  • Depends. If it's been used at the track then maybe it's hard sifferent fairings on.

    I'd proberbly not, unless I wanted a track bike and it all seemed good. Then again, a track rider might have looked after it really well and it's a sweet bike. Guess you need to trust your instinct.
    Pleanty of bikes out there, so weigh up the options based on what's on the market and price.

  • That's what the whistling birds are telling me really. I've kinda learnt from my mistakes with the SV, having to do a dammit with his car and hemorrhage money all over it. it's great and all, but I have a hankering for something a little tighter. Really got my eye on something Italian but sweet baby moses the prices.

    @cagimaha as above, that's what got me wondering. There's no obvious telling images of dodgy paintwork or avoided pictures, but while it looks good, the tyres do look a little shredded for comfort. As in they're down to the curve (chicken strips etc etc). I'm not fussed but cosmetics, but mechanically I like things to be clockwork, and the two I've asked to test have been a bit...careless with their service history.

  • I reckon it's all about the owner. Judge the bike by the owner. Just use gut instinct. If you're questioning it then walk away. Just be patient, the right one will come up.
