Going over my tips and tricks to buying a used motorcycle, and what I've done to insure a good deal! If you have any questions leave a comment down below! Cheers Y'all Rich
Another tip is: don't get too excited. I have a problem where I get super excited and start overlooking things or dismissing things. Luckily I always catch myself and end up negotiating to a way lower price. But there's been a few times where I almost bought a piece of shit for the price of a brand new bike all because I was so excited.
one thing ive learned the hard way too look out for buying used is checking the forks/Fork seals, if you can see or feel oil they need replaced!! Replacing the $10 fork seals is expensive work to get done considering a shop has to take the front end apart. Cost me about $350 extra. its not safe to ride with blown fork seals, the oil gets on the break pads and can be bad for braking! Nice video man, looking forward to more motovlogs. Im trying to get into it, all I need is a mic for my gopro! I have a few videos posted. It would be cool If you shared how you have your camera set up if you haven't already done so!
I just bought a project bike today as my first bike since the trans is done on it and i'm sure it's not a great idea but this is also gonna get me more used to working on bikes and i'm pretty excited about working on it.
It happens. There are so many things to look out for when buying a used bike, so many tricks of the trade the sellers use and buyers can use to their advantage it's impossible to fit them all in one video. All in all you did a good job! Chris.
THANKS A FREAKING MILLION FOR THAT GOOD ASS ADVICE DAWG FOR REAL THANKS CAUSE IM PLANNING TO BUY A USED BIKE A GIXXER N REALLY NEEDED HEAR WHAT YOU SAID ON THIS VIDEO
I have always loved those blue/white gixxers. That style is in a 4way tie with: '09 R6 delta box Black/Gold +++ gold rims! '09 R6 Red/White Repsol Honda Im nearing a purchase on a '07 Yamaha FZ6 tho... 3k is a lot better than 5k, for me
Thanks for the tips, when I bought mine I had a friend come with me who rode for awhile and took it for a spin. I didnt know.alot about bikes but he pointed out some things and negotiated with the owner and dropped the price.by about 600 dollars, great.tips that right there.saved me on repairs I could afford because I didnt pay full asking price
Bought a 1987 Yamaha FZR 600 from a dealer ship, bad deal. Once I got the bike home, it had cosmetic damage in places that I didn't notice. Ran fine, though its was a great bike, but ended up selling it for the bike I have now, which is the 98 gsxr 750. I bought this bike because I had interest in it before inspecting it. started fixing it when I bought it 2 years ago, and still having issues. For now on out, I will inspect my next bike. Live and you learn.
I got a steal on my sv, $2800 with tons of mods, free alpine boots, and a free helmet. gotta know how to talk em down! ;) haha really helpful vid man! i wish this was out when I started riding.
I got a great deal on a K4 Gixxer, bought used from the person and like what is said in the video, charachter of who you bought from matters. I got a great deal with an excellent bike in mint condition.
i think first thing before buying bike is not over exciting like you said on vid, you won't get clear judgement because you think you must buy that bike. second thing is to check the papers, is it clear, complete, and not cause you problem when you ride it and get stop by cops. third thing is ask for the maintain papers, how many times the bike goes into maintain on dealer or trustworthy garage. check how close the owner keep their maintain schedule for the bike, for example the bike should maintain every 5mo, and the owner miss every maintain schedules, the appearance might look mint but not the engine inside, better bring mechanic friend with you to verify the engine is good or not because the owner miss their schedule. some official dealer also keep their client maintain records on their server, so you can cross check the papers from the owner with dealer to verify the maintain of the bike. NOTE for the owner, keeping your fix or maintain papers with official dealer/garage stamp can make your bike price stable and not drop much because you can guarantee to the buyer that your bike in good condition.
