    Buying a used 150R

    by taylorrep » Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:11 am

    My question is what would you ask and what would you look for ? My problem is I can buy a new 08 for $3800 or a used 08 for $3000 would you even take the risk for $800 bucks? Thanks to all for your input and time to read my post.

    Spend the extra 800 for the new one thats a no brainer for the same year bike. That way you know what you are getting into. just my $.02

    been pretty good. just a little tight on the money with whole moving thing. nice to have free places to ride. instead of all pay to ride places like in fl.
