Right. I'm About to do it again. Buy a bike without first test riding it.
Its a '92 CBR400RR NC29 Gull Arm, 49,000km bike, and it looks fucking mint. I am actually in love with it O_o
But knowing my luck I'm gonna get it home and next wof I'm going to discover that it has rust on the frame welds, or hairline cracks, dodgy bearing or two, or generally just needs work. Which is money i don't have.
The only reason why I can afford to buy it in the first place is because I'm selling the cage! (i went thru a small stage of actually needing one LOL).
Anyway, more to the point. What do i look out for? what do i ask and how can i be better prepared for the tide of bullshit about the bike that'll possibly come out of the previous owners mouth?
Some ppl will say anything to sell their bike >_< (as i found out with my last one)
Cheers guys/gals ;) !:apint:
