    Eyeballing a bike in Wanganui

    I spy with my little eye, something beginning with S.......

    Is there someone in the Wanganui area who wouldn't mind having a look over a bike for me?
    Being in Dorkland makes it a little hard for me to do it myself.

    I am mainly concerned with the things that are not shown in the photos (bearing movement etc) or that may not be apparent.

    You’re spending 3-1/2 grand. Ask the seller to take to Joe Lett Suzuki and get an appraisal done. They can e-mail it to you, along with an invoice.

    Close enough to the RC-31 in specs to be often compared, but lacking in class so much that the comparison is most unfavourable. "Hey thats cool, what is it, an SV650?" It's just as bad as the "Oh neat nightrider tail light"

    Haha... yeah, but the price is right and if you`re steppin up from a Scorpio, it`ll teach you a few more things. Looks like she`s been treated well... and as mentioned, you might be able to pick it up for 2.5...

    Could be worse... could be looking at a Harley sportster.....
