Ian - you said no service history when you saw it and the condition wasn't right? It was advertised as immaculate and FSH - what's the story?

The 1400 miler is advertised through George Petch Honda dealer, though the bike was still with the owner near Hartford awaiting trade in. The only proof of any work was a receipt for a belt service last year, no sign of an initial service or any other, as for condition, I have to admit to being very particular, there where big chips on the rear wheel (tyre change I guess) and a few chips on the bodywork, nothing major.
I see your point about mileage/time related services, it made me nervous thats all, probably fine really, I know he was looking around the £8,300 mark. Happy hunting

Thanks, with a bike like that you are going to want to get her fully serviced anyway. Were the tyres original? I assume not if there were tyre change marks, but why would anyone want to change tyres on a 1400 mile bike - unless there was some track action taking place?
As for stone chips, this could be legit, depends on how many I spose!!!
