I'm selling my 2010 Kawasaki Versys on Kijiji and I'm just wondering if you guys have let people test drive your bikes in the past?
I did not register my bike this year, as I don't see the point of flushing money down the toilet due to the fact that I'm selling the biike. Same goes with insurance. Heated garage stored all its life.
With that said, is it unreasonable to expect someone to spent $5000ish without test driving a bike? It's a 2010 and in awesome shape - very unlikely to have issues given it's age, but I kind of see where someone might be scared of going down that road.
On the flip side, I could say okay, I'll register it, give me $5000ish, show me your valid insurance, let them take the bike, say if you crash it - the money is mine, don't come back - the money is mine, etc. - but I'd rather they look at it, we fire it up, etc. and they pay for it and go. I know not everybody is honest, but I'm the type of guy that would tell somebody if something was mechanically wrong and/or get it fixed if it needed to be. This bike is in awesome shape and has nothing mechanically wrong with it.
Thoughts? I priced it aggressively so the ball is in my court WRT to not having to suck off (so to speak) prospective buyers - i.e. if I don't like to person I can tell them where to go and how to get there, then set up an appointment with the next person. Absolutely hate Kijiji because of all the tards that want something for nothing. They shall feel my wrath during this sale...
Thanks for any info/advice!
