Been a long time lurker on the site. I've been toying with a Gen 1, Fazer thou ever since the banter days of me owning a hornet. I never quite found the right one at the right time though.
Anyway, I've not had a bike for 6 months or so, and have withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately with a son in Uni, my budget is a bit limited.
I have found a '54 reg Gen 1, grey with black engine model, that I can get for £2000 delivered from a dealer. (i can't seem to upload an image, i'll try a link)

The bike has done 60k miles but looks in above average condition for that amount. There is no documented service history, but a bit encouragingly, the previous owner paid for a major service at a main dealer that included valve clearances etc. 12 month MOT, akrapovic exhaust, hpi clear. I've been assured the bike runs really well.
I've never bought a bike without seeing it, but I'm just not going to be able to get to see it.
I know that if looked after the bikes will eat that sort of mileage, I guess I'm after a bit of reassurance, lol
Does it seem reasonable?? thanks in advance.

Seller has 100% feedback so thats a plus, but buying any bike or car unseen is a big risk, one mans good condition is another mans shit heap. Whilst it may have had a recent service I would bet the exup valve hasn't been touched.
Only you can make the decision in the end, maybe someone on here close to the dealer could have a look at it for you

Graphics don't look right on the fairing if mine is anything to go by...Also it's missing the plastic protectors on the forks so maybe not original front end????

Thanks, the weather was quite nice when I left yours....until I hit the M4, then it absolutely pee'd it down and got very windy ALL the way back. It'll take me days to dry out!!. I look forward to reasonable weather so I can get out for a proper ride.

I would spray the chain with WD40 after riding in the wet, roll on the warmer drier weather .
