buying a D600 - few questions
Hi All,
I'm new to the site and D600 scene but have recently placed a deposit down on a used 2004 D600... yellow may i add
bike info; April 2004 '04 D600, 2500 miles, totally standard (as far as i know), buying from a triumph dealer
i just had a couple of quick questions that i hoped you could help me with;
engine/casing colour... i noticed the engine had black casing covers over some parts but the main engine was silver/grey, is this normal?
The exhaust was a standard D600 unit but in black, i thought the D600 had silver and later D650 had black... the sale block said triumph put whatever they had to hand from the parts bin... sometimes they were silver and some black.. is he right.. or has the can been changed for some reason?
there are a couple of marks on the bike but not many, as you'd aspect from a 2500 mile bike, theres a small crack on the seat cowl (may replace), and 5p sizrd dink on the rear fairing behind the seat cowl (not too bad), but the main one is on the tank... again its about the size of a 5p if that, and both dinks have been 'touched up' and dont look out of place.. may question is tank damage... how much would a repair cost... i understand the tanks are plastic.. is this right?
my only other concern is the keys.. the sales chap said the previous owner (original buyer, 1owner) broke the key in the barrel.. its had a new one fitted, no reciept, so the bike has 1 key for the new barrel and 1 old key for the tank and rear seat. he dropped £100 off the asking price because of this and offered me 2 new triumph keys to have cut... i didnt see this as mcuh of a problem, other than why did the new barrell only have 1 key with it? any thoughts out there?
was up for £3499, becasue of keys, got it for £3400... triumph dealer... ok price? i know i could shop around a little and save the odd £400 but paying via credit card (0% ) so didnt have cash...
thanks for taking the time to read/post.... ady
