What exactly do you consider "the right price"? I think I'm asking a fair price (for both myself and the buyer). And I've maintained it well. PM me if you really want details.

 thats what i got, i bought it with 1000 mile its a 99 and cost me 2500. Fair deal in my opinion. Goes on and off road, good for long hauls if you can sit that llong. You could put a bullet in the thing and it still run. Not to mention it can go as fast as you can handle. The fastest I cared to go was a 100 mph for a couple miles. But then I realised i'd skip across the pathment for a 1/4 mile before i hit a pole or a car at that speed and slowed down.

summit, i mean if the 'price was right' meaning if i had enough to offer what you're asking..
shiek, that's a good looking bike. it'd be fun to haul ass through this desert with that thing. for some reason though, these ninjas and CBRs are looking HOT to me. i want one badly...and have wanted one for a long time, i just haven't come across anybody selling one close to me yet.
you ever ride that thing to the store...?

I ride it to the store to the bars, I ride it down the high way staying at a steady 80. The Honda xr600 was designed for desert racing actualy, mine has the baja kit on it.
Ninjas and the like are nice, but when it comes down to manuvarability enduro has it hands down. Croch Rockets got speed and can lay down turns nice, but they are large and bulky. Cruisers are nice at slower speeds but dangerus on high ways. Someone cuts you off you are screwed.
I feel enduro kinda is the perfect mix.
I think this is about to be my project. I wanna stand wheelies 3rd gear with no clutch. http://members.aol.com/xr650rr/

and put on a Supertrapp exhaust.

rm250 good choice i have an 05
as for the 600 supersports i really don't think thats a such a good idea for a beginner felix. the power those bikes have would make a beginner shit his pants.the gs500f is ok so is the sv650 and the ex500.you can buy a used katana ex500 learn on it for a few months or a year and sell it for the same price.then get a nice looking ninja zx6r.also you dont want a nice bike for your first bike because you will crash it.
also check out sportbikes.net

Lol I was a beginner a few months ago. When i bought it. My first time at a stop sign i fell over. I would stall out at lights. Shit was crazy. Then when i got comfortable on it i would get heavy on the gas. Then i pulled a wheely across a road. Shit my self again. I shit my self on a reguler bassis. Just yesterday was my first real fall and of course it was the only day i didnt wear my gloves. I think i broke or fractured my toe.
