2 Wheels Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Sold my CBR 600 on saturday,,,,,,,,,,made a fair price on it,,,,,,,,,,i was happy ! Today i was going to see a Fazer 600,,,,,yes Barkey, the red one,,,,,,,,The seller was holding it for me all week. I was 15 min late meeting the seller from the time we had agreed. As i was heading in the road i met the bike comming out of town,,,,,,,,,fuck me i thaught. I met the seller,,,,,,,,,,,told him my name,,,,,,,,,,,,he put his hands on top of his head,,,,,,,,right then i new the bike was gone. He said "i'm so sorry sir" I said "but you were holding it for me all this time" He said "i dont know what i was thinking" I said "how much you let it go for?" He said "€1700" I put my hand in my pocket, took out my envelope and said "this is what i was going to give you €1800",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thats £1540 of ye guys money ! We looked at each other in disbelief. I said "a well not to worry" I stayed for a few mins having the craic,,,,,,,it was a nice sunny day. Before i left he vouched that he would keep my number and help me find a pristeen bike. I shook his hand and said "no probs sir" So today i was not a happy boy ! And the search goes on ! I only have my DT now ! and i have a busy summer of biking planed !

Are you planning to use it year round cos them fazers rot like old fruit when ridden in bad weather. For comfort ,miles and reliability the Transalp has it. Nearly bought one myself. Then i rememberd why i ride bikes and binned the idea of a sensible option.... And bought a 250 2 stroke with a build quality rep that makes a Datsun Cherry look over engineered. Hmmm I'll shut up before i get myself into trouble.....
barkwindjammer Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Thats bad luck Pat you didn't get that bike m8-I know your brother had your heart set on it , good luck with the search

Sound lad he was but wouldnt budge on the price ! and now that im home i dont think i would take it even if it was cheep ! Just showes that pics tell ya nothing. Thanks anyway Vic for your help,,,,,,,,,,didnt have time ta look at the transalp !
vic-fzr600 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Ah that's a pity but no point compromising on what ya want. I'll keep looking!
Moderator Cynic Posted February 3, 2011 Moderator Posted February 3, 2011 Ah that's a pity but no point compromising on what ya want. I'll keep looking! Absoloutly, i looked at several TDR's before i plumped for the one i have. Patience will pay off mate. It is good to check the Fazers over as like i said they rot like bad fruit if neglected. I got my TDR through the owners club, anything like that for the Fazer?
