Everyone i know who has bought a used one has had nothing but problems. I know its expensive to get a new one, so just make sure you know who you are buying it from.

You will love it. I spent a lot of years on standups. Get a 93 or newer Kawasaki 550 or a 750. The earlier 550 seized up a lot because they had cast iron piston port cylinders, the later motors were aluminum reed valve. The 650s werent that great and I never really liked the yamaha super jets.
Have fun, when you get it can I come ride it?

I've been looking for a standup for a while, but every one I have seen was total junk. Most people have said please haul that crap away.

two of my nieghbors have those kawi's 65o, those two are the ones i first learned on, whats so bad about them?
I've also tried the 750 and a yamaha fx 1.
i would love to get any of those stand ups i just mentioned but it's slim pickings rigth now. since my budget is gonna be way low i know im buying used. I'm definatly not a fan of buying an older 2 stroke, especially since i most likely wont know the owner, but that seems to be all their is lately. Every thing new is in the 6k range. My nieghbors all got their stand ups for less then 700, two of them even lucked out and got them for free, which im HOPING happens to me lol.
sure you can come over chillin and ride, as long as your bring the yfz for me to ride

i used to be in to the jet ski thing myself .but decided to sell them xpensive sport alot more than quads. i had 01gpr1200 with a riva stage 2 kit in it . the thing was super fast was going to get into racing but wife said hell no! also had a 96xp good ski fast , lots of power for a small ski and i still have my 89kawi x2 in my garage that thing is so much fun. great for doing submarines . its been sitting on the corner for a while since it needs a starter and battery. just be careful what you pick up! stand ups are very fun you can pick them up real cheap just look in the trader.

i dont have the 96xp anymore i sold it a while back . i only have the kawi x2 . the x2 is like a hybrid of a stand up and a seat down ski . there cool , not many people have them any more. you want it? ill prob never ride it again its just collecting dust on the side of the garage.
it need a few parts to run . other wise the motor turns over fine.

The 650s just didnt have enough power to overcome their greater size than the 550s. The 550s were easier to do freestyle on and I never got outran by a 650 on my 550. My 550 I bought new in 93 then I bought a 750 when they came out. It was bigger but it had a lot of power.
I knew a guy that had a FX 1 and it was a cool machine but they are hard to find. Good luck and dont let anyone talk you into one of those sissy sit downs.

500$ and is yours i have the title it has a cover. new 44mikuni carb umibars hydro turf mats i dont have a trailer but you really dont need one as long that you have a truck. two people can pick it up easy . you can get a tote for it to put it in the water.
