Tomo Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1 Views please. I am happy that it is from a dealer. The security I am not sure on the mileage. Would this be considered normal or high? Not all MOT and most of Service? Would you be concerend by this? Other than the fact it will mean a lower purchase price and a lower sale price pending that I can keep it shiny side up Thanks *EDIT* Just called the dealer going to call back in a couple of days and they will dig all the paperwork out for me. Also if anyone is in the Swindon area and could have a look round and a test ride for me. I am looking at comind down on sunday to have a look round it.
chrisw Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 It is high but don't let that put you off to much it'll still have plenty of life in it. You just get to by it at a bargain price. If you do get it though it would be wise to give it a good going over, a few things to consider on such milage bikes are to check wheel bearing, fork oil may need replacing, rear shock could be worn, so you could end up replacing these. Saying all that I've got a 2004 R6 and it's got over 30k miles on it, the motors still as strong as ever (it should be) and the suspension is still ok, worn slightly I'm sure but not enough to warrent replacing.
Boozehound Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I agree with Chris about the mileage - if it's been well looked after it'll be fine. Brings a tear to my eye that, as it's the same as my nicked R6. That had 19000 miles on it and I never had a single problem with it. If it's good, buy it. You won't regret it.
Tomo Posted February 2, 2007 Author Posted February 2, 2007 Thanks for the comments. As for top price what do you think that would be? I was planning to go and look at the bike this weekend even though I would not be able to ride it. Fortunatly one of my drivers was delivering in the Swindon area today and was able to go and look and take it out for a ride for me. The comments were that it is a good clean bike with no other marks than you would expect from the age and mileage. Well maintained etc. Think I am going to go for it that way I will have the incentive to pass
Tomo Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 Well that puts pay to that iea. The wonderful seller decided to end the auction early. Thanks for nothing. But if anyone has a blue and white R6 no older than 01 up to £3k waiting
Kitty-Cat Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 try and get an 04 or later! or better still a brand new one on 0%apr!
