Just a question about selling
We put my Gs up for sale. I figure when I am ready to get back into riding after a few years of baby duty I can get myself a new bike instead of having to pay for storage until then ( no garage darned it!)
My question is this.. when you sell a bike what do you do about people wanting to take it for a ride. Insurance wise I am not comfortable with a total stranger riding my bike. |

Cash in your hand while they ride. No exceptions. They wreck it, they just bought it.

If I don't know you: Cash in hand = test ride.
Especially on a bike like that, it shouldn't be too hard to scarpe together a few grand.

I had a "you break it you bought it" paper written up and signed by the test rider that bought my SV650. This time around, I'm keeping it simple. No test rides.

I feel them out. When I sell bikes, I sometimes let them test ride it. Then again, most of my bikes aren't sport bikes.
