would you buy a bike that went down?
looking at an f4i with 18k miles on it. had the fairings painted silver. he dropped it at 5-10 mph. its all chromed up, exhaust, led lights, new brakes, new tires and battery.
would you guys buy a bike that went down? from the pics the bike looks sharp. this is not my first bike. ive had 6 all together but the f4i for me is the best bike hands down. its the total package. |
Depends on the price he's asking, also it'd be hard to tell just from pictures if the handlebar or frame has been bent.
To answer your question: no I'd never buy a downed bike. |
I'd have to inspect it myself. But if it was good, I definitely would at the right price.
Just cause it has all that chrome garbage, doesnn't make up for the fact that it was dropped. |
all depends on the price...
not big on chrome so that just sounds like a waist of money... that low of speed there might not be much damage you can see.. but if he ran into a car, tree, wall,,etc... something might be bent... or even if it went end over end.. i laid my bike down at 30mph it pretty much just slid on the stator cover and frame slider so i got pretty lucky... |
yea i would i bought my 04 f4i w/ 6541 miles for 900 bucks nd u cant even tell it was laid down by revious owner
|
I bought my bike and it had been down. At the time I didn't know what I was looking at but after cruzing CBRF for a while I found out a bunch of stuff and I talked with one of the POs friends and head said it had been down at a pretty good speed. But it runs fine it rides fine and it's 2 wheels so I'm ok with it.

thanks guys
he wants 3200 for it. he dropped it going 5-10mph 3 years ago. its definitely a sexy bike that i wouldnt be mind taking to the jersey shore in the summer. i like the chrome bc it mights the bike look brighter bc the LEDs under it.. |

I don't think I've ever bought a bike besides my FZR 400 that wasn't laid down. It all depends on the asking price!
|
most bikes have been down one way or another, theres no real way to tell if it has or not except obvious damage that can be seen. Just because a bike has been down doesnt mean it was hurt, doesnt mean it wast either tho lol.
Like said all depends on the price n if you like it n trust it. Dont think I've ever owned a bike that hasnt been down b4 lol. |
