Default Buying Advice Please

If I'm buying a 1995 kawasaki ZX6 for $1000 in "good running condition" is it a scam or should i continue with the offer?

Thats not enough details to give you much advise. Where did you find the bike? Are there pictures of the bike? Have you gone and checked it out in person?

Hey Ima, if you have experienced bike buddies who know what to look for, take one with you. That price doesn't sound too far out of line, depending on condition, but buyer beware; there are plenty of hacks out there trying to scam a buck. If you are going alone, we can suggest a list of items to check. Like Landon said^, post up some pics and we can offer more insight.
