FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

Hi. Found this forum while searching for an old FZR board I frequented. I've got a stock 1997 FZR600R that I've owned for the last six years that I need to sell. Just bought a V-Strom for longer rides so I don't need the FZR. The bike was mainly used for commuting and gets great gas mileage, should be 50+. Very reliable bike as I still ride it even on very cold mornings.

I bought the bike and rebuilt the top end with new pistons/rings, seals/gaskets, and freshened up the head. Factory Pro emulsion tubes were installed in the carbs along with a fresh clean and rebuild. Last fall I installed an RK chain and sprocket kit(rivet type) with the original spec gearing. A new Yuasa battery and BT-014 tires were also fitted at this time. Bike still runs great and does not smoke, leak, or use oil. Always starts very easily. Lower fairings are in pretty tough shape but they're still serviceable. Overall the bike still looks like a really good representation of a stock FZR600. Everything works and it has the stock turn signals and undertail. Mileage is around 27,400 and currently being ridden. Shell Rotella 15w40 is the only oil I've ever used.

New state inspection as of yesterday(November 7, 2012). North Carolina requires an inspection within 90 days of registration so anyone that buys this bike will be ready to register right away.

I'm located near Asheboro just south of Highway 64, very easy to get to. I need to get $1200 for the bike and that includes a Haynes manual, factory tool kit, 2 keys, and a clean title. My email is ldheli2005@yahoo.com since I may not be on here regularly.

thats a nice looking bike dude, if it runs good you should be able to sell that no problem!

Thanks! The FZR must be the most under-appreciated sportbike to ever hit the market. I'm not sure how bike selling is in other parts of the US but in my area it's definitely a buyer's market. Just hoping to find a good home for this thing before the holidays.

Here in AZ I haven't seen an fzr that is running on Craigslist for less than $2000. With fairings in good condition $3200.

I paid 1500 for mine and it was nowhere near as nice as yours, I just happened to know the bike personally from a friend owning it so knew it had no issues. I'd ask for more, try not to go insane with low ball offers, and see what you get. A buddy sold a chopped up katana with a swapped engine for more than he sold a clean 900rr, you never know.

SOLD!

Took it for one last ride yesterday and sold it to a somewhat local guy last night. Got what I was asking for it and am happy the guy got a good deal. I've got a few used takeoff parts and some spares I may post up when I get time.

Keep those FZRs on the road, they're great bikes!

If I was in the area I would have picked that up so quick!

congratz on the sale! hopefully the new owner gives it as much love as the previous!
