Looking at a motorbike on one of those warehouse used dealer type places, and they have a surprisingly low mileage BMW R1200gs (2010) for about my budget.
Ran the plate through the MOT checker Gov site, and it expired in 2015(!) and presumably just been sat in a showroom for 6 years.
Sale comes with a fresh MOT and a 3 month warranty (12m extension is another £250)
Reasons to avoid?
Guess I'd factor in replacing all the fluids and battery fairly soon after picking it up.
Maybe tyres too, as they are likely a decade old.
FYI for anyone swapping a Brembo brake mastercylinder to a Japanese bike - they use metric fine thread (1.0mm.) So if you need a double banjo, order one before….
