I know we have some days where nothing fills your inbox and I know we have some days where you, the subscriber says “WTF are they thinking?”. We also have days were we, the writers/bloggers/wannabe’s ask ourselves “Is this worthy? Is this what we’re about?” Speaking solely for myself – I usually laugh, open another cold snack and say “Why not!”.
Oh! Behind the scenes we have a secret messaging system that allows us to instantaneously communicate with each other- which makes it much easier for Dan, Donn, Mike and William to make fun of the new guy and to discuss the auction site oddities such as this.
Still sporting the cross-hatch pattern from the Kawi factory or wherever the rotors are milled.

BTW- I’m broke so, don’t go looking for a zero mile 2006 ZZR!
This is what Agatha Christie stories are made of. So many questions…
I’m genuinely curious who would put a snoozer like this with zero collector value on the shelf for over a decade?
Sal-
collectors who pursue “crate bikes”/zero miles examples tend to look for either the first or last year editions and I think this may have been the last year of the model
Addendum: As a collector of “crate bikes” this one looks genuine but zero miles is a bit weird. I have bikes pure crate bikes that have between 2-12 miles but none that are at zero. I would guess one of two things happened here; that this was owned by a former dealer who had the space to tuck it away or the speedo was disconnected for a bit. Neither one is a big issue but i would definately do a vin check to confirm ownership history and talk to the seller.
Bidding ended at $6,600.00, reserve not met.
