Hi - new to this group and looking at a SB6 yr2000 with just under 9K. Had a look whilst it is being sorted in the dealers and it looks - well a bit battered. The gold anodizing on the fork lowers and the Brembos is worn. The rear shock remote reservoir has a gouge in it. There rear ally sprocket was shredded - and the drive sprocket was practically gone - it look more like a milling cutter - the garage reckons it was the original due to the difficulty in replacing. Ally mesh tie wrapped over the rad. Having not bought a 22 yr old bike before I was expecting some wear and tear but for a supposedly exotic marque from a collection . . .with under 9K?

Depends on price and how you genuinely feel about it.
From what you are saying it doesnt sound to good
Did they have alloy sprockets? Think my 6R has steel sprockets
