Default price opinions please on a 99 R6

1999 Yamaha R6
21,000 miles
salvage title


"Bike has a few scratches here and there, but overall a nice bike. Bike has an under fender kit, small turn signals tucked in to body panels, open lower plastic showing off header pipe, Micron slip on pipe, newer tires, good brakes with aftermarket lines and fittings, good battery, great sounds, superb handling, accelerates like a monster, tons of power- a real nice riding bike."

much appreciated!

yeah try and stay away from bikes with over 20k miles unless its a honda. r6's are race bikes. those 21k miles are prolly hard ridden canyon miles and prolly 70% of the time they were ridden in the high rpm range. you might get a good deal on this, but you also might have to take it in for an extreme tune up. They could also easily be just freeway miles. just stuff tho think about.

It doesnt matter about the mileage as long as the bike was taken care of. What? A Honda can only last past 20k miles. These things can last as long as you want them to. Any Bike can pass 20k miles. All bikes are pretty much made for the same ****, canyon riding, racing, who cares. Any bike can do any of that ****. Where did you get the statistic about the 70% of them are ridden in the high rpm range. OKAY!
