Risks of buying from a dealer

[racefactory]

So buy from private sellers and just carefully judge their character instead?

Dealers can be real sharks I agree.

If (hazarding a guess here) you're talking about the red white and blue CBR250RR at Waikato Yamaha, then I can confirm that its a minter; very tidy for its age. I put 40,000 kms on a bike just like this when I was on a restricted licence (about 12 years ago), so I have a bit of a soft spot for them. And the team at Waikato Yamaha are awesome to deal with. Just go for it; you only live once, and CBRs this tidy don't come up all that often. If I can do the 1000 miler on one, then you can fly up and fetch it. Worth it for the ride. As racefactory said, peace of mind is the point of buying from a dealer in the first place. If you really wanted someone independent to go ride it then I'm sure they'd be OK with me doing that; but personally I'd trust them on this one.

alright sweet i'll try to get the guys at motorcycle doctors to have a look at it and if it checks out that i shall buy it and the dealer is NZ's only Platinum yamaha dealer so im guessing they would have had to earn that somehow lol and no i cant buy closer to home cause its the only cbr250 with the paint scheme that i want and it just happens to have really low km's too so i really want it lol

Thanks for all your help guys i really appreciate it!

Bear in mind that the mcycle doctors only cover the "greater Auckland area"... While I'm sure the fine people of the tron would love to consider themselves part of aucks, they can't, cos it ain't...

Best bet would be to get Carver or the Morman few stunt crew to check it out for ya.

Normally I'd just make a Hamilton joke and say "it's too close (to Auckland)", but... In reality I would hazard a guess and say nup, its not close enough.
