It comes the time in every lads life that he must sell/trade his first bike and move onto something else. My first bike the bold and daring Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom. Yes, yes i know.
It's not a sport bike or anything close but it let me get the hang of two wheels before I upgraded a year later to a 2007 SV.
Now to get down to business I was trying to sell my V-Star all week to get some extra money to buy a beater truck I can use when I don't feel like riding.My grandfathers pastors' son goes on rides with the church every month and they usually turn out to be 1-3 hour charity rides and he doesn't like riding his ninja 650r that far and offered to trade me straight up for the cruiser. ;D
He told me from the start that the bike had been wrecked and I haven't seen the title yet but from my inspection other than a dented fuel tank, scratched crank case cover and tail plastics everything looks fine.
Took it for a spin probably ~10 miles and everything felt solid, compression from using front brakes felt normal and it was quick to boot
Other than still having 2 motorcycles and no truck. I was wondering if you guys know of any other things I might check before I pull the trigger?
