I havne't gotten it already, but I dont believe it has 135,000 miles on it. I dont think bikes even last that long, this thing runs well, it doesn't make sence.

They do last that long if properly taken care of, but how much longer than that? I dont know. I wouldnt buy a bike with that many miles. I have seen quite a few people go over 100K on bikes, but I dont think I would want to buy that bike after that many miles.

The only thing I'm worried about is the engine and the frame being good, everything else is annoying but not important. Besides its a cheap bike.

Re: Any one in Nova have 30 minutes to spare??
This is a FZR600. 1992. Its extremely heavy and I can ALMOST flat foot it. I rode a bike today for my first time! It was scary but exciting at the same time. The guy who is helping me ride a bike says it might be too much for me, but I'm still to take the MSF course, or get my permit. The bike is getting picked up and a new starter put in. I wouldn't mind putting on a new rear fairing thing, but thats way later once I got everything else good. IT DID HAVE COOLANT IN IT!!! We filled up the coolant tank and it didn't go down very much at all. The engine ran strong and with the fairings all on it looks decent, especially since I'm sure I'll drop it a few times as the bike weighs about 4 times what I do. Getting use to the throttle is hard and I stalled out quite a few times, but I'm just waiting for the MSF course. If the bike ends up being too much for me, then I'll just sell it for what I bought it for plus what I put in. It really is a great bike though, I'm really excited about taking the permit test and MSF test.... and getting all my gear... I'm poor now though... so if anyone got some old cheap gear laying around... I dont care what color, the bike is black so It doesn't matter to me...
