Only niggles were:

1. tyres will need changing soon (they would not stretch that far)
2. Front indicators on upside down (accident) but HPI was clear...
its ringing alarm bells to me this bike
it definitely needs belts but what about if it need rockers and so on
I cant see them paying this dealer for everything that needs or may need doing.
be careful
I know its all about the trade in. but don't get sucked in to something that might cost you a bit more in the long run.
I still think you should go for a 748. maybe just not this one.
