I found a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 636 with 4000 miles, looks brand new, always kept in a garage when not in use, it has been lowered and a aftermarket exhaust has been added.

I am waiting for a call back from the seller on how much they are offering.

If it is 4000 or less i might go for it, Maybe, Big Maybe

pic's or bs

i dont know man you know you're self better then anyone else here, so really if you think you can handle it and all of that with out killing you're self, and or loosing a limb or toe. then go for it, but if you doubt you're self then ya i wouldnt do it.

If you want the bike and think you can handle it go for it, just respect its power and never never never drink and ride a bike of any kind.

And remember the golden rule... ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LEATHERS AND MOTORCYCLING BOOTS... no matter what the temperature... the number of idiots I see riding around in a t-shirt and trainers is stupid.

Oh and my biggest advice would be to take an advanced motorcycling course... seriously. Take one that is run by cops by preference. A lot of motorcycle policement train others as they are fanatical bike riders. Some of the things you learn on those courses are cool and others are frightening... like the tale of the teenager who was riding with trainers and who went a bit too far over going round a corner... took his foot off at the ankle when the peg bit the ground and bobbled the bike and forced his foot into the rear wheel... He still rides but can only handle a trike now.

I may be preaching to the converted but I really, REALLY recommend those advanced courses. Saved my life when this dumbass woman driver (no I don't hate women drivers... just this one)... She pulled out of a side road looking at the mirror to see if her bloody lipstick was smudged... never even saw me and sideswiped me and sent me bouncing off down the road... never stopped either. What saved me was I had all the right kit on and only came away with scrapes on my leathers and loads of bruises. Funniest thing was I hit this door on the corner of two streets... went right through it and ended up in front on a bloody bar. IT WAS A PUB lol.... Landlord thought I was breaking in until he saw me on the floor and my bike ticking over up against the wall. Then he offered me a drink and I was just about to drink it when he snatched the bloody thing off me saying... "NONONONO... bad idea.... you might have a concussion!". I was personally thinking "DAMN!... nearly got a free drink there lol". Actually he was right though... had a concussion and was in hospital for week even though I felt sort of OK...

Oh another thing... after you have had an accident and bumped you helmet... DITCH IT! and get a new one. Most modern helmets are made so that it will reduce the impact but by breaking... once you have given it a good whack it breaks the matrix of the helmet and it won't be as good again...  and don't stint on cost for a helmet... it could save your life. Like I said though, probably preaching to the converted.

p.s. Can you tell I miss my bikes

[swsmailman]

Ok, well i just called again and she is asking 4600 for it, the MSRP of a brand new one was 8000 and from what I have found by searching 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 636 with 4000 miles on it, they are all pretty much going for 4300-5000, and with it being lowered and aftermarket exhaust, its not a bad price i don't think

[EG Haggard Spartan]

You must realize. With the economy right now. Big cars will go down, small cars and bikes will go up. Buy as cheap as possible because its gonna go up.

[EG NeoMorph]

Dude, go for it...

Have it checked over by a qualified mechanic before or after purchase though. Don't want to have the thing fall apart while you are driving it.

[swsmailman]

Ill prob have a decision on if i am going to get it by the end of this weekend.

[Skud Missile]

Everything that Neo said 
Sounds like a good buy - is that the same as my bike (called an ER-6F over here but a Ninja 650 over your way) or would that be the equivalent of a ZX-6R? (The more sporty, balls out 160+ MPH beast  )
Probably a good time of year to get one as most people won't be riding much till about march over here so I guess the same in the us....
Oh, and one final peice of advice - Always assume EVERYONE is out to kill you and you'll rarely be disappointed  , never take risks on two wheels cos the old "I didn't see you" is a classic excuse used by ignorant car drivers who don't know to watch out for bikes!
Piccies if you get it 

[swsmailman]

Its a zx-6r also called a 636.

and its running with about 125 horsepower.

so yea, i really want to get it.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[EG Haggard Spartan]

Why do you want a bike? In all honesty

[swsmailman]

It is something that I have always wanted, I love riding, I love the riskiness of it. I guess I just love the adrenaline from the rush of it.

Not to mention, there awesome, great on gas mileage, and damn sexy.

[swsmailman]

Well, since the inheritance money that I have is for some reason still off-limits to me, and since I can't get a loan, or acquire money any other way, I can already tell ya, that I prob will not be getting it.

Its a sad day in mailmans world.

[EG NeoMorph]

Sorry to hear that mate... I do have to say that as an ex-bike rider I used to love my machines. But saying that I do like my box on wheels (which my Zaf 1.9 turbo diesel is). Nothing quite like going through stormy weather nice and warm in a car while watching bike riders shiver even in leathers.

One thing I always used to hate about riding in winter... going to get petrol. You had to take off your helmet and balaclava and stuff to prove you weren't robbing the place. Used to pee me right off... The robbers aren't going to bloody listen to a sign are they? Might just as well put a sign up "DON'T ROB THIS STORE!" for all the effect it would have. The only people it inconveniences is the legitimate users.
