For what it's worth to anyone I had a look at this bike, in an effort to be unbiased here's some thoughts:
- seller is a genuine bloke! great guy
- starts and idles just fine
- 'feels' like a bike thats done 7000 odd miles, MOT's to back up mileage
- no service history
- front spokes are great condition, rears one have a bit of brown spots coming through
- white stress marks all over plastics, from bending
- rims have signs of light corrosion
- inner side of swingarm has surface corrosion
- frame and brackets have surface corrosion
In the end I walked and held out for a 660, as for the price there was (what I consider to be) a good bit of work preventative work that needed to be done and I'm not really looking for a project right now.
