Default Is this a good deal for a 1997 Honda CBR 600 F3 ?

Well, I'm starting to get an itch to buy another bike. I had a 2003 ZX6R for a while, but I sold it.

I found a guy selling a 1997 Honda CBR 600 F3 right around my area. It has 13,XXX miles on it, and the guy is asking $3,600 for it. I just recently got a new job. I work 2 jobs now and make enough to afford it. I honestly don't know **** about motorcycles. This one just looks like it's in great condition, it's a 600cc, it's right in my area, and it's right around my price range for what I'd like to spend if I were to buy a used bike.

Here is the exact description takin from another site:

1997 Honda CBR 600 F3 in excellent condition. Never dropped, raced, wheelied, etc. Bought it as a starter bike a couple of years ago and it has been fantastic! I'm selling it because I just bought a Jeep and I need the money to lift it! Here's the lowdown:

-Vance & Hines slip-on
-Professionally jetted by Central Michigan Motor Sports
-Carbs tuned by Central Michigan Motor Sports
-New NGK Plugs and oil change
-Newly adjusted choke cable
-Meticulously stored during non-riding months
-Starts right up and runs smooth

I know there's more I can't remember at this moment, but I will update whenever I can. This is truly a great bike and I am extremely sad that I am selling it. It gets great gas mileage and goes like a bat out of hell. The only thing it may need is a new rear tire.

Please, no tire kickers. Test rides are an option for serious buyers only; no joyrides here. If you are, in fact, truly interested please e-mail me at XXXXXX@gmail.com. You may PM me, but I may take a little longer to get back to you. I can also share my phone number at request. Thanks for looking!

3600 is a little to high couple hundred more and searching you could get a 01 02 f4i.It looks to be in good shape but try to get him down to 3000.

At this time of year, you'll need to come up with $4500 to find a decent F4i in the same condition as that F3.

That bike looks like its in fantastic shape - go look at it, and if you can get it home for $3200-3300 its well worth it.

Good luck

That F3 is cherry. It's getting harder and harder to F2 and F3s in mint condition.

I'd try to talk down the price.
