Good day, to everyone who reads this,
I am not living in Spain, so this might seem not the correct to place to ask this question, but I am trying to buy my first motorcycle and I have the opportunity to ship it back to my country. I googled one market place for motorcycles and found one that I would like to buy. From the photos and comments below the add the bike looks fantastic. But I need someone with motorcyclist knowledge to look into it, the bike itself is in Madrid. Do any off you know anyone who I could contact to inspect if it is worth buying?

Hoping for a quick response. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the warm welcome Hope, to get some info soon enough.

Many posters are probably out and about and may not answer until later this evening but hopefully you will gain some replies. We have a few keen bikers on the forum but I do not know where they are based.

That sounds more than assuring. This issue that I am having is not top priority so even a few days response is more than fine

Hola & Welcome to the forum,

The question is WHY? is the bike really so cheap that with the costs of transport, it is that much better buy? You don´t give details but it could possibly be a minefield if it is a Spanish specification as opposed to and English one.

Hopefully you can post the make / model etc to give others a better opportunity to give you the best reply

... have you also considered the cost of matriculation (re-plating it)?

In my country (Lithuania) this type of motorcycle costs from 3-4k Euro. The cost for shipping to my country is only about 200 Euro. The problem with buying a motorcycle in my country is that most of them have been crashed hard bought for a very low price, fixed up cosmetically and sold with a high price tag. I have checked quite a few bikes so far, but they are pricy and have had at least one crash already. Matriculation costs, haven't thought about them yet, but re-registering the bike in my country is very cheap 20-30 Euros and license plates can be bought for a cheap price as well.

Sorry for not giving the link at first. Here it is:
KAWASAKI Z750
I have looked throught the pictures and read (translated and read) the comments about this bike. From what I can see this bike has not crashed or dropped yet and has just a little bit of mileage on it. Is there a biker who lives in Madrid and wouldn't mind checking the bike?

I've owned several bikes over the years although I don't currently have one but I do know a little about them and also live in Madrid. What exactly is it you need?

Please wait until moderator confirms my previous post, it has a link to the bike itself. If you would be kind enough to supply me with your skype/facebook/e-mail or something I would be more than glad to give you the information that I tried to post.

I need someone, who could perform a quick inspection. Cold engine running, check the gears and the clutch. Check the brakes and discs and most importantly the chassis. Anything else which I didn't mention. I am a total newbie in motorcycles, so if you know anything else to check please do
