Advice? Let me know!
Alright all, so I am in sort of a pickle, no rush here by any means.
I am selling my Ninja 500 and looking to get a F4I. I love Honda and think these bikes kick ass. Anyhow, while looking on search tempest to find the best deal on craigslist, I am in a pickle. I found a beautiful 02 one here **2002 Honda CBR 600 F4i 7800 Miles MINT** Flexible on the price... But I found another 02 with 1500 MILES! All stock. Now my only concern here is, I called about the 1500 mile one (shes asking 4k) says its never been dropped, raced ect. I asked why she is selling, she told me she wants a faster bike, and has? or still has another f4i? weird? She told me she bought it off a kid last summer who was too scared to ride it, and she only put 200 miles on it. I mean 4k for a basically brand new f4i seems amazing. Only trouble is its 3 hours away from me, would this sound suspicious to any of you? Should I wait for more bikes to hit the market for the best deal? |

not much you can do in 1500 miles to ruin, or hurt a bike i would think. Just make sure you do a thorough look over, check the sprockets chain etc, and take it for a good ten plus mile ride, to see if there are any hidden probs, sounds like a sweet deal to me tho.

^ lol weird.....
As long as they have a clean title in hand and you know what to look for in a used bike...not to much to be suspicous of. Try to get a good talk with them on the phone just to feel them out..Use comon sense to cover your ass. Now the mint 2008 R1's i always see on craigslist that are going for $1900, I WOULD be a little suspicious of.... ex. HERE |

She seemed decent on the phone, I still don't know too much about bikes, but she said the previous owner did something with the back seat? so no one can sit on it b/c its a hard plastic now and she has the stock parts. only thing that kinda made me :/ was she said there was a SMALL mark from the seat being put on or something. well see what happens. |
i probably put 200 on my f4i before i sold it....
in parts haha |
sounds like typical craig's list, have her send you the vin and license plate numbers, have the dmv run it to make sure it's all good
|
Well if you do end up buying it, and want to get rid of the seat or cowl (hard plastic piece over seat), let me know :)
