If the plastics look extraordinary good, check out for any tale tale hints that the bike has been raced, look out for any marks on the frame etc. Make sure the wheels are inline, check for general damage clues i suppose is the main thing

jep. and drive it _properly_ ! every gear accel / motorbrake. look carefully to second gear changes. in case you find any neutrals more than the one there should be, forget it. othervise than that... its an avesome bike!

I dunno....I reckon I'm one of the very few Bikers who really look after a chain.

I've seen R1's, Gixxer Thous etc with bone dry chains. And when I mention it to the fashion victim....sorry, I mean rider, they always say..."I don't bother with that cos it makes my bike dirty!" :roll:

Looks nice mate 8) Love your car too well jealous i had to decide on either an accident damaged Evo 7 RS2 which i was going to get my dads mates body shop to sort out or go travelling :?

I still sort of think i should have done the work on the Evo but travelling swung it in the end, dont think i could have lived with the nagging if i choose one of the other options :roll:
