M-Reg 'Blade - What to look for??
So,
I know of an M-Reg 'Blade going quite cheap: "M reg, all sound condition, new chain, decent tyres, 17 inch front wheel conversion, braided lines, new wheel bearings, fork seals and brake caliper overhaul kit, all valve clearances spot on, stainless exhaust, 30k miles, its fine... its a Honda" It's had some replacement/aftermarket bodywork, a rough repaint in Kawasaki green but mechanically is well maintained by its owner (who I know quite well). So what to look for? Any old 'Blade quirks? This would be a road and occasional track bike for me for a short stint next year. And how much should I barter him down to? |

Thanks for that, just waiting to hear on my next destination and then I'll hit him hard with a low offer.
