It's the lack of service history that rings bells for me. Nothing else.
It's not hard to keep a history. If you can't be arsed to keep one, why would you be arsed to look after the bike?
I've got a little note book with everything I've done to my ktm in it. Takes a moment to do, but good to have a record.

Yup, since I got the SV, I've kept every single thing down dated and priced down to the LED's installed, even if I've done the work myself.
Not sure why it's hard to keep a history either. I reckon that will henceforth be the crux to all my purchases. I shall put my card down till I find a suitable steed. Might as well spend the money on track days instead.

That's the thing, this doesn't, hence my inquiring here to more experienced people. I don't mind a track fiend, so long as its been taken care of mechanically. Bike looks great as far as I can see from learning about buying my first money pit. Now bear in mind that the UK doesn't exactly afford the same silky roads that the US has to offer, so potential for undisclosed drops or damage as maybe higher?
Bike doesn't look like a wheelie or city fiend bike, but the seller was incredibly vague about offering any kind of service history or providence which worries me some.
Reckon I'm falling for the 'daayum that looks good, I want it' syndrome. So will back off for the time being.
