That's what irritates me whenever I'm trying to sell ANYTHING. People start pointing out the flaws and trying beat you down further on the price. Hey ****stick, there's a reason I'm only asking a fraction of the original price of the item to begin with.

Had one guy actually ask me if there were any scratches on it before he came and looked at it. HEY reerun IT'S A 4 WHEELER, IT AIN'T USED TO CRUISE DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

I haven't bought and sold that much but when I have nobody has demanded flash cash so far. On the other end I have not had some clown show up for a joy ride either so I just must be lucky.

Yea I am sure the dog was thrilled, walked away unscathed while taking out you and your bike.

Collateral. Don't want some stranger taking your car/bike on a test drive and never coming back.

I didn't know it was a 24-hour deal. I thought a test ride was more or less driving it around the block.

I guess you can't ride along on a motorcycle, too, now that I think about it. It's a little different than a car that way.

You're putting a lot of blind faith in someone else's honesty and riding ability otherwise.

Nah, I was fine. I'm all caught up on my vaccinations.

BTW, the new ZX-14. Granted this is a Brock prepared bike but its still mostly stock, except for pipe, programmer and I'm assuming it's geared. Otherwise stock engine, stock wheel base, street tires.

Actually I am undecided but am leaning towards the zx10, 11, 12 or 14. I think I am just going to be patient and pick up the 14. At an exceptional price I would consider several other bikes though including a Honda VTX 1800C, Buell 1125CR, ZX9R or even a Harley but because of the price I am really trying to avoid the dealership with the Harley. I could be talked into one real easy.

I thought the Hayabusa was the fastest? I used to see a pack of Busas flying on K-10 from time to time. Those dudes were all suicidal.

IIRC the "fastest" is still the '99 Hayabusa at 196 MPH but after that they started limiting them to around 187 MPH, which is still plenty fast.
So now, particullarly over here, the game is how quick they are and it goes back and forth between the Suzukis and Kawasakis.
