Like the title says, A friend of mine has a 04 suzuki 600 for a really good price, But has been layed down any ideas on how to look for major damage such as the forks being bent, Bike still looks good just has scratches on both sides. Thanks

Go for the 07 CBR 600. The Lightest 600 production bike as of 2007. I have one and have had so much fun on it. I already put about 4k on it since October.
