Only real "issues" are the 1-2 shift...not because they are problematic, but because they get abused.
In this area, a low miles 03-04 in good shape can be had for $3k with a little careful shopping, 05's are in the 3500-4K range, but again, you can wait till the snow flies and pick one up for 25% less.......

yea the only prob being where im at, the snow never comes lol. ive seen a few in the 3k range, at about 15-20k miles, but if she gets a complete bike that needs nothing, ill try to have her wait until jan or feb to buy for the better prices
so just check usual wear n tear, like any other bike. cool. simple lol

haha yea yours was the first thought, but theres a few around here a couple hundred cheaper(less hassle cuz no shipping) and shes not 100% cash in hand yet, hence the shop around for a month or two.
so all in all, its a pretty good bike. thats good to know. any of you guys on any r6 or yamaha specific forums that arent lame?
