Tips on private party sale?

Cash only as Tonik stated above.  No joyrides either, proof of license with a motorcycle endorsement and cash in hand or no test run, period!  I have heard of a few horror stories regarding dumb asses with no endorsement and window shoppers.  Other than that it is business as usual, cash exchange, title signed over and away it goes.  Good luck with your sale!

I'd also suggest meeting in a public, populated place.  Some Police Stations have designated safe zones for personal sales.

Thanks.  Right now I have a little bit of "analysis paralysis" going on trying to figure out what I want and want to afford.

Short list in no particular order:

  • FZ09
  • Leftover 2015 Z1000
  • GSX S1000
  • XSR900
  • ????

just cuz it fits in so well with your other options 

I would but then people would call me mean names like "pirate" and "village person".

Question about "cash in hand" to test ride: Does that mean you hand over the full amount in cash to the seller to hold while you test ride? That seems risky. (Also, cash seems risky because there could be some counterfeit bills?)

Full cash in hand when I let someone test ride what I am selling. The person usually leaves their car there as well. I get a pic of their plate number.
