My 650R is running like a champ, but I'd like something sportier, but nothing SS for insurance reasons.
I can get a 06 ZZR 600 for $2800, should I go for it?

650R to a ZZR 600?

Since I don't have anything else with State Farm, like a home and car(s), they are very expensive for me

I have no car/home or any other kind of insurance with SF other than my motorcycle policy.
I'm paying 1800$/year for full coverage with fire and theft.
It might a little high to others, but to me it was the cheapest quote I found on a 750 SS.
Since I drive a company car and therefore I don't pay car insurance, I can justify spending $150/month on my toy!

Yea, that's a little high in my mind, but it depends on how much you're willing to spend. Some are willing to blow 4Gs+ a year... But I'm not one of those people.
It's an 06 ZZR 600 and has 21,000KMs for $2800. My 650R has over 60,000KMs on it, but still runs like a charm.
I hear it's lots of work. I haven't done cab work before, although after reading/watching a few vids it doesn't seem that hard to clean the jets, adjust flow control and float height. More time consuming than anything. Other option is the pay someone to do it... LOL
Personally, I don't like the look, but at that price, it's definitely a great deal.
IMO, it's too good to be true, makes me think that there's something wrong with it.
Don't think because you're buying from a dealer that the bike is bulletproof.
There has to be a reason why they're selling it for $2K +/- below the market value.

The 06 ZZR 600 is the exact same bike as the early 2000's ZX6, so while it will be much more sporty than your 650, it will also be less comfortable.
I spoke to the guy and he "seems" honest, but I don't know him so....
He's actually a car dealer (12 years in business) and got this bike from an auction house. The left fairing has light damage, so his plan was to fix it up and sell it for more, but it's now the end of the bike season, so instead of have it hanging around, he just wants it gone. He figures it was an insurance job, because it has minor fairing damage. I'm not concerned about minor fairing damage because I can get another fairing, if indeed that's all that's wrong with it.

I've ridden the 600 and it's a great bike. But I LOVE the look of yours. I'd keep the 650 until you feel the need for a liter bike at least.
that's def a good deal for the bike. Carbs aren't really a big deal as long as you store it properly and running fuel stabilizer through it before storing at the very least before storage. You'll never need to clean them out of you took the preventative measure. Does the thing start at all? If not and all it does is whine then you can be sure your carbs are gunked up. I personally hate the look of it too, but I'm in a similar situation as you.
Let me know if you have any questions about the bike itself

I saw the ad. on kijiji... Damage is minimal, shouldn't be a problem fixing it.
Just make sure the bike has a clean title.
VIN# and purchase a UVIP from the MTO.
Or you could just ask the seller.
