I have been reading a ton of posts on this subject (buying rebuilt bikes) and it goes both ways so often. I have a bead on a bike that has been maintained by a mechanic that works for a salvage company. I would like to know based on the information below if this is a good deal. I want the bike so bad I can taste it, but need a few voices of reason to assist with making a decision to buy or go with a clean title bike:
2004 FZ6
16K Miles
04 R6 Forks and Brakes
Galfer front wave rotors
Hyperpro rear shock and assembly
Scorpion Slip On Mufflers
Full Givi luggage set
Guy bought it in 04 with 475 miles for 1800 and only had to repair fairings, turn signal, motor cap, and brake lever. Frame is said to be good with no issues.
I negotiated to 3300, but he will not go lower even though its a repair title.
This bike is in contrast to a 2005 FZ6 that is the same color, all stock, no accessories, clean title, 14K miles, and a few scratches on fairings (very light) for 2800.
I am off tomorrow and planning on picking up something - any help would be appreciated.
