Purchase Day Pointers?

[Guest DREBBIN]

I pick up the RSV this Friday -- this is my 6th bike so I know "generally" what to look for and go over.

 

Do you have any specific hints for the RSV?

 

I really start at a very base-line level of -- IF THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID DOESN'T SPRAY ALL OVER THE FENDER then things are pretty good! (Yup, actually happened to me on a purchase day!)

 

Many thnx, DREBBIN

That had to hurt. I think the biggest thingis get it in good outside light and look it over before signing anything. Sctatches and dings don't show up as well inside under artifical light.

years ago i went and looked at new bikes and they had a real nice bike in the show room they let me set there when the bike was preped the started it up came in and got me so i could take it for a test ride

 

i went around the parking lot a few times the sale man come out with a dealer plate for me and said see you in a hour or so pulling out of the lot the motor blew a rod out the front of the case and locked up the rear layed her down turning onto the road that was the end of that one didnt even get a 1/4 mile on it LOL
