~$500-700 under the average isn't a steal. it's a GREAT deal though. personally, i think ~$3200 for a titled - in good shape - bike is a steal. if all it really needs is a valve adjustment, then that's a ~$400 job or so. if it's not just valves, you could be screwed.
The rims are also 2007, if he replaced it because they were damaged in the accident it could have been something serious. It says negotiable, so if you can get it for under $3k then would be a steal
yeah i just talked to him on the phone. he kept must have said "all it needs is a valve adjustment" like 6 times. but then he wants me to meet him in harlem.... no thanks. its not because i think i'll get robbed but this looks sketchy... 07 wheels 07 plastics. it just doesnt look right to me im passing on this one
He might think the Yamaha tick is the valves, maybe a mchanic trying to get over on him and he didn't bite.
You can look a bike over and come.to a conclusion if its been destroyed and rebuilt. 9 times out of 10 they just want to put it back together quickly to sell it so they cut corners.
ill give hime the benifit of the doubt and say hes going by what the dealer told him...cus my dealer said i needed my valves done at 16k.....def have the bike checked out by a good mechanic that knows his bikes....its a real good deal and if all checks out ok id get it
