Well My wife and I decided to take off this morning and go get the '02 600 Kat we bought on Ebay. Weather was the best its gonna be so we left at 9:00 and headed to NJ, 150 miles to the bike.
When the guy shows up I quickly turn from excited to angry. As he pulled in I see the fairings scatched up everywhere!! The L/H side is BROKEN. Never saw it in the photos. My wife says "Dude, you needed to show this stuff in the photos and mention it ". He immediately says "I'll knock off $500.00". I asked to see the receipt of the 7000 mile service (has 6950 on it). Mentions nothing of valve adjust. But said carbs rebuilt??? I thought, FOR WHAT?
The bike was rusty at spots sounded like crap and was all greasy. He then says Ok I'll knock off $1000.00. That would make it $2000.00 for the '02 Kat 600. But I just said no way. Give me my deposit. So that was it.
This was my fourth bike I would have bought on Ebay. The first three were almost perfect deals. Well I was due. Anyway not a total loss we rode the 750 Kat and had a great cruise together. Although my wife was looking forward to riding home her NEW bike. Gotta keep looking.
