Anyone live/nr Chester

Hi everyone,

I'm after a favour if possible. My brother is looking at getting a 2003 Zx6R but doesn't know a huge amount about bike mechanics. Would anyone be willing to go with him and have a look over the bike if he pays you?

Thanks in advance
Andy

Ditto my reply in SWS.

Where is the bike being bought from? Dealer or private?

Private sale, got in touch via a forum a lot like this. Seller has lots of posts on there and seems genuine (he's had a rough time lately and decided to treat himself to a new RSVR!!). He would just like someone to have a look at it thats got more experience with mechanics than him and point out anything obvious.

Hi Andy

Well I don't feel qualified to advise on a bike prior to sale and don't know any local professionals. Do the RAC (or similar) offer a bike evaluation service? I know they do for cars.

The only other suggestion I could make would be to get a local dealer to take a look.

Not helping am I?

Anyone else?

Don't worry about it, thanks for replying anyway. Hopefully someone will be along. Will get him to try the AA & RAC.

I don't mind a trip to Chester to give my opinion, but as Luckypants said, I'm not really qualified to say yay or nay.

The offer stands (and I could show your brother the horns that you are looking at), but I won't be accepting any money for it if you want me to have a look-see (due to it not being a yay or nay on the decision).

At the end of the day, if you don't find anyone else, you can consider me a last option, but your brother should go with his feelings on the bike regardless of who advises him IMO (unless it's a lemon).
