After my accident 3 months ago (thanks to some c***t) and now being fully recovered i’m starting to look in buying another bike but being on a tight budget i’m considering a bike with previous history either cat c or cat d.
i’ve seen and missed what it seem to be real bargains on ebay and other web sites but i’m still a bit unsure if this is too much of a risk or if i should gamble!
anyone with experience with this issue? what should i look for?
Here’s a picture of my beloved bike after the accident:crying:
CAT D is mainly just cosmetic so probably mainly just fairings anything CAT C has to be inspected before being put back on the road, if your buying CAT C just make sure it has had all the relivant inspections CAT D just make sure its not a ringer check all the numbers chassis and engine make sure they match the log books and dont look dodgy ie re stamped.
To be honest if I were you bung someone a drink to go look with you and if it aint right walk away, you will find something eventually…
It was a write off by the insurer and the picture doesn’t show but its actualy the engine holding the frame!! The frame split just behind the the top yoke!!
