Just 2000 miles on the clocks :shock:


If it's in good condition (and is what it seems), it's a steal for the money - so be wary of it (all may not be what it seems).

When something sounds to good to be true, it usually is; however this is not always the case.


First things first, get the registration number and;


Get an insurance quote

Get an HPI check done


Ask a friend of a friend of whoever is a mechanic to come check it out with you, they have an ear for mechanical noises. Overall 2k miles is low and for a first bike its ideal.


Don't buy with your heart buy with your head - easier said than done..


Good luck
