whats ment be "quite well"

[Andy C]

i need a bit of help! i just rang someone about a new bike a need some advise. its a rs125 01 with around 5000miles on it. i have a replacement piston and comes with a 12month MOT. what i would like advise on is when my dad rang (he was first to the fone as he called back) when he asked about the condition of the bike he said "it runs quite well and has been dropped once" should i be worried about this as my dad said he said quite well a lot about the bike. maybe thats just what he says. please could you give me advise as im sure a lot of you had more experience than i have in buying a bike!!

any comments would be great.

well go have a look take ur dad with you if hes good with bikes check it over and take a look at the guy who rides it he may say quite well meaning its okay if u rag the tits off it all the time , and u obviously dont want a bike thats had its neck rung since new and not run in correctly , also find out why he's selling . get ur dad to get a ride to see if theres n e thing obvious wrong with it .

yea lol i really should go for a 4t as needs to be reliable but i hate all of them and dont want to be going slower than if i had a 2t!!
u think im just being picky or is he hiding something about the bike but doesnt want to lie!i just dont know!its all my money aswell (not "parents treat" as some of people i know seem to get...not good!)

Check the seller as much as the bike. When they start it do they immediatly rev the nuts off it.

A 125 being dropped is not unusual.

Check the documents. If you are seriously interested then HPI check it.

All the best
