I love that bike, it is absolutley a perfect beginner bike. There are 10' of thousands of them on the road and they can run for 50+ thousand miles if you take care of them. There are so many of them on the dtreet that they have a HUGE forum

America's Premiere YZF600R Web Source

You will find THE MOST friendly people on that forum-period.

It makes a very good track bike if you want to go that way every once in a while. Parts are VERY easy to find, AND they are still making the bike AND AND AND the parts are standard to '97 (allmost the entire bike is the same) so you can find more parts and mods.

For that price you would be stupid not to get it, if you don't want it give ne the guy's number.....
Cecil rode mine and I road his busa a long time ago-he said "that is a fun bike" I said the same thing about his.
I miss that bike. Go get it-EZ
