    He still has the oem mirrors, so I am going to ask him to switch it out. I don't think they look great whatsoever...and the signals don't work.

    Re: Thoughts on this bike...

    Update to my situation...the guy has someone coming by this Saturday to look at the bike and will bring cash...and since I would have to have him ride it all the way to NYC and I can't meet him until the following weekend, this deal looks like its not going to work out...

    someone's trying to close a deal. Don't be surprised if the "guy with cash" never shows up.

    +1. Wil, I assume you offered less than asking. He could be just tryin to reel you in for more money on an impulse.

    Nope, I don't think so. He was not pushing me to come this weekend. He just mentioned it and said he wanted to give me a heads up that it may not be around this weekend. Just a courtesy thing, which I appreciated unlike the fockin' dude that I was supposed to purchase the stupid Yammi from.

    Re: Thoughts on this bike...

    Wil... I'm not money bags or anything but I have never bought a bike
    with a real bank involved... I've borrowed money but not from
    a bank. So basically I'm saying I dont know all the ins and outs
    about dealing with motorcycle loan but can't you get the cash
    before the purchase?
    I assume you know for sure your getting a bike right?

    Otherwise you will always be up against another buyer who's got cash,
    and you are making it hard on yourself.
    Seller's are always gonna gravitate towards cash over letters of intent.

    just my 2 cents... (and 2 cents aint gonna help you get a bike, but hey
    just trying to help)

    Otherwise hit up some of the dealers that have used bikes, they are
    used to dealing with financing and won't be as skeptical.
    Check Bettancourts, Brockton, and GBM.

    No, I understand that. I can get the loan check right away, but I can't pick it up for a couple weekends and someone is going to his place to take a look at the bike and that saves him the hassle of riding it 5 hours to NYC from VA. If it doesn't work out, then it wasn't meant to be. We'll see what happens though.

    I saw that one too...emailed the guy, but he never got back to me. Do you guys think that is a good deal? $6900 for a 06 Raven with 2400 miles?

    Re: Thoughts on this bike...

    i dont understand why he would put GSXR mirrors on it that have turn signals built in and then put flush mounts on the front.

    really nice bike though. i would keep the body work. thats old skool.

    I'ld also size up the guy and estimate how often the thing was bouncing on the rev limiter.

    If he's a flower then the goodies maybe just for show and it wasn't beat to death
