    Pre purchase inspection

    So whats the best way to go about one of these when the bike is in another city? Get him to take it to a honda place? Get a bike mechanic to go to him? Or get some beer thirsty part-time forum whore to go thrash it for me then tells me it goes hard

    Good opportunity to fly down and ride that sexy beast back up the main drag!


    Don't bag the honda...it's a step up from the hyosung!

    I would ring a local honda or other motorcycle shop and ask them to do a inspection getting him to take it to them. It should cost you no more than 30 minutes labour which you should be able to pay with a card over the phone, getting a mechanic to go to him will likely occur a call out charge or charge you for there travelling time.

    Worth finding out where it has been serviced and also ring them for a bit of background.
