Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and joined because I am hoping to be the proud owner of a katana here soon. Basically I'm looking for input on whether or not you guys/girls think the bike I'm looking at is worth it. My buddy is selling a:
1990 GSX600F for $400! with 22,000 miles on it
Pros: new front & rear lights, new mirrors, rebuilt/cleaned carbs, tires & brakes are good, new starter
Cons: one of the carbs leaks gas, spray painted black, tank and fairings are off, may need some electrical work
I've known my friend for years and trust him, so I have no reason to think the deal is too good to be true or anything. He just has another bike and no room for this one. I'm on the fence with this decision because while I am mechanically inclined, I do not have a ton of time or money. I've heard this model is reputable for being reliable and easy to work on, but don't want to get in over my head. Any help/advice is appreciated and thanks in advance!