my first bike was a 92 nighthawk 750. its a little scuffed up but runs great. bought it for 500. replaced the wheels and welded the exhaust and now im about to sell it for 1300 and get a sv650 for 1500. just shows that being patient is key
I actually sold my 4 month old 2014 Honda so I can buy a 13 Yammi that I knew I had the guy on the fence for. I walked TWICE from him n let 2 weeks pass then went n called n said I'm just curious to see what he sold for? Anyway 1 hour later I was at his garaged house with $1k in my sock n the rest to pull out of my pocket n say I will give you this right now n take it home tonight done deal. Had my helmet n jacket n armored pants in truck for 2 nd test ride since it was misting out the first ride. Couldn't really test brakes n trueness of bike. Ripped it around belt pkwy up to good speeds. Pulled cash out n got it $800 cheaper then asking. Walking away does you very well if ur willing to miss out on a bike. I was sweating it but stuck to my guns. 4 th one I was in love with too. Scored
One tip to remember, you're buying a USED bike, not a NEW bike, yes there will normal wear & tear, just like cars, maybe more for bikes ? that is part of why the price is so much lower, in the first place, and exspect to pay more for a bike that is like new, with low miles... Sometimes more than KBB, or NADA normal retail value, if they have one to list, most don't, there just for reference use anyways from a dealer, like said in the video. it just depends on the bike, and how bad you want it ? Remember the seller wants, the most from their investment, just like you would. Yes like he said, do your research, before you go, ask questions before you go, and write down what they tell you, that way if something comes up, you have something to go off, in regards to what they said about the bike, like the maintenance history ect, it's always best to do it in the daylight, not night time too. It's best to get someone, who really knows about the motorcycle to go with, just like he said. Only make offers you can do, and it's best not to make them over the phone, or email, but in person, after looking at the bike, and only give money to hold in writing, with others to witness. Good video, yl
the guy i bought my ninja from, i wish i would have taken all the signs more seriously. i now have the motor out and torn apart, it needs rings and valve adjustment. im running 90-100 lbs of compression. ugh. granted i had put on about 1800 miles with major issues, i shouldnt have been driving the bike at all, in all honesty. and there was lots of dried oil on the bottom of the fairings.
the sliders protect everything unless the bottom fairing flairs like yours does. get under that side and look I bet you'll see some super small scratches
2 bikes for 1100 is it a good idea? a katana and a zx one needs clutch and the other a little tlc. is that a good go to buy and fix on your own? ive asked if theres any other problems but have not gotten a message back yet.
First thing to do is read the advertisement, then go look at the bike and if the seller if honest, make sure they are and judge the owner Then ask why are you actually selling it and yes check the gas tank then check the plastics and go from there, and if they let you, start it up to hear it run
would you recommend carbed or fuel injected for a first supersport? I'm looking at the 2001-2003 gsx-r600's and also the 97-00 gsx-r600's. i live in sunny soCal in the desert so it's pretty much always a decent temp for the majority of the year.
@huskerzGBR thanks man I will! and yeah in a way my dad told me, if it scares the crap out of you when you slide the throttle. Your not going to want to go fast and take it easy.
Thanks man and your welcome !! annyways its a good informativ vid bro . i know the problem with making a video and forgetting to mention things i been thinking about the entire day :d
Planning to buy new ninja 300 r or ninja 600 but I am a beginner rider so but I have riden like small bikes having 150 cc around so shall I jump to 600 or 300 but the thing is I need to drive n long stretch about an 600 odd km so thinking of good quality n milage so plz suggest me I m little confused...
@huskerzGBR great video and advice bro!, i am 16 and am thinking of getting a gsxr600 myself as my first bike, does that sound like a bad idea? my dad said he would train me, hes an experienced rider, having a 1000cc bikes back in his day, i know the basics. i just need the bike to start training. he said he would train me until i get perfect at it. just thought i might ask an owner of a gsxr to get a better understanding. thanks.
i was at a dealership yesterday and i was looking at a car 650f.. id checked over the bike and i couldn't see anything wrong with it, so i was like yeah ill buy it.. shows me the paperwork and and it had a highlighted part on the picture i said whats that and he explained it was a scuff. so i went back to the bike to see the bike had actually been dropped. also the wires had been cut and taped up which i didn't really know if it was a problem the handle bars and pegs where scuffed etc.. anyway he was rushing me to put a deposit down. and he wanted 6 grand for the bike and its a 14 plate.. i know for a fact i can get them brand new for that price near enough.. i just couldn't believe how they expect you to buy it.. and i was trying to get money of the bike but he said no because he will be able to see it for the asking price.. i sure do feel sorry for the lad that buys that bike..
