Someone locally has a RF600 for sale and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular motorcycle.  Looks really nice, but doesn't appear to have a lot of information  on the internet about it.  Thanks for your help.

Destro is from KC!

Sweet!  I didn't know anybody else on this board was from here.  

Maybe we can ride sometime after I get my bike back together.

I live in the West Plaza area.

Sorry to jack your post.  I've never heard of the RF.

That's OK, I'm actually still looking for my first bike.   I'd like to have a gs, but they seem to be few and far between.  I live up by North Kansas City Hospital.  I used to live off of 39th by KU Med before I got married.  I noticed you were on here, but didn't offer to ride since I had no bike.

Dude, I'm a pretty new rider too.  And I just looked at my bike about an hour ago and the engine is apart and it looks like a dog chewed on one of the pistons.  I got my GS from Maryland and had my brother trailer it home to find that it had basically no piston rings.  It ran, but w/not much power and LOTS of smoke!  

So it may be a while for me too!  I'll PM you when I get my crap together.  

Also, I love 39th street!   I ate at Da Bronx Deli this weekend!
I'm at 50th and Ward Parkway.

I bought my GS from a guy that lived in KC.  Isnt the RF the early GSXR?  I think it is but Im not sure.

i ve heard that the rf is not a bad bike. they dont make em anymore and parts are getting scarce for them.  the rf900 is known to loose second.

RF was no GSXR ... made 91 or 92 - 95-96 it existed inparallen with the GSXR and the Katana and later the B6 ... Easy to see why it got killed. I believe it was suzuki's first down draft head bike, prompting that Chuck Graves guy to stuff a RF9 motor in a GSXR 750 frame and run it in formula extreme or somehting ...
Cool.

They were known to be a bit on the heavy side, they have more plastic than a katana and were water cooled I believe.  Kind of a bastard child of a gixxer and a katana.

All the Suzuki oil boilers will lose 2nd if you're hard on them.  Same's true for the earlier water cooled gixxers too.
