it looks like it is in really good condition. i wouldn't pay that much for it. its been repainted, which probably means that it's been downed before. ask him if you can take it to a mechanic to do a compression test and test if the frame is straight. it's a tough call. $2500 would be a pretty good deal. i wouldnt pay $3000 though.

 

There is always a better bike out there. I paid 3500 for my bike and it had 3800 miles on it. With winter here now, there will be people out there willing to sell for a good price and not so many miles. Patience young jedi, good things come to those who wait. Even if you get it, unless you live in the south, you can't ride now anyways.

 

HaHa, you gotta good point there. However, it did snow down here in Baton Rouge thursday morning. And it finally melted yesterday after the sun came out. All together was about 3.5 inches of that snow CRAP......But even the snow didnt keep us from riding

 

Depending on where you live just get the VIN off the bike and go to your local DMV office and do a search of the VIN history. In most states it will show you thesale datesand how much theywere for.

Also when buying a bike with that many miles the motor is one thing to think of but the rest of the bike has 39000 miles as well. Has the front end been rebuilt ever? Probably not, and that can be a complicated job for a DIYer not to mention one you cant screw up. Are the seals original in the forks, etc? If he did pay that much a few months ago then he paid too much and thats not your problem.

 

Come on guys the bike has 39,000 miles on it. Dude dont pay more than a thousand. If your lookin for a bike and can afford $3000 just like stephens said just wait there are better bikes out there.

everybody thinks a bike with over 20k on it is horrible, we have a member here who's bike turned over 100k, and the bike is as sound as it was the day he bought it, exactly what he said to me! and to f4i mane,, dude 1000? are you serious, wrecked bikes are going for that! dude grab your ears and jerk ha ha

 

I agree with you Lime, 39K isn't that bad, but if you can find a bike with less miles for a better price. Take that one instead. Why drink water when you can have wine. There are plenty of bikes out there to choose from, I am saying don't take the first one that comes your way.

 

i agree with you man, sorry that post did kinda sound blunt. it was more geard for the person telling me that since my bike has over 30k its worth 1g ha ha,, i dont think so but anywho enough rambling.

 

Man if a bike with 39k is only work $1,000.... wow I'd hate to see what mine is worth!! [:-]

 

Dude I got mine a 2002 F4i with 14kmiles for 3100 and its mint! Just keep looking you will find a much better deal
