Buying a VTR what should I offer?
I am looking at a 98 VTR, it has new Bridgestones and generally looks fairly good. The chain and sprockets are tired. His shop said one more season. I can see it has light hooking on the rear sprocket. It has about 22000 miles. The kicker is it has been dropped. Hit a patch of gravel and went down on the left side. The muffler, clutch lever, footpegs, muffler hanger, mirror were replaced. The fairing is scrapped in three places and the turn signal is more or less just hanging. Looking inside from the front I can see missing and some broken fairing mounts, although the fairing seems to be secure at the main points. It does not seem to be leaking any coolent from the rad. The shop checked it out as okay, nothing twisted. The rest of the bike looks undamaged.
The asking price is $4500. What should I offer? Or just walk away? Thanks

walk away......
You should be able to find something in much better condition and shape in the 3k-4k range. I picked up my '99 VTR for $2800 with 8000 miles on the clock.
So keep looking, or lowball them and see what happens....
