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?

I wondered about that, too.
I mean, in general terms, what service history do we expect on a 1400 mike bike? One 500 mile oil-change and look-over (presumably that at least had been done?)? I realise oil change/service intervals are time as well as mileage-related, but surely there's distinction between missing mileage-related services and time-related ones. If a bike had been sat in a garage and hardly used for 5 years or whatever, I'd have though that a full service and fluid change would put it back in the pink. That's not like riding for 12000 milles without changing the oil.
All of which is not criticise Ian_km at all; he saw the bike and we didn't. Just a general point for discussion, really.
