Test Pilot needed - Inner West Sydney

Post by -b-r-e-n-t- »

Hey guys,

I'm currently in negotiations with a private seller in regards to buying his 2009 ZX-6R but before any deal is made, I want the bike to be test ridden and checked. My problem is, is that i've really only ever ridden my 250R. With my lack in experience with such a bike, i'm not 100% confident in my ability to fully assess how it rides. So I put it to you guys, is there one amongst you willing to devote some time to help me out to test ride and inspect the bike? At this stage i'm aiming for this Saturday afternoon to meet up with the gentleman but is yet to be confirmed. The bike is located in Belmore, Sydney.
If anyone is willing, you will receive my eternal gratitude, $50 posted or a case of beer of your choice 8)

Belmore has more asians than lebo's but dont let the truth get in the way of a good story :lol:

Matey of asian appearance was selling the bike :roll: Not bad but I reckon a few calls on price re the above bike might be worth it ;)
