First listed about a month ago, the bidding stopped at about $3800. Now relisted, someone give this guy a bit more dough and get a great ride for the season! Links updated, -dc
I know the hardcore collectors on the site will scoff, but those of us who enjoy a solid survivor will enjoy this Kawasaki. Eric emailed and asked us to consider his bike, and I think you’ll agree the pictures make it an easy sell.
2000 Kawasaki ZX9R For Sale on eBay
quote from seller’s listing:
Clean, clean, clean. You will not likely find one cleaner. A lot of people say that, but the proof is in the pictures, this bike is as clean with the bodywork on as it is off!!! I’ve even included photos of the inside of the bodywork removed to prove it is OEM Kawasaki and never repaired. I’m the 2nd owner, the first was an employee of Kawasaki, and I have owned this since 2006. At just over 13k miles, this bike is in mint condition, has never been dow, not even in the garage, has the OEM paint and decals that it came with from the factory, and is all stock except for the white faced guages, fender eliminator, and the suspension which has been resprung for a 180lb rider. This bike is ready to ride and needs nothing.
Truth is I saw Eric’s bike before he emailed us and was planning to post it. While reviews of the day favored the R1, the 9R was noted for handling the twisties as well as it did the day long ride. This example looks well looked after and with just 13k miles is barely broken in. While not necessarily an investment in the short term, this bike is going to deliver — especially at the reserve price the seller has confidentially shared with us.
If you want a legitimately fast ride that’s actually comfortable on the longer bits, bid now. Good luck to the seller!

That’s badd ass! I owned a 98 9r and loved it as much as any I’ve owned. It’s just as described too because I have fond memories of the power to comfort ratio that these possessed. Ahhh, the glory days!
That’s one clean looking 9! I’ve always liked these bikes and this one appears to be a pretty clean one.
Introduced at a time when techno bling powered motorcycle sales, the ZX9R was out classed. However, it was pure hot rod, way more motor than an R-1 (Sport Rider magazine put a ’98 ZX9 into the 9s in the quarter mile and it ran just shy of 170 mph on the top end) and it simply crushed the CBR in any contest of speed. All day ergos made an incredible street bike.
One of the most under-rated bikes of all time.
The 9 was the first street bike I bought for my wife! The only Ninja I really like, smooth power, nice ride, great all around bike. She has a 636 now
Eric always has his bikes at a very high level … both running & cosmetically. This is a great speciman ~ and a great bike!
