…Do you let the guy looking to buy it ride it? I am selling the RC-51 and the guy that wants to come look at it doesn’t have a ML nor has he ever ridden a bike. He says hes not interested in buying it unless he can ride it. I am thinking no way, but on the other had I’d like to sell it…What would you do?

If he puts cash in my hand, he can ride it… Full amount. cash only. Otherwise… he needs to get a clue. hes out of his mind.

:word: Just look at Paulo’s latest thread and that was his brother who has ridden one before. You’d be fucking nuts to let him ride it.

I agree, have him give you the cash in hand and THEN let him take a test ride, if ANYTHING happens then bye bye deposit
does he at least have a permit?
when i picked up my bike a had an experienced rider with me who test rode it and told me it was good to go, if this kid has no experience how does he even know how it should handle??

tell him to bring someone with a license to test ride the bike. Then they can tell him how it is. If he drops your bike your the liable one since you knowingly let him ride it.

Ah if i only had the cash. Love those bikes.
Said allready but I wouldnt let him drive it without at least a permit. Tell him to get one its like 15 bucks and only kill like 2 hours of his day. also full amount of cash in hand and a waiver signed, prefferably with witnesses.
Just my two cents.

Anybody can get a permit… its not going to provide any riding skill. Its a 20 dollar piece of paper… permit or not, still gets a big no in my book.

Having sold my bike last wednesday; if someone has been riding for some time, and only wants to go around the block, fine. No experience no ride. If you don’t have experience, you could ride it with the cash in my hand.

Thats what i was saying. i wouldnt let him ride it if i was keeping it. permit or lisence, hes not getting on it. But if your looking to sell and he gives u the full amount of cash in hand than if he wrecks with a permit and signed waiver your still in the green. If you can have his parents there even better(if hes a punk kid that is)
