i am looking into buying this bike for around 700.00 dude says he has to sell it because he is moving and will not have no where to put it at his new house. said he wrecked it on the way home one day but it only slide on one side and didnt flip or nothing like that and says he havent even tried to start since that. think i should get it if it will start up? here are some pics of it bike pic pic 2pic 3pic 4pic 5
yeah i am going to atleast get it to start before i give him any money or if it dont start the price is going to come down. you think anything else is a matter with the bike just from looking at the pics?
I would have to say he is full of poo poo if he said he didn't try to start it... who would wreck their bike and not even try to start it after picking it up or getting it home?
My concern would be that the front is straight. Also if it fell on the left side, check around the gear shift lever see if that works ok (tranny shifts).
Make sure it starts. If the guy is selling for $700 for cosmetic damage, I'd be real suspicious. Take a mech or bike savy friend with you if you can.
yeah i have a friend that i hope will be able to go with me that has owned bikes for awhile. and he said the reason he is selling it so low is that he is about to move and will not have no where to store the bike. yeah i think that is kind of crazy to that he said he hasn't even tried to start it after he put it down. you guys think it would start up after sitting for awhile even with out the crabs cleaned? it would atleast run for alittle while wouldn't it? thanks and keep letting me know what you guys think about it cause this will be my first bike
offer him a max of about $300 and see if he bites. your going to have to put a lot of money into this bike IF the frame isn't trashed. at least with the $300 your only out that much if the bike has to be junked.