Haha i bought a 93 rm125 ( dirtbike ) which had no spark but i know how to work on bikes and i was super siked cause it had everythign i wanted got screwed over majorly paid 700 bones and still to this day have not got spark out of it. leaning towards replacing the cdi now
Do u have riding experience? A r6 would be a insane first they have over 100 hp but if u have experience u can handle it I started on a cbr600f3. For 6000 u should find a real nice r6 with low miles u can get a brand new one for a few grand more
Long as you feel comfortable and get to know the bike . You should be good . Do you trust your self , can you stay in control ? If you can do those things then your good cause I learned on my old mans 1300 busa . I was afraid at first just gotta be cautious and know that it can go sideways any moment . Just gotta trust your self and don’t be afraid to mess up sometimes .
first bike i been checking out before mine , the entire front exhaust was full of rust , i was like ok i'll come back tommorow gotta talk this one over with my girl, already knowing that i was not going to buy that bike haha :d
all dealers will say that the bike your looking at is "in good shape". I would try look at the bike before I talk to the seller. know what to look out for fault wise before talking
I got a question what happens if the engine is too old or lets say the engine has a high mileage... is it too expensive to replace it? I'm planing on get me a sport bike but that's my biggest fear, I don't want to buy an used bike and spend lots of money to repair it...
For $4.5k you can get 2009+ bike with under 5-10-15k miles. Look around in your area on Craigslist or cycletrader, it's not the best site but it points you in the right direction and NEVER let anybody know how much you want to spend.
+Dave I wouldn't trust them either. whether im buying from private party or dealership, im goin to start inspecting the bike. my first motorcycle came from a dealer ship, cheap price, but bad deal. All in all is ran better once I got everything it needed. My 2nd bike, I bought from someone I knew, it was also a bad deal. Bought it 2 years ago and still having issues. I will never get attached to nice bikes again, unless I know it's worth it.
+DaRealJay Phranchize +Alternative +HuskerzGBR I work for a automotive manufacturer's customer service department. Dude you are better off purchasing a bike from a biker than from an Authorized dealership/franchise. People on bikes are mostly cool to each other or at least you have a chance of meeting such a person when buyng a bike. Dealerships know very well how to cover up faults, whcih they know you will not be able to see untill later. When buying from a dealer, try and get in touch with a client of theirs, and take advise of the after sales tratement. If they care for customers even when they have already sold a vehicle tot hem, trusting them might not be a mistake. If however the after sales experiance of the cust. is negative, this means the dealership is only trying to make money out of sales. If the aftersales experiance is positive, then, they trust their products. Otherwise awsome video man thank you very much.
James meegan Keep in mind that I live in Sweden, in a small town where almost nobody rides a motorbike. A factory new yamaha yzf 125 2014 costs 6000 US dollars in store where I live.
Well, I don't know anyone who are into bikes. Honestly, I'm the only person within my circle whos actually pursuing to ride a bike and all that. Kind of difficult to bring someone who knows bikes along during a scavenger hunt for my first bike bro. :/
+soukatsui go to a local bike night and meet people just because you don't currently ride doesn't mean you can show up and try and talk bikes and learn just don't be a jack ass about it and act like you know everything about them
also you might wanna see if the guy is say 18 to 30 he probably ran that thing like a bitch. I would rather buy from an older guy. they tend to take care of there stuff a little better a,d don't run them as hard.
+MOHAMMD Al-helo dunno the rules in Canada, but most places if you are 16, you can only drive 125cc, and 600cc is when you are 18. It says in dept the limitation of the bike on the driving lincense. (In my country its 15hp, and 125cc on the A1 license)
This guy: Oh no, it looks like it may have been dropped on the sliders in a garage. May not buy it Me: Buys the same bike with cracked fairings and a flat tire lol
Another tip is: don't get too excited. I have a problem where I get super excited and start overlooking things or dismissing things. Luckily I always catch myself and end up negotiating to a way lower price. But there's been a few times where I almost bought a piece of shit for the price of a brand new bike all because I was so excited.
Check inside the fuel tank, there might be rust!
I had a bike where the gas lid won't open.....
When i sell bikes i'm completely honest.
good man
That's also what dishonest people say.
kegrv Greyd good for you??
This is great. Pfister for the win. But I believe it was sarcaam
pfistor but he doesn’t have a reason to lie right now

Im trying to get into it, all I need is a mic for my gopro! I have a few videos posted.
It would be cool If you shared how you have your camera set up if you haven't already done so!
