Hey guys, not sure if this is the right section but whatever, move it if you need to.
I'm currently looking at some winter projects online and I found some potential in a 98 zx6e. It's sitting in the storage of a diesel truck dealership (some guy just trying to flip a crashed bike I imagine) so it hasn't been worked on at all. From what I can tell by the pictures, the bike is all there, but has definitely been down. Its right side is all rashed and the clip on is snapped off at its base. When I talked to the guy selling it he said he really doesn't know anything about bikes and that it "probably runs" . I think I could get the bike for around 400 bucks but I really have no idea what I'm getting. I learned a lot about bikes with my kat so if the this bike isn't horrible, I shoukld actually have the mechanical ability to get her going lol.
What are all of your wise thoughts on this, ol' great and powerful katriders? Would you take the chance on a bike that you haven't heard run from somebody who admittedly knows nothing about motorcycles? For what price would you take a leap of faith? Thanks for reading!
