Possible trade
Hey guys,
I have a buddy whos friend needs some extra cash and he made a proposal to me. He asked me if I would trade bikes with him and give him some extra cash.
My current bike is a 97 Honda F3 w/ 19000+ miles it has V&H slip-on exhaust, flush mount blinkers, fender eliminator kit, Hong Kong levers, Zero Gravity windscreen, frame sliders and a DDM Tuning HiD kit. I'm going to need new tires next season for sure and I should get my valve clearance checked one of these days also.
His bike is a bone stock 2006 Honda F4i w/ 14,000 miles. The front tire looks to be at 30% tread life left and the back tire still has about 80% tread life left. His bike also has a crack in the fairing by the right hand mirror and the left hand mirror looks like its close to cracking too. Other then that it looks like its in good shape and sounds good.
As far as looks go I would say mine is in better shape even thou it is 9 yrs older. He asked me if we could trade bikes and I give him $1,600 cash on top. What do you guys think, does this sound like a good deal?
Heres a pic of his bike, you can't see the crack in this pic by the right mirror thou.

To strictly ans your question, *yes* its a good deal, all things being as stated.
Think it over thoroughly. Agree on a date by which a decision will be made & stick to it.
One thing about doing business w/ buddies is...to make sure both of you are 100% in agreement about the transaction, timeline, & paperwork. Even w/ buddies, do all your paperwork at the DMV. That way, there won't be any unfortunate surprises that would strain your friendship.
Good luck w/ your decision.
