Hey guys, Little new to the sportbike world so bare with me.
Anyway, I have been looking into getting a sportbike. Today at work, a co-worker had a 93' Yamaha FZR with 23,000 miles on it, (Im an idiot for this) But I forgot to ask its size, up for sale in the back of his truck. I talked to him and he was asking $700 for it. I didnt get the full story because he was interrupted by a phone call and I had to leave, but he told me the engine was blown. The battery was dead so I attempted to see if the engine would even turn over, the battery was dead so I ran back into the shop to grab a jump pack, but unfortunatley that didnt have a charge either so I didnt get a chance to see if the engine would turn. The bike doesnt look like it has been dumped before.
Is $700 a good deal for this bike even with a blown engine, hopefully no more than a piston.
Is 23,000 miles on a bike too many for this year?
What should I basically look over on the bike?
I will ask him more when I got back to work tommorow and hopefully I can see if the engine turns.
Any information that you guys can feed me would help.