You can easily change fork seals
GSXR Rider22 yea you got ripped of royally bro :D
Lol your mechanic ripped you off bro lmfao you got screwed
M.L 350 is pretty standard price seeing as the whole front end has to come off plus the new part, fit and reassemble of the front end
I just bought a project bike today as my first bike since the trans is done on it and i'm sure it's not a great idea but this is also gonna get me more used to working on bikes and i'm pretty excited about working on it.

I am buying a 2003 Buell Lightning XB9S second hand. I'm a new rider and I will be taking a rider safety course this spring. I am so excited!!
liked and subscribed, all your videos are great, keep up the good work !
THANKS A FREAKING MILLION FOR THAT GOOD ASS ADVICE DAWG FOR REAL THANKS CAUSE IM PLANNING TO BUY A USED BIKE A GIXXER N REALLY NEEDED HEAR WHAT YOU SAID ON THIS VIDEO
This video was really helpful. Thanks!
Very nice vid man, helpful 100%
I have always loved those blue/white gixxers.
That style is in a 4way tie with:
'09 R6 delta box Black/Gold +++ gold rims!
'09 R6 Red/White
Repsol Honda
Im nearing a purchase on a '07 Yamaha FZ6 tho... 3k is a lot better than 5k, for me

yeah that was my thought, the idea of cold starts is what I like. but thanks for the info
I got a steal on my sv, $2800 with tons of mods, free alpine boots, and a free helmet. gotta know how to talk em down! ;) haha really helpful vid man! i wish this was out when I started riding.

Thanks for the tips man. Its crazy here in Vegas, people listing bikes way over blue book. And most of them are wrecks. Wish me luck.
love your voice.. you could be like a radio DJ .. ;) great tips by the way!
Awesome video Boss - thanks! Any more resources you'd recommend to learn more about maintenance in depth? I'm a total beginner.
i think first thing before buying bike is not over exciting like you said on vid, you won't get clear judgement because you think you must buy that bike. second thing is to check the papers, is it clear, complete, and not cause you problem when you ride it and get stop by cops. third thing is ask for the maintain papers, how many times the bike goes into maintain on dealer or trustworthy garage. check how close the owner keep their maintain schedule for the bike, for example the bike should maintain every 5mo, and the owner miss every maintain schedules, the appearance might look mint but not the engine inside, better bring mechanic friend with you to verify the engine is good or not because the owner miss their schedule. some official dealer also keep their client maintain records on their server, so you can cross check the papers from the owner with dealer to verify the maintain of the bike.

+Austin Johnston My second bike was a nighthawk 750. EXCELLENT BIKES. Fuck honda for discontinuing such an all around great bike
Nice. The video helped a lot. I'm going to be buying a used CBR 600 rr or an R6. Thanks again.
George Dimou done yet?
also make sure to check the tyre profile , chain not hanging loose , and breaking discs because those may cost you a lot of more extra money

original exhaust may also give away what kind of rider the previous one was all weather yes or no . original exhaust can rust well the front does .
I’m new to riding (getting my CBT next week so will be in the road from Monday) how do you avoid going into neutral from 1st gear to second?
hey how can we know if the engin is ever been opened for ninja 300.
2 bikes for 1100 is it a good idea? a katana and a zx one needs clutch and the other a little tlc. is that a good go to buy and fix on your own? ive asked if theres any other problems but have not gotten a message back yet.
what does #3 mean at 1:30 ? if whats broken then its a stunt bike? good tip about judging the owner.
First thing to do is read the advertisement, then go look at the bike and if the seller if honest, make sure they are and judge the owner Then ask why are you actually selling it and yes check the gas tank then check the plastics and go from there, and if they let you, start it up to hear it run
Hey I was wondering what year GXSR you have? The one shown in the video
how much do you think is a good price for a 2007/2008 suzuki gsxr 600? What price would be too much for that year model?
Tires? Fork seals and dust whispers? Stations? Clutch?
would you recommend carbed or fuel injected for a first supersport? I'm looking at the 2001-2003 gsx-r600's and also the 97-00 gsx-r600's. i live in sunny soCal in the desert so it's pretty much always a decent temp for the majority of the year.
@huskerzGBR thanks man I will! and yeah in a way my dad told me, if it scares the crap out of you when you slide the throttle. Your not going to want to go fast and take it easy.
