Hey everyone-

I'm on the verge of buying a 2007 GSXR 750 with around 3200 miles on it (for $6500). It has an extended warranty (till 2012). Bike appears in good condition, sounds good, rides good (short 3 min ride) though the rider mentioned sometimes his gear indicator shows the wrong gear.

Not sure if I can sound anymore like a squib, but is this a quality motorcycle? I have owned a 500cc Ninja, 600 CBR and now I'm moving to a GSXR finally. I've read a lot of good things (SportRider, forums) etc. about this bike. Yet I also have read about vibration and noise issues. Now that I really mind vibration or noise, just as long as it's in check. Just wanted to get unbiased TRUE rider's opinion on this bike model before I buy it. I usually have full faith in Japanese bikes, yet it can't hurt to get some opinions. Thanks in advance guys.

*sorry if this is in the wrong section. i blame it on the newb

i have a k7 750 bro. got 11700 miles and the only problem i had with it was the exhaust servo going out on me about 700-800 miles back. fixed it by getting a new exhaust and the bike is still going strong. no complaints what so ever. i think you should go for it. i would offer the guy 6000 though. just me....

good luck and welcome to the sight man! :thumbup:

 

[xenobirth22]

thanks for the advice. the guy that's selling said he's firm at 6500. i think it's a reasonable price, by no way being a steal. i'll see if I can work on him. cheers mate

 

[pswamp605]

well. call him and tell him you have 6k, if he wants to sell it bad enough he will sell it, and tell him to call you back when he decides he wants it,, as far as the shifting goes, just know which gear your in and dont always rely on the indicator
.

I think $6500 is a pretty fair deal for a K7 750 with only 3200 miles on it. As long as its in decent shape, mechanicly and cosmeticly. Just make sure it hasnt been wrecked before or something, otherwise sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

 

[MR DANGLES]

google motorcycle blue book... trade in=5,150 and retail is 7,460 so i would say 6,500 is okay but 6,000 is what i would offer. cash in hand and he will more then likely take it

 

[Dark Suzuki]

it may have a TRE installed, hence not showing the right gear (always in 5th), other than that sound like a good price.

 

[Mr645]

GSXR 750 is probably THE ideal street bike for most riders

 

[xenobirth22]

I can't wait. Next week I should have some pictures up :thumbup:

Buying a used 2007 GSXR 750 - your thoughts?

[xenobirth22]

I would if I could. :thumbup:

Buying a bike

Right now is the time to buy a bike everyone is dumping them cheap even the newer ones are going for under 8k.

 

[sick6ness]

Got mine August 08', having 1800 miles on it for $7k. I'd say $6k otd would be a more reasonable price

 

[xenobirth22]

Yea I think 6K would be the ideal price, yet this guy has been holding the bike for me for several weeks and we agreed on $6500. Maybe I'll see if he could cover some of the state tax (PA) to transfer the title and all.

 

[flyin low]

if you walk up and put 6 cash in his hand and say this is the best I can do he will take it. i got my 01 600 down to 1800 when the guy wanted 3000 for it.... When they are holding it in there hand its awful hard to say nope I need 500 more....

 

[xenobirth22]

i guess the only condition with that logic is you have to be willing to walk away without the bike if he doesn't take 6k. I'm not sure if I would be able to do that..:bounce

 

[xenobirth22]

hey guys- i picked up the k7 for the firm price of $6500. Could have got a better deal but I'm happy. :thumbup: I've attached some pics..

 

[KAOTICKUSTOMZ]

Thats the same bike I have. Bought mine new and have about 5000 on it. Couldn't say enough good things about it!!!

Make sure you read through the used motorcycle evaluation guide FIRST.
This is really long and will probably take you an hour or more to read entirely, but it's well worth the time.

Nice bike dewd! I bought mine with 1200mi 7 months ago for $7600, so I'd say you got a pretty good deal.
