    What a great video that captures an awesome moment. The whole family seems really nice and the owner just couldn't stop smiling whenever he looked at the bike. Great job capturing it all for us!

      +Amel H. I really appreciate you making time to share a genuine comment. Thank you, Amel. The whole family was really nice. I couldn't imagine a better owner to buy a used sport bike from. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers ✌

    That was a really nice video man. I almost teared up with how nice it was to see obvious intelligent and nice people and yourself. So all around nice smart people and a nice moment where he got to let go from something that made him extremely happy.
    And I laughed hysterically when she said "charm" too!

      +Motorcycle John hi im thinking off getting my second bike im and the search of a 2004 suzuki gxsr 600 or a 2003 honda cbr600rr they both $3000 wanted to know which one will be reliable and better

    • @MotorcyleJohn
      @MotorcyleJohn  8 лет назад +1

      +Lunny Morales Have you seen both bike's in person? Both have a good reputation.

    • @lunnymorales4549
      @lunnymorales4549 8 лет назад

      +Motorcycle John no not yet im seeing the gxsr today both are from craiglist gxsr has lower mileage then the cbr

    • @MotorcyleJohn
      @MotorcyleJohn  8 лет назад

      +Lunny Morales I'd be curious how long the current owners have had them. Maintenance they've done. How soon before you'll need new tires, etc. You may also want to compare insurance costs on both. I look forward to hearing about it ✌
