    Found a 2001 Yamaha FZ1 in Doylestown PA. Its 7.5 hours away from me.

    Is anyone from around that area? Does anyone wanna go check it out for me?

    Further more if its that nice (i called that guy and it sounds legit) would someone pick it up and hold it for a couple weeks till i can come out there to pick it up? ( i would wire money, or money order or whatever)

    I know its a long shot but i figured it worth a try.

    Bike in question</a

    Anyone? Thanks

    I live in Doylestown but know nothing about what to look for on a bike.. Is it similar to looking for the basics as would on a car?

    If you just take more pics give it a once over for me that would be huge in and of it self.

    Or if i could stash it at your place till i can come out to pick it up.

    I could most definitely take a bunch of pictures and give it a looksy and report back to you..

    Check for leaking fluids, frayed wires and dry rotted tires.

    Looking at the rear tire usually reveals how it was ridden. Shoulders not used? Bike spent most of it's time perpendicular to the road surface.

    I don't live far from Doylestown and have a truck and might be able to help if you need a hand getting it from the seller to temp storage.
