    He may have paid less than the buy now but we have no idea what the reserve is.

    ha.. not 'may have paid less' - We know that he paid 4010.00 for it. And reserve is about 4,200 I think.. from my calc skills.

    I would def offer him around 4,000 for it even try for less, 3,800 and then you have coin left to transport it or ride it down. transporter will be 450.00 max from napier to chch I think riding it may be a more than that? depends how much gas you chew through and how much fast food you munch on.

    What if he purchased a "mint" bike and it's fucked? Might have some sneaky big accident damage

    ha. not impossible. He is using the same photos as used from the previous owners listing might be hiding something.

    On his listing he just says rode it for 500kms and decided to keep his V Strom. Doesn't seem like a sane lad to me. Best to offer him 3,500. Thats what I paid for my '97 best purchase ever.
    I had a 89 ZXR750H1 for a neat 1000.00 as well.. gotta buy while the buyings hot!

    Does your one lift the front wheel easily in 1st or 2nd gear without the use of the clutch?

    I'd say there's something rather wrong with the 'Blade... cracked frame maybe? Could make for some interesting handling.

    Either that or the rider managed to scare the shit out of themself and now they want to flick it off quickly.

    Could be that too.
    It's a bit of an odd one. I'd like to check it out, if it's as tidy as they say then it's probably a good deal.

    lol yea I'd say he was genuine man.. can always ask for recent photos of it.

    I recon he really did buy a blade to see if he could move up from the old v-strom but realised shes a bit different. Blades not really a sport tourer/adventure bike lol. And its not a lazy twin either.

    If its as good as the previous owner listed when it sold for 4k I'd say its a solid investment. has the alarm and all the original gear, manuals, 2 keys etc. you prob wouldn't lose money on it and you could have a lot of fun on it smokeU

    I'm watching you.. buy a blade.
