    Good question... it was 6-7 years ago. 16k, maybe? I haven't ridden it much since I started racing a couple years ago. I keep up the maintenance, just don't get it out much.

    Also concur.... the bike looks pretty good in pictures, at least.

    looks pretty sweet honestly. rims hardly have marks from tire changes, frame looks clean. tank looks clean. THermosman forks (at least that a TMS sticker so i'm sure he did them). one clean lookin 05.

    It’s the cleanest one I’ve seen yet got the price. From the pics anyway... He works for Yamaha so that does help ease my mind a little with the high mileage

    Good to know. I’ve always been scared of high mileages bikes but good to know someone has bought one similar in range and doesn’t regret it.

    Bump:D……….quick parts interchangeability question. 99 r6 shock on a ‘04 r6s……is it direct swap? Or best not be a dumb@ss, and leave them alone as 2 separate animals altogether ? My 99 I’m just going to part out since snagging a ‘04, but the 99 came with a nice Penske and traxxion dynamics forks. Just a morning coffee thought;)

    Yeah it’s funny I never got that 04 I asked about back in 2019, but coincidentally picked one up yesterday and then remembered the thread :D

    you will love it. A fella on here was selling a 2003 a few years ago. After chatting turns out he was just a few miles from my buddy.
    I send him over to retrieve the bike. My buddy tries to fire it up and the seller was adamant the gas was a few years old and it needed to be changed.
    My hackles went up... but no biggie. I showed up a couple months later to retrieve the bike & turn the key and fired it up right up. At this point the bike had been sitting 3 years...lol
    The tank was immaculate. Rode it up & down the block a few times and loaded it for the trip back to FL. I went thru the bike & suspension over the following months... its still runs great with 5500 miles on it.

    I hope so. I admit I’m a combination of excitement, anxious, nervous. Took a break from racing the past 3 years now besides a few hare scrambles, and feel like I might be jumping ahead of myself. But I also admit I know it’s one of those things…..once the visor flips down, it’ll settle down and be good to be out there again…….just on a new to me bike, that’s going to be faster than any FZR I’ve ever had. It’s the unknowns leading up to that moment getting back on track :beer:
