the first thing i look at buying a used bike is the tires. if it has under 6,000 miles on it and the tires are worn out i pass. also if their are scrapes on the underside. does it mean the bike is damaged goods NO. but i always found a bike in better shape. if the bike still has lots of rubber and no scrapes you figure it was not beat on to much. it is ok to ride hard and use up a motorcycle. some do some dont. i dont.

Managed to get just over 10,000km from the rear!!
But then again, I don't ride that hard
& a retraction, we get the 'Rosso' not the Corsa
