Im going to be getting a bike soon...Preferably a Honda...and i came across this bike with a couple problems for really cheap...and im like ok..wtf isnt he telling me...

Its a 2001 F4i with 20k miles on it i believe...only needs...a battery, the rear tail light, front turn signals, headlight bulbs, and the brake pedal leaver i believe...

it has new tires, and a full devil high mount exhaust

i mean i can probably get it for like 2300...im thinking its a pretty good deal cuz its clean title and all that stuff isnt to bad of a price...i want to go ride it today..just want some input first...thanks

and just in case :uts on flame suit::

heres a pic

 

if ur a new rider id look for a complete bike with no issues.

 

oh...ive had a bike before...Honda 929...
Im not saying im like a pro rider or anything but i dont consider myself a freaking squid too...and i mean i know how to work on bikes...

im just not good with price judging or anything...

 

ask if you can take it to a mechanic? that is what I would do with a car i didn't know

thats what im thinkin...i was like...well...ill price it...

Rear tail light=60
flush mount blinkers=50ish
battery=60
brake leaver=not sure...cant be more than 40
HID's=180ish
Repaint=cost for paint only...DIY

i would repaint it blue/black

 

Im guessing it was down and semi hard?

or is it stolen and put together from a few bikes on a clean title frame?

Hard to beat the price obviously, but I would hold out for something else.

Too many miles for me, personally.

If you like it, it's your money.

That's why I said a lot for me .

They are built very well, you heard correctly.

well if u know how to work on bikes, then id get it, its a pretty good price.

 

I saw that on Craigslist; its local around here. If I didn't have one bike to deal with, I would have picked that one up, sprayed it, fixed the little crap and sold it for at least 4500. Get on that ****!

 

no deal too many headaches!!

 

If there's nothing mechanically screwy, and you can trust the seller, go for it, it's a hell of a deal. As for the last guy who said there are too many headaches, wtf? The only things he listed that are necessary are the taillight, blinkers and the brake pedal, and you can pull those off a scrapped bike or ebay for even cheaper. Battery is regular maintenance, so it's not too much to ask. HIDs and new paint are simply for aesthetics (though the bike now is ugly as a ****)
