Raw stainless. I wasn’t crazy about the black exhaust actually. As much as I like the all blacked out look of the bike, I felt it looks too plastic-y. I feel like the polished black would be annoying to maintain so the raw stainless was my jam. That way I can let it blue up a little between washes and give it a once over with scotchbrite if I ever feel the need to freshen it up.

 

10/10

i love the stainless

sure if neglected they dont look better, but if well kept the stainless pipes age really well

i feel like the black is easier to maintain though

 

speaking of stainless harley davidson pipes, one of these guys i follow just posted up a video today where he reused a HD pipe on a ninja stunt bike
this guy brian636 puts out a bunch of good stuff, plenty of kooks out there vloging these days, but this dudes content is legit if you are into real life real time action with a healthy dose of sensibility

Dammit that’s the ONE other bike I’ve been looking for and in that color

 

those late 90s early 2000s ninjas where great looking bike
I do like the 04-05 ninjas, but from 2006 and up they just got uglier and uglier if you ask me

 

The zx6r was great from 2005 to 2008 in my opinion. Ok before, less ok after. I love the zx7, 91 would be my year though. White green and blue with that pink and purple NINJA on the tank and the tubes… glorious…

 

damn you are right, the early 90s with the 2 round headlights..... how could i forget those!

 

this thread here has a lot of great vintage pics:

It looks pretty clean. Not a bad price considering the market.

 

uuffff

Wait, you're in WA now? If you ever end up on my side of the state, let me know

And if you haven't done Chuckanut drive between mount vernon and bellingham, do that on the bike.

Or a longer but still day trip, take highway 2 over to twisp through the north cascades, absolutely beautiful.

 

Remember to not drive that on the east coast between November and April.. or else it will rust away!

@FreshOldTaco knows this. @loosnut too

 

One day I will get a touring type bike and do that loop. I've driven all the roads plenty of times and it is gorgeous but to do the whole thing in a day on a bike would be amazing.

I can't believe the crazy assholes that do the North Cascades on bicycles.
