I have a 92 gixxer 600 with ~5k original mi. Black (w/ blue flake) w/ blue/purple/pink graphics - 90's colors! Near mint, all original barring tank protector (suzuki cf), rear spools (vortex), and blue/purple headlites/parking lite. Still has all the original warning & spec stickers. Have spent a lot of time and money replacing/cleaning/polishing, as it sat from 92 - 07 or so. Extensive service history at House of Cycles, Beaudry's & KDR.

Known issues: tires suck (not completely worn out, but are checked and a lil' slippery - i'd replace them (but powder coat rims 1st, as there are a few small blemishes on them); front wheel bearing is going out; petcock likes to remain on 'reserve' - don't ask. I always run Shell gas, Repsol oil. Brakes are good, and I've got extra pads. New steering head bearing. Lots of carb/fuel line/valve work. New Interstate batt.

Very unique bike that gets a lot of attention - it should go into a collection - it's that nice. Never abused and hardly used. This bike is ready to go, and must go! Many of you have seen her - if you have, please vouch for her & spread the word. I have moved, and she's just sitting around (again).

Price: 2700.

ghetto_d · 02-28-2010, 12:19 AM

Oh yeah - she has cf bar ends as well. Signals are removed, but I still have the originals; I was going to put clear flush-mounts up front, and a clear integrated rear. I have a lot of aftermarket sources too, if anyone is interested (from windscreen to exhaust).

ChrisMag · 02-28-2010, 12:29 AM

Did you have the tank re-lined?

courier11sec · 02-28-2010, 01:10 AM

How is it that there are so many people out there that put up a for sale ad with no price?
You do realize it's kind of important right? Or maybe just first offr gets it?

Price or its not $sale.
nice bike though

Gravey86 · 02-28-2010, 06:45 AM

Look at that bottom of his listing, just gotta look.

Kingair33 · 02-28-2010, 12:33 PM

That is awesome, I love it.

Litzer · 02-28-2010, 12:55 PM

Wow thats a sweet bike.

mfrankpdx · 02-28-2010, 01:00 PM

Wow, that is a really nice old school bike!

coastiepete · 02-28-2010, 03:17 PM

Omg, that is fukking sick! damn..........

ghetto_d · 02-28-2010, 06:59 PM

To answer those whom have posted:

1 - the price is listed, but to state it again, it is 3k. (obo).

2 - no, the tank has not been re-lined; peering into it, it looks just as clean as the rest of the bike. no evidence of corrosion (i'm assuming that that is what you are concerned about).

3 - thanks for the props. it really is one of the finer examples of old school. one would be hard pressed to finnd one of this caliber in this country.

4 - in case it matters to anyone, this thing is also oil and air cooled...

5 - i should also note that she may be old and heavy, but she holds her own... she's also waaaay more comfortable than a late model (especially when riding 2-up). offers a lot of protection from the wind as well.

6 - this is the 1st yr of the gixxer 6.

08ZX14RG · 02-28-2010, 08:28 PM

Bump for a sweeeeeet bike I would love to have...

smoothytaggert · 03-01-2010, 12:16 PM

Yes, that would have been me.

thought of something else: new fork seals last spring.

ghetto_d · 03-02-2010, 11:11 PM

REDUCED PRICE: 2700 - let's move this thing. I want it gone yesterday.

Litzer · 03-03-2010, 11:51 AM

Wow, someone buy this gorgeous bike!

smoothytaggert · 03-03-2010, 02:50 PM

gravey didn't get it yet

Gravey86 · 03-03-2010, 06:15 PM

nope, still waiting for back surgery then going to fix the TLR. Still got to finish the 86 1100 too. Hell of a good price to this though. I showed Sonia but she didn't go for it.

smoothytaggert · 03-04-2010, 07:24 AM

^^^ LOL I'm sure she didn't...

ghetto_d · 03-04-2010, 09:17 PM

C'mon people - I have this much in recent reciepts!! I'm gonna lose my ass on this thing.

smoothytaggert · 03-05-2010, 07:55 AM

I'm spreading the word... but you know how peeps are... if it ain't new...

erickb · 03-05-2010, 03:52 PM

nickd · 03-05-2010, 04:39 PM

those colors are so hot. i love it love it love it love it. wish i could buy it.
it really deserves to be in a collection like you said.

renton rider · 03-05-2010, 09:35 PM

damn that's a sexy bike.. any luck selling yet? you're in spokane, right?

Stjjames · 03-05-2010, 09:42 PM

Wow !
What a beauty !!!
I'd be proud to call it mine, were I not a broke ass.

A couple of interested parties; no real action yet though. about to advertise outside of pnw.

the bike is in spokane. collecting dust (on the cover, of course). actually, my boy's been keeping the battery tended and firing her up here and there.

I was going to sell it to beaudry's, as they loved it...

Yeah, i know. but those new bikes don't have the character. This bike gets the attention and respect.
I find it curious that people are willing to shell out a lot more for a newer bike w/ way more miles.

ghetto_d · 03-06-2010, 11:01 PM

ghetto_d · 03-08-2010, 02:30 PM

NEW PRICE: $2500. C'mon you cheap s.o.b's!!!!!

ghetto_d · 03-10-2010, 02:21 AM

would consider trades that would add to my arsenal

Mechanical Husbandry · 03-10-2010, 10:55 PM

Wow, super deal, beautiful bike that reminds me of high school. Just curious- with 5k original miles, how on earth did it need steering head bearings and a front wheel bearing? Anything weird happen?

varment · 03-10-2010, 11:38 PM

Old school my ass.... I graduated high school that year, its too new to be old school....

Bipolar · 03-11-2010, 12:30 AM

I would buy this bike in a heartbeat if you weren"t clear across the state.

It would be a lovely ride, and gauging by the lack of offers (despite all the compliments), it'll probably be waiting around for even nicer weather!

-I'd consider your XD as part trade...-

This bike has a totally clean history - a history of no use, which would lead me to believe that the grease degenerated and therefore the bearings experienced extra wear. I don't know - anyone want to comment?
I'm not saying you do, but I suppose if you think that soemthing weird has happened, you could check it out in person.

You're showing your age, old timer.

Bipolar · 03-11-2010, 08:44 AM

Sorry the XD is not for sale or trade but if I can get some time off and the bike is still around in a week or two I'll try and make it over there and check it out.

Bipolar · 03-11-2010, 09:47 AM

What has to be done to the bike so i could ride it home? there are no signals on the bike right? but you have the old ones so what would it take to put them back on? and is there anything else that needs to be done to it before it is street ready?

I wouldn't count turn signals as necessary, but all I did was unbolt (single bolt/bracket) them and clip the wires. Wires are just dangling inside fairing, waiting to be spliced back together. Probably a 20 min job if you are meticulous. I don't know if the tabs are still valid - I'll have to get back to you on that. Someone else was wanting to ride it to Portland, and the only flag that came to mind was the front wheel bearing; I cannot predict how long it's going to last, but it just became noticeable as I parked her last year. I'm going to have my garage keeper take her out and give me his take on it. She's been stored in a heated garage and exercised reguarly. She's ready to go. Fires right up and runs just as well as the FZ1 sitting beside her.
