- September 25, 2012, 22:25:50 PMI bought my 02/800 a couple yrs ago off the net, sight unseen . It was about 700 miles away and its the first big ticket item I've ever bought on line. It had 7500 miles on it and was the original owner. I had numerous e mail ,pics, and phone calls. I may have taken a leap of faith buying it like that but it was exactly as represented. The seller did" safety check "it as part of the deal ( that showed it was safe to be registered ). You may have to trust the seller to take it to a local shop , and a professional shop isn't likely to put their name and business in jeopardy by not describing the bike as it is. If time is not a factor, keep searching , one will come up within a resonable distance , ( usually the day after I bought it on the other side of the country !! )

- September 16, 2012, 11:11:17 AMHi guys. New to the board. I've been looking at 1500s for a while and, like a lot of people, looking pretty much anywhere in the country. What I'm still trying to get sorted is how to find a reliable, trustworthy mechanic to go and check a propsective bike out 1000 miles away. What's the best way you've found to get a bike checked out if you can't do it in person? Thx
