Hi - Looking at poss buying a gixxer4 next year - so just a general question or two

Whats the spares sit like - I'll assume consumables are not an issue

Any known weaknesses - walk away if ???

Thanks

Hi, plenty of spares and service items.
Its the same as any getting old used bike the more you pay the cleaner the bike.
If it wont start, idle and rev cleanly you wont know what needs doing until its home!
Check tyres, chain/sprokets, brakes etc or remember to budget for these.
Common sense really.

I have just got hold of two. Both bought at a distance, both been owned by neanderthal simpletons and mummy's boys, loads of nasties to great me on their arrival that wasn't mentioned etc, etc. Been a pretty nasty business all round, as everyone I come across seems not to be able to tell the truth anymore. I have my work cut out!

So why not walk away then?

Hard to walk away from somewhere when you aren't actually stood there!

i went buy one a few yeas ago, nothin like it was on eBay should walked away coss of how much he wanted (rip off) took it any way.

ya win some ya lose some

i payed 600 for it working took the end pipe off sold the engine and keep a few bits broke the rest.

then payed £260 for the one i got all works good nick esp forks looked like new.

slap the end can on all my track bits sold my other one.

story is ya win some ya lose some. most i ever payed was 800 lowest 260.
also it way cheeper to buy a non runner for parts then to buy the part

plenty out there if ya lookin for a road one. no rush
