how many owners has it had (how long have you had it)
you say pads C&S tyres are in good cond, when did you replace them

good point i will add that

I would harmlessly ask the question....is there some room for negotiation on the price? Rather than expecting him to get a ha*d on cos you mentioned cash.

Mileage?

Has it been used for trackdays,(people here in Spain are very nervous of bikes that have been screwed around tracks) But then again how would you know if it had?

How long is left on MOT Hovi?

I would do a spell check before you send that matey...

Following on from my question re MOT

If it wasn't long ago, were there any advisorys, did it sail through

If it is due soon, will it be ok in condition now?

May sound silly but i'd ask it.

You could ask how good is it for doing wheelies and donuts on? Is it good for stoppies.If he answers..."GREAT!" then stay well clear! HTH
