About to join the club
hey guys I recently got my motorcycle license and bough a 1983 Yamaha virago 500 as a starter bike and had plans of waiting till the winter season to find a newer better bike but I come along a guy who wants to sell his 06 CBR 600 F4I for $4000 and I wanted to see what everyone thinks about it. He said that he just put brand new tires on it and it has 5000miles on it. The part that I am uneasy about is he said he has lost the key so i could buy the bike at 4k and take the ingestion out and get a key made myself or he will get a key made but then would sell the bike for 4.5k and i have a guy who will take the ignition out for me for about 50 bucks and a called a local shop and they will make the key for about another 50 bucks so doing it myself seems like they way to go but i worry about buying a bike that I cant see run until after I buy it and put work into it. What are you opinions?

new info everyday
So that is what that little tag is for, I have always wondered. Learn something everyday.

Prolly if they lost the keys then they lost the tags. I would suspect that if you have the title and a driver's license with matching names/address then a Honda dealer could look up the code and issue you a key for $100 or so.
Still, not sure how you can even consider buying a bike that you haven't ridden or even heard running.

Sounds like too much pressure to me. I'd recommend taking a pass. The price is
good (not great), there are lots of fish in the sea though. Ride your virago, get your
rookie all rubbed off and look for a new bike next season. Never be in a hurry buying a bike. Lost key also means new gas-cap and helmet/seat lock too, btw.
