Wanted new bike, need mechanic help on not spotting the wrong one

Hi guys,

as per title says, I will be getting a new bike soon, im after a cbr 600 95+…

As it will be a fairly old bike I need someone to come to have a look at it and truly tell me if its worth it.

I understand the basics of bikes, i can spot good few things, but it is down at the mechanic level which i might not be able to spot those minor things which could ruin my bank account. therefore is your help and input.

Most appreciated in advance.

Regards

thought you were getting one abroad?

would be easier if you start fishing around first and narrow down some choices, then maybe ask for an opinion :slight_smile:

Joby knows an old Honda when he sees it.

Don’t ask MeGroovy!

:stuck_out_tongue:

Where abouts are ya and where’s the bike?

Actually I would. If he’d buy it, avoid it like the plague. :smiley:

:laugh: :laugh:
actually his latest purchase is not too bad. but yes as good measure he’s not the best adviser :stuck_out_tongue:

seriously? f*ck you guys :stuck_out_tongue:

and the VFR has a hole in the collector box, new exhaust needed!

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I know all about keeping a bike going that is on its last legs by spending a fortune on it. I’m probably not the best resource here. I think megroovy’s bikes are guaranteed for 4000 miles then they self destruct.

The one you just bought ?

No sh1t !!! :smiley:

And a pair of Forks. :slight_smile:

i’ve heard he may need some replacement nuts too… :laugh:

OUCH!!! :pinch::smiley:

Thanks very much all of you for your support and feedback,

I was after a cbr 600 96 but after the guy been uncreadibly unavailable, plus he not having the bike at his home address, he was not willing to arrange a viewing with his ‘‘parents’’ and I.

Fianlly responded and said that another person ofered him 350 more than his innitial price. I just think that all of this was a lot of B… S…

Still on the chase, let me know what have you got to offer. :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers guys!

there’s a fire blade for sale in the for sale section :wink:
