You're right mate.
I'm beginning to wonder about my brake hoses now. They are not braided, but I don't know if they are original or not. (my bikes had a hard life n all)?!
and my comments about the bars were independent of your observations. ( well spotted btw!) I was just saying when I got my bike it had been dropped (loads). The handle bars are a little bent and the exhaust scratched. If these have been changed it may suggest it's had a tumble.
I'd buy that bike for a grand, Short of something catastrophic happening you won't lose £1000 on a bike like that. A complete secondhand engine is only £250-300!
