Hi mate - keep looking!
I paid just over 2k for a 2002 foxeye with 14k on it, immaculate with MOT etc from a trader. For your money you can do better!

Have to +1 on the Fox eye.... would prefer fox eye silver

Well the first one i feel has too many miles on it at 44000 but the foxeye blue one i rang them on Friday but no answer.I must admit i would go for the blue one,but would want 6 month,s tax a service and 3 months warranty but will try them again tomorrow.By the way Fizzy do you live in Chorley.
PS i have noticed that the o/s rear plastics have some marks on them.On the blue one sorry

Hmm, looks to me like where something has been strapped to the back, it is plastic so at least you know it isn't going to rust or anything. New decals might sort it and it's not the end of the world. for the price it's still in pretty good nick and is newer than others linked to.

Try giving them a ring again and see what kinda deal you can get

Would definately be getting them to stick 6 months or a years tax on it if it was me.

Don't get if you don't ask! Haha, got £200 plus 6 months tax when I bought my foxeye

Be cheeky, all they can do is say no and there are plenty more bikes out there for you but they need to get rid of trade ins to make the profit

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #33 on:** 21 March 2013, 09:49:06 pm »

Well £200 it is then

Chris · « **Reply #34 on:** 21 March 2013, 09:55:15 pm »

even if you ask for £200 and you only get £100, then it's still better than asking for £100 and only getting £50 off.

Start low and haggle. You're the one with the options

I ran the risk of buying the Beast privately... but with a few selected questions and seeing the bike had been forsale on eBay for 28 days with 3 days left... I managed to get £350 of the asking price... in the right place at the right time!! Don't rush into buying a machine, there is one with your name on it at the right price in the great condition!!

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #36 on:** 21 March 2013, 10:07:19 pm »

Very true CharlieDee but i just hope they still have it i know it,s been on a while.All i would need extra for that would be a rad guard and ss front pipes.

Think the foxeye fazers have ss downpipes as standard but they still rot at the welds as the welds weren't stainless but keep them clean and a good coat of high temp paint will mean they should last a long time.

Looked at that today Dudeness,very nice bike,but i would need to put my stamp on it,so would be looking way over 2k and Bristol is a little too far away,but must admit it,s a cracking bike.Yea spotted your location about 15 mins ago Fizzy

It would be a cracking start on the Fazer ladder!! looks like she has been cherished!! As for the downpipes on a foxeye.. I can confirm they are stainless on the pipes and yes they do rot on the collector... hence why the Beast now has shiny pipes and is going on the Dyno this windy morning!!

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #41 on:** 22 March 2013, 09:33:44 am »

Well just rung up about the Blue Fazer and deposit taken

but told to ring up in 4 to 5 days just to check.Now trying to get hold of the garage in Darwen about the red one.

Just did,nt think picking my dream bike would be so stressful.

Adrian ... chillax

No point in getting stresses, in my many years of stressing out I have finally come to realise that if you don't get something you were hoping to get, more often than not, you end up with something better.
There are plenty of nice bikes around so don't panic

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #43 on:** 22 March 2013, 10:56:45 am »

Hi sure2ride, out of all the bikes we have been looking at in this post there are 2 top of the list.

i would be happy with either of those bikes.Will still go for a look at the first one on Saturday and see if he could knock anything off the price for cash.

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #44 on:** 22 March 2013, 06:25:30 pm »

18000 miles
1 owner from new
solalarm
alphadot security system
apparently the bike has wanted for nothing.Not sure what that tape is doing on the n/s rear plastics will have to ask about that.

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #45 on:** 22 March 2013, 07:51:42 pm »

Well the dealer wanted £2500
He wanted £2000
I can have it for £1895

SO should i go for this one?

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #46 on:** 22 March 2013, 10:05:24 pm »

Yea i,ll be up there mate

Lez72 · « **Reply #47 on:** 22 March 2013, 10:33:09 pm »

If it has been well looked after there is a good chance that the tape is on the rear plastics to prevent scuffs from either carrying a pillion or from 'throw overs'.

You just need to make sure it isn't masking any cracks

Adrian6171 · « **Reply #48 on:** 22 March 2013, 10:46:06 pm »

He rang me back tonight the tape,s there for when they strap the bikes to the trailer,said it was,nt worth taking off for the sake of a week.Must admit looking forward to viewing the bike.

His Dudeness · « **Reply #49 on:** 22 March 2013, 11:26:08 pm »

Good luck with it! If you can find someone that knows a bit about bikes to go along with you bring them with you. A second pair of eyes always helps for picking up things.
