Hello all, I found a 2001 Katana 600 on a semi-local craigslist for get this... $600. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/mcy/6134523711.html
I looked at the ad but don't have the extra funds atm. Turns out it's battery died 5 years ago and it's been sitting outside since then. Along with a salvage title, few scratches on the fairing, a bent handlebar and brake lever, and just obvious neglect from being left outside in the weather.
What kind of person leaves a bike outside unprotected for years? I thought probably wrecked, the insurance co. totaled it due to fairing scratches and gave it a salvage title, or the guy bought it that way thinking he'd fix it up or ?
Sounds like it could be a good deal, after doing the obvious repairs and needed maintenance. Your thoughts?
