Oh..one thought...make sure it hasnt been stood a while...some sellers tend to think that a bike that has been stood/stored for a while makes it a more attractive proposition. In reality it can mean (worst case) the belts gluing themsleves to the pulleys, knackered seals, and flat spots on tyres.

I guess what im trying to say, is that if its been stood for 12 months and hasnt had a service because it hasnt done any miles..then it will be in need of a service even more so!!!!

Dukes liked to be used and dont like sitting around doing nowt. Ask Jasper..hes just had to spend a load of money on his 888 SP5 hes just bought because of the above...mind you, he deserves it coz he had so much of a flippin' bargain in the first place !!!
