you could probably part it out for more than 500!

I would say throttle response may be better with fi but mostly a maintance deal of carbs but its not that bad and a 99 is still a sick platform.
I may sell mine if some things dont work out for me but they more then likely will.

Part your Ex500 out on E-bay or Craigslist, you'll probably make a little more if you want to put up with the hastle.
Personally, I think carbed bikes suck. FI are smoother and require a little less maintenance. A power commander is easier to work with than screwing with jets and needles.

Both carb and FI have their upsides and down sides. Stock to stock, you will get a crisper response on FI, but you have more (cheaper) options on tuning carb. You can also change gearing and needles and get better response. In the price range you are looking into, you are going to have better luck finding a clean carb'd bike...most FI bikes are new(er) and if they are under $3500 it is typically because there is an issue.
BTW, I have a co-worker who would be interested in buying your non-running bike. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

I had a 99 R6 and no complaints with throttle response from the stock carb at all - great bike - of course it was at sea level.

Past bikes: 2004 Yamaha R1, 2001 Buell M2 Cyclone,
1999 Yamaha R6, 1996 Kawasaki EX500
99 R6 is an awesome bike. It took the 600 class by storm in 99 and never looked back. 2800 is a fair price if the bike is in decent shape. You'll have no problem with throttle response on that thing after coming off of the ex...I promise.

My '99 R6 race bike ran great when I had it, even after the piston skirt broke. Unless you ride in completly different altitudes all the time (sea level to mile high, backand forth) A properly jetted carb bike will be just fine, I wouldn't hesitate to own carbed bikes, oh wait....I do.
BTW the response on my YZ is anything but slow.

No bike is going to take the abuse of wheelies well. If your concern with the bike is stunt ability then you might try hitting up MileHighMadness or DSF clubs that are geared more towards stunting for advice.
However, logistically, track bikes and stunt bikes are differently set up, so you might want to think about what you would prefer a bike to do. If you really want to wheelie, consider getting a torque monser like an SV650 (those are also naked, so less plastic to damage).

I agree with Beotch...No bike stands up well to stunting for long. I'm not a stunter, and I really don't know much about it, but I do know that wheelies cause oil starvation and that causes engine damage. As a result...I just don't do wheelies.
In 1999 on the track the R6 was king, and by a pretty large margin. I'm a pretty decent rider, and the 99 R6 is a way better bike than I am rider. I don't thing you'll find deficiency there. I've not ridden a honda of that vintage on the track, but again, they are all very competent machines and probably better bikes that you are a rider. (not passing judgement here, but I don't know many folks who can actually ride any current 600 to it's limit before they run out of ability)
SOLD! for $750 and a date with his girlfriend :-P
thanks for the advice, Beotch!
Let me thank you again for having me waste a trip to Boulder last night. Gotta love that rush hour traffic on 36! Glad you were able to squeeze $250 out of some other sucker. Smooth move bud!

Did he sell it to you then back out or what?
If you give him a bad trader rating let me know if it works cause I got a kickass deal on a helmet for my pops from dk on here and I couldnt get the trader rating system to work
Yeah, I am the one who offered the original $500. He accepted and we agreed to meet in Boulder at a set time. I arrive, call him, and he informs me at this point that he recieved an offer of $750 and could I match it. After seeing that the bike is laying on it's side in the back of a truck covered in snow and ice I decline to offer any more cash and proceed home. By the looks of it I am lucky I did not part with any of my cash as his Criagslist ad difers significantly from his posts here concerning the demise of his motor.
Can't wait for this explanation. So far it doesn't sound good.
