Buying a bandit600, what to watch out for?

[Valver]

I'm taking a mate to buy a 03 bandit6 in about an hours time. Anything i should look out for? The bikes only done 1800miles and seller wants £1900.

Not my sort of bike but sounds like a bargain to me

at that age and milage i wouldnt worry too much, just check the downpipes for rust ect, the colector box on the pipes, usual tires, brakes frame numbers ect ect.

Obviosly any knocks and unusual sounds, a test ride perhaps?

hope it helps.


Steve.

Cheers Steve! The exhaust is something i always forget about on bikes. Will be getting a test ride for sure

Wotcha Dave.

Collector box rot.

Binding brakes

Corrosion.

Think that's your lot. If any of those are an issue on such a low mileage, new bike then I'd be a bit worried!
