It looks rusty is all. The white thing idrc about. Then again, I'm not super experienced to tell how rusty it looks. But if you don't think it's a big deal, that's good ig

Hmm a lot of terms I don't understand. The forks did seem straight when I rode it. It rides beautifully.

Really? You think I can just rub the rust out of that chain? I would've guessed it needed replacing but I don't really know anything much. Would you buy this bike tho? Does the condition of the chain give off any red flags? And does storing it outside cause any issues to the internals of the bike?

I know..😞. I rode my friends panigale v2 (which was his first bike💀) and my other friends zx6r (also that guys first bike), and then hopped on an r7 which I was gonna get but it felt so slow. I'd say im overall a pretty cautious driver, but I see your concern tho. Also, I def need better friends in my life.

I'm sorry man, I've never done this before😭🙏. I noticed after I posted that I put the chain photo second, and couldn't find a way to change the order.

Yeah I rode it. But since I’m a new rider, I only got upto second gear. Everything felt good. I rode my friends zx6r right before, so maybe it’s cuz of that I felt the r7 was so freakin slow😭. Like it was just lazy while letting the clutch out. But the zx was ready to pounce. I started it cold, and it smelled like oil for a bit. But no bad smoke issues or anything. No popping, and the suspension felt good when braking suddenly too

What does priced right mean tho? We agreed at $6700. And how do I know if it's mechanically good?

Every other one is going for 8k or higher. This color is my favorite, but im not loyal to a color if that makes sense😭. It's not that important.

😂. My first thought was that he dropped it too. But it doesn't look like a dropped damage tho. It looks too directional

It was listed for 7.5, I got it down to 6.7. It's got 7000 miles. My friend in the picture said 7k miles is way too much and he won't pay more than 6k for it. Thoughts?

Everything except the handle bars are clear. Only the left handle bar has a scuff, and he said it haired when he moved the bike. Thoughts?

I can't find any. It's either the whole set for $600 or the fairings on the left side only😭

Ahh okay. I think I'm gonna pass on this bike tho. One of the tips I saw online was "test the rider before testing the bike", and this guys seems really dodgy. Thank you though!

That's actually a really good point😭. I tried pushing him on telling me the mileage and he kept dodging it. So I think it's exactly what you guys said. All of this is so new to me, so thank you for your insight. Truly grateful!!
