  • 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.

  • no way i'd buy a bike that sat for 6 years unless the price really reflected it. I'd rather good use and miles. It's a massive case of it depends, could be fine, could be big trouble.
