choice of two bikes but only one budget

[b1k3rdude]

• 49k £2700 done
  
• 28k £3300 plus ca200 new can
  
  

So my thoughts on the first bike

- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-detail...asc&page=1

• The crank inspection cover has noticeable painting peeling.
  
• The front wheel is worse for wear and will prolly need repainting.
  
• The Left hand mirror has scuffs and scrapes.
  
• The Clutch lever has scuff and scrapes.
  
• The bar end and the grips are non-std and just looks crap imho.
  
• The tail end/tidy is non std and needs a repaint.
  
• The end can is non-std, so has the ECU been remapped to take this into account
  
• The mirror stems have noticeable corrosion.
  
• The underside edges of the tank has corrosion.
  

Bike market says the trade price on a 2008 w/18k is £2700, this bike has 2.5x that mileage so this dealer is untrustworthy chancer. I would walk away from this bike.

My thoughts on the second bike

- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-detail...asc&page=1

• The headers and the water pipes are very corroded - which would also suggest the header studs/nuts are fucked.
  
• The riders left foot peg is missing the kick cover and screws.
  
• The chain soft-link is very rusty.
  
• The stock exhaust has got scuff and scrapes.
  
• The front and rear brake disc bolts are all rusty
  
• The bike has mismatched tyres, has a nice Micheline PR4 on the rear but a shitty Maxxis on the front
  

So the same as the last bike, BikeMarket says £2400 for 2008 with 20k. So like the last place this dealer is also taking the piss, again walk away from this one also.

Keeps on searching:

So there appears to be a 2010 (and its the ABS model) with 10k going for £4k and this is under market price according to Bike market (https://www.thebikemarket.co.uk/yamaha/fz-fazer/fz1). Ping me once the seller has uploaded pictures and I will have a look at it -
