Make/Model:
yz426f
Location:
tamworth nsw
Condition:
show room, almost new in appearance
Reason for Selling:
i am selling it for my old man, he doesnt ride it much and would rather the space in his shed than have it sit there.
Price: $4000 ono with spare white plastics + few little spares, fork saver + straps, workshop manual ect. there may be more there but i will have to look.
i am looking to buy a lwb vitara so i am open to a trade.
Extra Info:
it has been owned by a 60 year old motorcycle enthusiest, it hasnt been riden into the ground or punished. he doesnt want to sell it but its a waste to hold on to it as he doesnt ride it much.
this bike is in show room condition, it has been run on 98 octane and serviced every ride without fail with quality oil and genuine filters ect. it has massive compression and has been valve gap checked religously. it has power to match the compression and the power is instantly there when you grab the throttle - it will put a smile ear to ear. sprockets and chain are not very old, tires have great tread, fork seals are in great condition, gripper seat.
you are welcome to come and veiw it, i will start it up and you can look over it and listen to it as much as you like but there will be no test rides.
i may be able to assist with transport as far as sydney for the cost of fuel.
Contact Details: pm me if you are interested.

Looks nice mate, but do you really expect someone to fork out $4000 without a test ride??

Im the same when i sell my bikes, bike theifs do rock up to people houses to look at buying a bike ask for a test ride and don't come back
It's sad really but it does happen
The last three bikes i bought i paid for before riding and they were well over 4gs each

yes, i have bought and sold a few bikes this way and its never been a problem myself or others. i am not prepared to have the potential for someone to ride off and crash it or worse not come back.
name one bike shop that lets you ride an unrego'd dirt bike on the road before you buy it - new or second hand.
if you are buying a bike like this then typically you are educated enough about bikes to spot or hear a problem without riding it.

Ridden bikes all my life, never once entertained the thought of purchase without a test ride. Not into road bikes, no ride, no nothing.
Glad you are smart enuf to be able to look at a bike and know full well its worth, me, sorry, I need a ride.
ps, how do you spot stuffed bearings/brakes, gears etc without having a ride, trully, I would really like to know, its something I recon as I could make millions out of.

Bunch of sooks
I am sure when it comes down to it and you have the money in your hand a ride wouldnt be out of the question, I wouldn't let any random test drive a car I was selling without proof they were serious

I'm sure if someone lets him hold 4k in cash he'd let them test it...
