Is this a good deal?

Post by melpotter »

Just curious really, what do muppets think of this deal? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-400-K5 ... 336972cccf
I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.

Too expensive, its only just under half the price for a brand new one!

Looking on Autotrader there seems to be a lot of choice around that price.
This one seems a better deal

How long a "Valid mot" is, I can't be sure!
It is in London though and travelling costs to view have to be considered.
To me,, it's worth a few hundred quid to not have to travel.
But if I had no scooter and some money , I'd have a daytrip to find out more about it.

If I were buying against what you have shown, I would choose this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-AN400- ... 1442wt_952. However lower mileage K8+ models at the right price is always preferable.

you could buy roadrunners sh300(in for sale section), and have change, a much better bike than the burger.

Wouldn't say the SH3 is a better bike...all depends what kind of use he wants out of it??

I've looked at several brands of maxi but I prefer something with real 'presence' on the road. I love my SYM GTS EVO and am considering a 300i but I can't seem to get a dealer to tell me how the under seat storage compares. I commute 34 miles a day, 70% at 60 mph which is why I'm considering something faster / more powerful.

AFAIK the storage on your 125 is the same as the 300

I have just paid £2700 for an 07 Burger 400. Mint condition with 7000 miles. The one in Liam's post seems a lot better deal than the one you're looking at. I would definately look around.

I thought so too, but photos on the SYM site show it as a lot smaller and the importers don't seem to be able to answer the question. :(
