Hello @adelaideVMC and welcome from Virginia. There are a lot of low mileage bikes like that around. Just check the seals and gaskets for leaks, make sure the battery is good and the tires are not over 5 years old. Enjoy!

Thanks man, for input.

Current one owner is reliably reported on to be fastidious, so am confident seals etc are OK. Battery I will replace asap, I have a half price ‘mates rates’ source. A good battery is crucial !

Tyres are 80% I am told. No matter. i will Dark Side the sled anyway. Seems to be the way to go.

We get robbed blind in OZ re tyre (tire) prices .... just Stupid Money ... :-(

I wld think nowadays, a 240 rear M tyre (tire) wld be something outrageous, like $450 ? For maybe , maybe, 10,000 kms / 6, 000 miles.

No thank you .... :-/
