Actually if u ride bike for a couple of years, when u test or look at the bike u will have some kind of "feel good factor" if the bike is good.

If u dont have the FGF when u sit on it and test it on the spot, I suggest u look else where.

The disc of the brake.

Run ur finger throught them if there are very uneven grooves and valleys arcoss the dice, if got then dont buy. A bit is ok, u just need to sand it.

Rear sus, the stem of the rear sus, check see whether is leaking oil. And sit or put ur weight on it and see whether got any funny noise, no sound is a good sign.

From above..

FR and FU vtec is about 2.5-3 years apart.

And most S4 got sus problem after 7-9 years of riding. In this case Fr vtec is coming to 6 years.

U pay less than 2k for a 3 years newer bike.

I sold a 8 years old Ver S this march at 3.8k and brought a 3 years old Spec 2 at 7k, all machine price. If I keep my Ver S for 1-2 years, I lost about maybe 1-2k. If I keep my spec 2 for 1-2 years, I still lost about 1-2k.

The point is the deprecation is about the same and if u have the burget I suggest, u buy a newer bike.

But have to depend on condition, the above is only the bike are in great condition.

There are things like rotors wear and sus wear that cant be avoided.And they cost a lot, if u brought a old bike have to replace them, but in end u also sell at the market price, I rather buy a newer bike to avoid these problem and still lost about same amount of $$ after years of keeping.

The best bet now is FU and FV vtec...

 

I hope u can understand wat I mean.

My $0.02 worth.....Good luck..

I also suggest deal one...The price seem like quite ok.... but provided the bike is in gd condition... you dun mind to pay slightly more now than u need to repair in the future... it will cost more than wat u paying now...

 

Just for advise.. check the bike condition first before u confirm..... Just my personal view.... :goodluck:
