Kelly Blue Book gives this bike an estimated value of $5,015.00 dollars assuming normal wear and tear, stock with no upgrades, and estimated mileage of 7,400 miles.

NADA Guides, another used vehicle estimation company estimates this bike under the same condition to have an average sale price of $5,600.00.
Reference http://www.nadaguides.com for more information.
I have added a $500.00 undertail, $100.00 high intensity LED's to the undertail, a $300.00 Hindle exhaust system, $30.00 flushmount flashers on the front, and I am including two HJC helmets and two Alpine Star leather/kevlar reinforced jackets. Just the helmets and jackets cost me $950.00.
Total worth of the bike and included equipment is well over $6,895.00, and that is assuming "AVERAGE" condition.
This bike is in anything but "average" condition. If I had to choose between buying wax to polish her or pay rent, I would happily buy the wax. She is in absolute che
rry condition.
The YZF600R story...
This bike only has 2,500 miles on her, less than half of what it should after two years. She has never seen rain, never been parked outside overnight, never even really been ridden more than once a week. She has never been parked outside of a garage for more than 2 hours and even in the garage I put the cover on her. She's always been bathed at least once a week, and I have loved every second of this bike for the two years I've had her. It's just time for the $20,000 Ducati so she's gotta go. The YZF600R will absolutely destroy R6's and R1's in the twisties and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Over the long haul in a race if you are so inclined, you can also wave at the R1's and R6's as you blaze by them doing a well stabilized 190 MPH while they are crying and trying to hold their bolts together as their tin-can 300lb. bikes shimmy and viabrate them to a blurred vision. This bike has a nice heavy feel to it, can perform with the best of them, and has a very wide wheel base which gives her just an awesome feel in the turns. Dragging is absolutely effortless in this bike.
This bike is worth every penny of $6,895.00, and rather than post it at $6,500.00 and let people bargain and waste time, I'm going to place her for sale at $5,700.00. She's an awesome bike and I am unwilling to bargain her down. I need my new Ducati, so take it or leave it. :-D
Call me if you are interested or e-mail me.
