    Is this a good deal on a stunted Gixxer?

    I went and looked on a 2001 GSXR 750. It has 33k miles, and it is a stunt bike. It has a stunt cage with a stunt gas tank. The tank is dented in looking professionally dented (not beat with hammer). It has a rattle can black paint job, which looks aweful, with paint peal, etc. The brake fluid reservoir's mount is broken, the brake and clutch levers ends are broken off, the seat is ripped up and need to be re-wrapped.

    Do you think $2100 is too much for this? I feel hesitant to take on something like this, but it runs and works with clear title. I rode it today, and it feels really good. This was my first time riding in about 4 years. It feels REALLY good. What would be a reasonable offer price where it wont devalue too much while I have it?

    It has a yoshimura exhaust, a smaller rear sprocket.

    What do you guys think?

    I'd say that's probably too much but do the math. What would it take to put it back in stock (or close) condition? Add that up and subtract from the blue-book. Then you shop for parts, do the work yourself and call the difference profit.

    Clutch reservoir ?? Looking at ebay, it looks like it's a cable clutch.
    Tank $175
    Seat $150
    sprocket/chain set $200
    brake lever $10
    clutch lever $10
    paint $1000

    So $1600 or so less than blue-book.

      I think $21 is too much. Stunt bikes are usually wrecked bikes that don't have titles and aren't street legal anymore. Plain and simple, stunt bikes get beat, hard. That one is no exception. You sure about the jet kit? You kinda need carburetors for a jet kit. And that bike doesn't have carburetors.

        I offered him $1500. He said no way, but he is asking me now what is the maximum I would pay for it. I am thinking $1600 should be my max? What do you guys think?

        I saw the title and checked the VIN number against it. It matches up properly.

        I saw it has FI written on the speedo gauge and asked him if it was carburetor and he showed me the manual choke and said yes it is carburetor.

        So, $1600 wouldnt be enough savings for the work I would be doing?

        My biggest concern is the miles, and combined with the stunt bike, that pretty much sucks. What would it take for me to consider this as a deal?

          I might give $210 if it ran PERFECTLY and I had lots of time to part it out. No chance in hell I'd leave a parking lot on that thing.

                I haven't been riding as long as some of the people here, but just from looking at that bike I wouldn't pay $100.00 for it. Stunt bike to me is the same as a truck that has been used to do off road rallies. Just say no! Dnlreiss is right, I found my bike on craigslist for $2500. It is an 06 Katana and had 1700 miles on it when I bought it. The carbs needed to be clean and new O-rings, but that was it. Wasn't a scratch on the bike. I bought it in August 2011 and have put 6000 miles on it already.

                Granted the Katana and Gsx-r are different, but in a quick search in the Atlanta area on Craigslist just now, I found a 99 GSX-R 750 with no stunting and only a few scratches on the fairings from where it was dropped without moving. . . $2800 OBO. If that stunt bike is worth even $1600.00 then this one is worth $4k. By the way the 99 only has 9k miles.
                All the world's a stage,
                And all the men and women merely players;
                They have their exits and their entrances,
                And one man in his time plays many parts,
                His acts being seven ages.

                  The 'professional' jobs are still done with a hammer.

                  Gsxr 750's haven't been carbureted since 96... 97 maybe..

                  In all honesty, if I were trying to pick up that bike it would either be to use it for stunting or convert it to a full time track bike.
                  I recently picked up a wrecked 2005 750 for 2200 and got it almost back to stock and still havent spent more than 2800 in total.

                      You didn't have the photos up when I posted earlier.
                      Blue Book is $3,325
                      Minus the $1,600 from earlier is $1,725

                      Left bar is bent $30
                      Left fairing is broken $60
                      Exhaust can is mangled $225
                      Bar ends are missing $20
                      Left intake duct is dented $90

                      That takes it down to $1,300 (minus all the shipping costs and whatever your labor is worth) for a beat on, abused bike that's been dropped (probably at low speeds) who knows how many times. You're probably going to put 50-60 hours of labor into replacing all the mangled parts so at $20/hr that's $1,000 which puts the value of the bike around $300. OTOH, if you look at it as a bunch of parts, how much are the engine and frame worth on ebay?

                        2100 for a hack job stunter? Hell no...

                        If he's dumb enough to think the fast idler is a choke knob lord knows what else he screwed up.
                        90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

                          Damn, I would run from a bike like that! A bike that has beaten and abused for most if not its life?
                          You really are buying someone else's problems there.

                              If he's looking at a GSXR, I'd be willing to bet that he's looking for a sportbike...
