    Yep it has been listed before many months ago as well. I would certainly be wary.

    I'd be looking at this one if it were me. Original & low K's, one owner and it doesn't scream "look at me".

    IMHO at those kms that is too much coin. Nothing wrong with a well maintained higher kms bike but for the right price. Also, at those kms-is there a record of the suspension being serviced-often overlooked. The advice over getting the bike carefully checked over presale then offering the $$$that suit you are sage indeed. The vendor can only say no!

    Nice looking bike (in a kind of loud way) but I think I would cap what i would spend on it at $7-$7.5k.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    Thumbs down Decided not to buy

    Hey guys,

    After considering a lot of your input including that of a few that PM'd me I have decided not to buy the bike. As much as I like the look of it I think the k's are a bit high for what I need to pay and a few other issues.
    Next in my sights are these 2 bikes:

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=468858166

    He will take $7,500 if I get rego. He has owned it for 2 years, will come with new WoF, has dropped it before and has a couple scratches and marks. Good thing is this one has done 18,000km and is an 08'. However he has very little service history as apparently a good mate has serviced it for him while he has owned.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-469207401.htm
    Will take $7,500 also and come with new tyres. Still finding out more info atm.

    Since you were all so wonderfully helpful before I think it is a good idea to run it passed you guys, if any of you know these bikes please post or PM me. All input is much appreciated

    Thanks again,
    Jordan.

    im sure its been said before, the way its been serviced/service history and proof of that is more important than kms/age

    good luck

    Great bikes-a few known issues-stator-reg/rectifer=but dont let that put you off. It is a k7-even if ist reg in 08. Again get it checked carefully as it is important to service these AT LEAST by the suzuki service schedule. A drop should not put you off buying it-WITH A CAREFUL PRE purchase check. This bike has been on TM for a while-$7500 With 6 months reg? He would be mad to say no.