Thanks man and your welcome !! annyways its a good informativ vid bro . i know the problem with making a video and forgetting to mention things i been thinking about the entire day :d
Planning to buy new ninja 300 r or ninja 600 but I am a beginner rider so but I have riden like small bikes having 150 cc around so shall I jump to 600 or 300 but the thing is I need to drive n long stretch about an 600 odd km so thinking of good quality n milage so plz suggest me I m little confused...
vishnuprasad hanchinal well for me. 600 . Ur welcome
In the process for buying my 1st bike I'm just kinda lost on miles I know it's way different then a car so what's high mileage for a bike?
@huskerzGBR great video and advice bro!, i am 16 and am thinking of getting a gsxr600 myself as my first bike, does that sound like a bad idea? my dad said he would train me, hes an experienced rider, having a 1000cc bikes back in his day, i know the basics. i just need the bike to start training. he said he would train me until i get perfect at it. just thought i might ask an owner of a gsxr to get a better understanding. thanks.
Thank you sir..
"I am Oz. The great and powerful. Who are You?" :)
If the seller had the bike warmed up by the time you got there, run!
Check the engin temperature so you know if he prepared something
yeah you realy well done when you say that you must not informate the deeler that you are exiting
i was at a dealership yesterday and i was looking at a car 650f.. id checked over the bike and i couldn't see anything wrong with it, so i was like yeah ill buy it.. shows me the paperwork and and it had a highlighted part on the picture i said whats that and he explained it was a scuff. so i went back to the bike to see the bike had actually been dropped. also the wires had been cut and taped up which i didn't really know if it was a problem the handle bars and pegs where scuffed etc.. anyway he was rushing me to put a deposit down. and he wanted 6 grand for the bike and its a 14 plate.. i know for a fact i can get them brand new for that price near enough.. i just couldn't believe how they expect you to buy it.. and i was trying to get money of the bike but he said no because he will be able to see it for the asking price.. i sure do feel sorry for the lad that buys that bike..
Haha i bought a 93 rm125 ( dirtbike ) which had no spark but i know how to work on bikes and i was super siked cause it had everythign i wanted got screwed over majorly paid 700 bones and still to this day have not got spark out of it. leaning towards replacing the cdi now
How many miles did you buy it at?
i want to get a yamaha R6 as my first bike. i want to spend at most 6000 for it. what mileage/year could be reasonable?
Do u have riding experience? A r6 would be a insane first they have over 100 hp but if u have experience u can handle it I started on a cbr600f3. For 6000 u should find a real nice r6 with low miles u can get a brand new one for a few grand more
Did you ever get a bike?
Long as you feel comfortable and get to know the bike . You should be good . Do you trust your self , can you stay in control ? If you can do those things then your good cause I learned on my old mans 1300 busa . I was afraid at first just gotta be cautious and know that it can go sideways any moment . Just gotta trust your self and don’t be afraid to mess up sometimes .
Learned on a hayabusa? Whoaaa
first bike i been checking out before mine , the entire front exhaust was full of rust , i was like ok i'll come back tommorow gotta talk this one over with my girl, already knowing that i was not going to buy that bike haha :d
all dealers will say that the bike your looking at is "in good shape". I would try look at the bike before I talk to the seller. know what to look out for fault wise before talking
what do you mean by steering stop by the triple tree
I got a question
what happens if the engine is too old or lets say the engine has a high mileage... is it too expensive to replace it?
I'm planing on get me a sport bike but that's my biggest fear, I don't want to buy an used bike and spend lots of money to repair it...
What year is your bike?😍
is 19000 miles alot for a 2008 gsxr 500 the guy says it needs new battery and carbs cleaned and it will be good to go i mean hes only asking 900
thanks for the tips. what is considered high miles for a 2005 cbr. f4i. i am looking at one with 16k. asking $3800. bike is stock and clean.
+Rain Maker That seems appropriate, but try to bring the price down nonetheless!
Hey, Gud vid ,and can I get a reply from the guy who uploaded the video, coz I wanna talk about his bike
I love how people who sell their bikes tell me about the bad stuff first like hey it got scratches
Good video some nice original tips there.
Buying used bikes is tough because most have been dropped and have hidden damage
My budget is $4500. What kind of cbr600 (like mileage) can i expect with that budget.
For $4.5k you can get 2009+ bike with under 5-10-15k miles. Look around in your area on Craigslist or cycletrader, it's not the best site but it points you in the right direction and NEVER let anybody know how much you want to spend.
