anyway how much are gloves to buy brand new, not that much.
Well, if you're going to buy good gloves, anywhere from $100 up to $300 or so.
When I bought my F4i used, I got a JR Meteor, a JR Pheonix, a Shoei Z-II (two shields), a Shoei RF-900, JR Speedmaster Gloves. He was getting out and didn't have use for the stuff anymore. It was all in VERY good condition.
Gear makes excellent incentives. It might get you a few extra bucks, and it might not. Personally, the extra's made that bike a much better deal for me. Everything but the helmets actually fit me, and My girlfriend uses the Z-II.
The Z-II didn't have a mark on it. If it did, I would have sent it to Shoei to have it x-rayed. If they say its good, than you have no worries. I don't believe that they charge you to check a helmet, but I'm not sure.
I also have a used Fieldsheer 1-piece. It was crashed in, but had NO structural damage. I paid $230 and it is an $800+ suit new.
Used isn't bad. You just have to make sure you inspect it, and know what you're buying. It helps to know what to look for when you're inspecting too
