Bought another motorcycle

[psychochild]

So I picked up another project,  a 1993 FZR600  I don't really know anything about these bikes but you wont believe the price I paid...  200$!  It needs a bit of work but its in overall good shape,  so far Ive found out that the fairings are all aftermarket,  the suspension has been modified with an aftermarket rear shock and stiffer front fork springs.  its not that good looking but it sure sounds great.  Im probably going to strip it out to the frame and start restoring pieces one at a time.

PS note the diamond plate stickers on the rear swingarm

thats not bad looking either! steal! track bike? or beater bike?

[psychochild]

not sure,  I dont really have a track that close to where i live/time and money to do that, probably a restoration then a sale.

[Grampa]

hell..... just stick  a giant star sticker on it and sell it to a stunt'a for 4 times  what ya paid for it.

[He Man]

id buy it off ya if you were near. I could use a beater bike right now.

Not bad! 

I saw '93 FZR and I thought of baby blue & white or purple & red?!   

If you chopped off the seat and put on something like the new CBR or Hayden's MotoGP Repsol..it would look good. 

The current seat though?!  Wow..it's the incredible bulk!!

+1

It actually looks tail-heavy.

[psychochild]

yep it really does look bulky back there,  I think its more due to the swing arm and narrow tire, if the swingarm was about 2 inches longer and the tire more like a 190 instead of a 120 it would be perfect.  also there isnt an exhaust on it right now so with that there it should even out the back end a bit.

Where did you find it for 200 bucks?  What's wrong with it?  Wish I found that deal.

if the swingarm was about 2 inches longer...

Why stop there?  I'd go 12 inches longer at a minimum.
