Dump 2002 F4i for 2003 R6?

[Damien04]

Alright, a friend at work has offered me a fairly decent deal on a 2003 Yamaha R6, two helmets, and two jackets. This is the Black R6 with Maroon Flames. His bike has 9K miles on it, and has honestly never been ridden hard (I usually ride with him). The bike is Stock, with the exception of a fender eliminator kit. No nicks or scrapes on the bike at all. All service records, etc. Newer tires.

I currently have a 2002 Honda CBR F4i with 15,000 miles on it, I believe it will need a brake job soon also. Nothing else is wrong with my bike, but I think the R6 is a beautiful bike, and really has that nice aggressive look. I can sell my bike here in Florida for around $5000.

My friend is asking $5500 for his R6. So basically, I'm looking at a $500 upgrade for a year newer bike and less miles, and doesn't need a break job.

Thoughts?

umm...thats hard to answer...

it all depends on what YOU like

sounds good except for the second hand helmet.

don't you guys get any kind of safety information over there. second hand helmets are almost as bad as not wearing one.
