I drink a few beers daily, studies have shown it is actually beneficial. Not getting drunk, just a few. It relaxes you, and if you enjoy it why not. I even had a doctor recommend it to my Ex wife saying it was actually good for you. This was not Doc in the Box, it was the Mayo Clinic. Just limit...
Well if you weren't so far away I might do it, I have an 07 Blue all stock with Motovation Sliders Axle and Frame.
And Clear Signal lenses, Clear tail light lens, and LED bulb for tail/brake.
K& N Air Filter and all stock parts.
Good luck with the sale :D

I have one and it is an excellent bike. Very easy to maintain, low seat height, and lots of torque. Last time I rode mine a few weeks ago, I was getting 55 MPG. The only thing I could see this bike needing is maybe heavier springs in the forks if he is over 180#. I just put spacers in mine and...
You might also consider one of the Bandit 1250's Very smooth bike lots of torque and around 42 MPG, for spirited riding +- 100 mph and it holds 5 gallons of gas.
I had one for about a year, and had to get rid of it or Send my Lic. back to the state. Was so smooth you would be cruising along...
Not a big fan of the Pilot Road 2, they did not last as long as the Pilot Powers on my Versys. Here is a pic of my Pilot Road 2 rear on my Kawasaki Versys 2650 Miles. Remember the Versys is about 65hp at the crank, and I was not riding in the triple digits, nor do I do burnouts or run low tire...
Here is an idea!!! I also own a Versys, and some time back a guy did his own exhaust using a Cherry bomb muffler. The Muffler was like $25 and actually sounded pretty nice. You could mount 2 of those and stop by a muffler shop and grab a Y pipe and some Flex to connect it all up. Should be able...
Here is another comparison, I bought my 07 with 11k miles from the original owner for $2100 2 weeks ago. It had never been down or dropped, Had Scorpion exhaust, K&N, Clear Signals,Clear Brake Light with LED Bulb, Frame Sliders and Axle Sliders. He also had all the original parts both factory...
Yea, it has a really low seat height and is carb'd, but really comfy. Before I took it apart to paint it, I did a little ride 152 miles non stop and it used less than 3 gallons of gas. Should make someone a great bike for commuting this Spring with gas prices going up.
Have fun with the...
Mileage will vary greatly depending on Elevation and Temperature. I can talk about MPG yet as I have yet to get to ride my new to me 07 FZ6.
I know when riding my 09 Versys I get around 41, but that is playing in the twisties and not exceeding 85 MPH in below 2000' elevation. But my old 2001...
Go for it, I have a 2001 ZR7s in my garage as a project now. It really was not in that bad of shape, just faded paint and only 2k miles on the clock. It still had its original tires on it. It just needed a good cleaning and some fresh paint. I am in the process of the paint work, it is a great...
No I did not have to Dyno the bike to know what I can feel at the throttle. Most slip-ons are less than 5% power gain, I doubt you can feel that difference over the rev range. But I think it is a Psychological increase, you hear more noise and think you are going faster.
It does not matter...
