it needs is a paint job and factory stickers to return it back to mostly stock form.

i've ridden it for a bit over the weekend, and i must say it handles pretty nicely.

it may very possible be. when i went to look at the bike i checked every thing on the bike and did not see a scratch. either this guy didn't drop like he said, or did a damn good job replacing all the parts that may have been damaged. the story on the unpainted fairings is he bought it from the dealership who took it in on trade. said the person that traded it in rattle canned over the stock paint scheme and then it started chipping off . where it started chipping off though did show that it was the stock color with no scratches or anything that i could see.

imo i think i got a fair deal considering the condition and time of the season. all the gixxers i found that were in the same range with stock color were atleast $1500 more.

F4i.

To the OP :
Can you feel a difference in power at all from those cheating 37 cc's?

636, extra displacement gives noticeable mid range power, inverted forks, slipper clutch

no contest IMO

omg yes, mid-range was definitely much better on the 636. i've never ridden an f4i, but from sitting on both bikes the f4i doesn't have as an aggressive riding stance.

they actually did try to paint the tank, and thats where it chipped off the fastest . atleast it chipped off cleanly and it revealed the nice factory paint underneath with the decal. i'm just gonna get it redone professionally either way.
