I went to look at a salvage 2006 gsxr today - just to look - nothing more. The bike is what I thought it was - WRECKED , but I made him an offer on the bike @#$#! I kill myself sometimes.

just because you have garage space does not mean you need to fill it.

I hope it get it ;D

Everybody needs a project bike. Hope you get it.

How bad is it? Forks good? Frame tweekd?

Donor front end?

Stick an old SV front end on it, and a skinny 160 rear tire!

its a project alright

as best I could tell frame, wheels, forks, engine ok.

everything else to include the subframe - poof - not sure if this will be a race bike or a street bike yet. If I can put it back on the street cheaply - that's the way I'm gonna go. If not, race plastic and call it a day. If I find bad stuff - it will get parted out.

if everything works out the way I hope it will - in three months the gsxr will be my street legal therapy bike, the 08zx-10 will be gone replaced by a zx-14.

My girl friend thinks I need therapy. So does my insurance agent for that matter.

Tell them that working on said projects IS your therapy and is what keeps you sane!
on the othe bike....doesn't look bad @ all. Is it ridable?

I've had it on the rear stand and cycled through the gears - all gears work all controls work to include foot controls. With that said I am not sure how it will ride but my hunch is ok. my race bikes have looked much worse, so I'm pretty hopeful for this one.

I am really surprised even the front ffairing stay is intact. Usually those things break off into a bazillion pieces.

i am quite happy with how the bike looks. The biggest challenge now is removing the bolt for the right side frame slider which snapped. other than that i think we're good. I'll do an assessment today on what it needs, but for now i suspect all it needs is platstic, lighting and a few other small things.

Other than the salvage title, looks like you made off with a good deal!! Thanks for posting this up, cause you just got me curious as to what I might find around this area!

Pretty amazing to think how little it takes to write off a bike these days.

according to the estimate I saw from the shop you're looking at 13K in repairs

basically everything you see that has a blemish, scuff, mark, tint or other would need to be replaced.

If you don't mind, how much was it?

 

[raab02]

+1. When i get a garage, this looks like it could be fun.

Oh, and some money. Guess I'll need that too.

 

[thejimdaddy]

sweet, salvage bikes can be sweet deals, plastics are cheap, check out this guy http://myworld.ebay.com/auctmarts1/ i don't have anyexperiance but from what they say on gixxer.com, the fairings fit well, where do you live?? there can be some hurdles to jump thru when reregistering it

 

[tlfreek]

diggin into it now. as you can tell what it really needed was a bath and a happy home.

 

[auburngsx]

I want to go to there.

Seriously looks like you got a good bike there. It just looks like a torn down bike in the pic above. You wouldn't even know it's wrecked.
