What should I be worried about if I bought a bike that hasn't done much in the last 5 yrs?
Looking at an 02 XJR1300 from a dealer.
Last serviced at around 5000 miles in 2008, currently sitting on 6200 miles.
Said it would have a service and fresh MOT when sold, but should I be worrying about things that might not be fixed by a quick service?
It's a long time to have not done much.
Also not 100% sold on the bike, it will be a daily commuter doing about 800 miles a month.
Replacing my current TransAlp, want something a bit bigger than the 680cc twin than I currently have.
Also been eyeing up zzr1400 but might be a tad excessive...
