Cheers Cris. That is a good price with that mileage and extras. First off, change ALL fluids and filters (engine oil, trans, final drive, brake, coolant), so at least you start off with known quantities. Tire pressures should be 2.25 bar in the front, 2.5 bar in the rear.

Welcome Chris - I agree with RT, having come from Honda's myself you'll need to get a few hundred miles under your wheels to get the feel of it but they are a fantastic ride once you're gotten used to them. Sounds like you got yourself a bargain. Well done.

welcome aboard Cris. Sounds like a nice bike at a great price. It seems like a lot of these bikes in North America came with Corbin seats.