Can some one help me because im thinking of geting a 50cc bicke. And i dont know if i shuld get a yamaha tzr50 or aprilia rs50 plis help me thanks
I will overtake you on my 125cc, while I'm doing a wheelie.
a 50 cc lol nice lawnmower
What are the white pegs for on both sides near the front?
Frame sliders. If you drop the bike, they'll take some of the impact so you don't get your bike scratched or something.
Oerba Yun Fang Thanks!
What about buying used bikes from the dealership? Should we blindly trust them?
+Dave I wouldn't trust them either. whether im buying from private party or dealership, im goin to start inspecting the bike. my first motorcycle came from a dealer ship, cheap price, but bad deal. All in all is ran better once I got everything it needed. My 2nd bike, I bought from someone I knew, it was also a bad deal. Bought it 2 years ago and still having issues. I will never get attached to nice bikes again, unless I know it's worth it.

When buying from a dealer, try and get in touch with a client of theirs, and take advise of the after sales tratement. If they care for customers even when they have already sold a vehicle tot hem, trusting them might not be a mistake. If however the after sales experiance of the cust. is negative, this means the dealership is only trying to make money out of sales. If the aftersales experiance is positive, then, they trust their products. Otherwise awsome video man thank you very much.
500? I'd have him take the bike in and get it checked out just to make sure. Is a low price though, just be careful man!
Video is vague, could do with more content maybe a check list and an in-depth inspection of the bike.
Is that Suzuki for sale
+Ilikcheese3 I think that's his personal bike
what would you say would be to many miles on a motorcycle?
All depends on the owner. but usually around 50,000 miles
Average used motorcycle has 10,000-24,000 miles that's ok mileage but I say more than 50,000 is a no for me.
Depending on the bike, harley...70-80k miles, depending on work done, sport bike..I stay under 20k on early-mid 2000s..
Is a Yamaha YBR-125cc 07 for 1000 dollars a decent price?
Naw 850
James meegan Keep in mind that I live in Sweden, in a small town where almost nobody rides a motorbike. A factory new yamaha yzf 125 2014 costs 6000 US dollars in store where I live.
Erik Rognes ya 1k for 125cc seems ok . where im from that same bike would be 2.3 or around there
Check k for oil residue on your forks, if there is, seals are bad!!! I've never even ridden..c'mon maaaan!!
whats a lot of miles for a bike, is it the same like cars
A lot of miles in my opinion is about 50,000-65,000
Cool thanks is that like when a car gets to 100,000 it just starts going bad
+Juan Pablo Gonzalez S. V. Actually depends on the car m8 some will last you 300k (rare)
I wish my little escort could do that...
idk if its too late but for sports bike i dont buy if its over 30000

Leave the stickers they give u extra 🐎 power
yea you do that id tell you to beat it kid
Well, I don't know anyone who are into bikes. Honestly, I'm the only person within my circle whos actually pursuing to ride a bike and all that. Kind of difficult to bring someone who knows bikes along during a scavenger hunt for my first bike bro. :/
+soukatsui go to a local bike night and meet people just because you don't currently ride doesn't mean you can show up and try and talk bikes and learn just don't be a jack ass about it and act like you know everything about them
also you might wanna see if the guy is say 18 to 30 he probably ran that thing like a bitch. I would rather buy from an older guy. they tend to take care of there stuff a little better a,d don't run them as hard.
Buyers will go to the rip off dealer and pay top dollar but want a killer deal from a private owner even if the bike is excellent.
Can a 16 year old have a 600cc bike what are the ages of bikes?
depends what state you're in
Non I'm from canada
+MOHAMMD Al-helo sorry to hear that.
+Jalen Anderson why??
+MOHAMMD Al-helo dunno the rules in Canada, but most places if you are 16, you can only drive 125cc, and 600cc is when you are 18.
It says in dept the limitation of the bike on the driving lincense. (In my country its 15hp, and 125cc on the A1 license)
This guy: Oh no, it looks like it may have been dropped on the sliders in a garage. May not buy it
Me: Buys the same bike with cracked fairings and a flat tire lol
I just bought this bike for 7 grand 😞
Lol i got my 750 for 4
Looking at a great 03 600, 17k miles, asking 2700, shooting for 2400.
Would love to see what BS a dodgy seller comes out with if you say you don't know a thing about bikes
so you're saying try your best to short change the seller.? you're that guy....
