Help needed: Buying a used FZ-S
Hello,
A friend of mine is planning to buy a used FZ-S which is almost a year and half old. Its showing 8500+ on odo, and the engine performance seems to be fine too. I took a test ride and there we no vibrations whatsoever, had a good pick up and reached 80+ in a span of 10-12 seconds.
The external condition of the bike isnt too good, has rust marks on the foot-pegs, and the shield, a few scratches here and there, and the chain was rusting too. Overall, I can say the owner didnt invest much in the external care of the bike. The owner however says that he has been almost regular with the services, no parts have been changed so far. The tyres look fine too.
The person is asking ~50K for it, however, I feel that its a little too much for the condition the bike is in.
Can you please help us with this purchase on the following points:
1. What other stuff should I check to ensure that the bike is in a good condition?
2. What are the legal formalities to get it transferred? ( it would be same state same RTO transfer, only the owner would change, no location changes)
3. What would be a good price for this one?
4. Any other tips/suggestions.
Thanks.
