Saw this on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APRILIA-SL1000-FALCO/151352342798?_trksid=p2050601.c100103.m2451&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140211150826%26meid%3D8293093725246756012%26pid%3D100103%26prg%3D20140211150826%26rkt%3D4%26clkid%3D8293096496855655979&_qi=RTM1793571
First thought - I want I want I want. 500 miles! Asking price isn't too silly considering (if it's your thing), well it's just about brand new.
But.........are there any draw backs to a ten year old bike that hasn't even been fully run in?
Is it basically a new bike, or could there be issues relating to never having been used for years.
Most bikes for sale at least see a few days out each year.
Pluses - bog standard, nae tasteless mods. Should be spotless. has baglux tank cover thingy
Negatives - duff battery? needs tasteful cans (gotta hear that big twin). side stand issue, rear shock supposed to be pants. If I was buying it's 240 miles away.
Anyway just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on bikes being laid up for a long time.
