In the advert there seems to be no mention of the engine change, which has an extra 4,000 miles on it. It's stating the mileage as 16,532. That's very dishonest. Another reason to avoid it.Steve T wrote:If its this bike:-

The failure was a strange one, according to the rider, given the normal strength of these engines, as mentioned above.
Just thought you'd like some background on the machine

Re: Engine replaced
Top detective work there! Yeah that's the one. I think I'd be silly not to take the advice of everyone here. Probably best avoided. Good bargain potentially for someone else. I may well sell it in a couple years anyway (too old for ultra low emissions zone in London) and imagine it'll be a pig to sell.Steve T wrote:If its this bike:-
