RAYK47 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So am I better off going for a newer (2015) model with high mileage or an older (2011) with lower mileage.E.g. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902205142031?atmobcid=soc3Orhttp://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902215161530?atmobcid=soc3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAYK47 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Maybe I should add that I am intending to use it for commuting approx 60 mile round trip. Maybe lower mileage is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 My gut feeling is nearly always to be tempted by the lower mileage - but my head knows that bikes like to be used so a well maintained higher mileage is often the better buy.I am not a huge fan of Superbike Factory - if it was a smaller dealership then maybe I'd take another look, but they tend to stock stuff sourced a bit at random. So you'd need to look at the bike carefully and see whether it's been looked after properly.From the information available I'd look at the newer one and be prepared to haggle on price.

RAYK47 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks for the advise. The links were just examples as I am probably more likely to get it from a local dealership. Higher mileage, used and better maintained is probably not to be sniffed at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
