I found a 2004 Yamaha YZF R6 for only $2600. It’s got less than 2k miles on it and has never been crashed or laid down. This might be the deal that’s too good to pass up.

I know this is an excuse but, I am not any type of speed demon, in any way. Even in my car, I won’t drive more than 5-10 mph over the speed limit. I do have dirt bike riding experience from when I was younger but, it was awhile ago.

I know I don’t really need to ask you to tell me what you think because, I know it’s coming anyway. Besides, I wouldn’t have told you if I didn’t wanna hear it.

Thanks

wow, this is a great deal…go for it!

That would be very tempting. I wonder why it’s so cheap though?

Do you know the person selling the bike?
Is it from a dealer?
Will the seller give you the VIN to check out?

We get ALOT of sport bikes posted on the local classifieds, almost always for that exact price. Inevitably the seller is in another city. These are SCAMs.

Be careful. Even if it is in town and the VIN checks out, take it to a Yamaha Dealership to be looked over before the sale is finalized. I cannot stress this enough.

If everyting checks out and you’ve got yourself a deal, then please, use some of that money saved for full leathers (they sell perforated ones for warm weather)and frame sliders.

Yeah, I think it turned out to be one of the scams you mentioned. I sent the poster an email within seconds of it being posted. I never heard back from them and when i checked the add today, it said it was flagged for removal. So, it was too good to be true. I’m not so sure what the scam was, though. I wouldn’t have paid for the bike before checking all the info out and seeing the bike in person, anyway. I’m looking at a 1997 Suzuki Katana, at the moment. It’s $1500 and right in the town I live in. I’ve been in contact with the seller already and he’s got someone looking at it. If this falls though, I’m done looking and I’m just gonna wait till I get home before I start looking again. I get too excited when I find something I like and they sell it because I won’t pay for it without seeing it, first. Damn, this deployment sucks.

If it’s too good to be true, it generally is. In the event though you do see a smoking deal there’s nothing stopping you from getting it and selling it for a profit or using it as a trade in towards a bike more your size. Make it work for you, don’t work for it.
