Is 30,000km high for a motorbike?
I am looking at bikes.
Definitely tyre kicking but would love a Ducatti or Buell. Well actually I would reallllly love a Victory Cyle, preferably one in which Arlen Ness has messed with but at $30K +ORC before Arlen even touches it, no thanks! This has taken my fancy. http://www.bikepoint.com.au/DesktopD...154&TabID=3424 Type Road Make BUELL Model FIREBOLT Year 2004 Colour Red Capacity (cc) 1200 kms 30,742 Price $11,600 Reference Code 35CP-049-20 Registration No. WB545 Expiry Month 10 Expiry Year 2009 Road Worthy Certificate Yes Pros and cons of a Buell anybody? And is 30,000km scary? |

Yea PSB no doubt someone mechanically minded will help out and inspect it for you if you ask nice.
Would expect it to have a reasonably new chain and sprocket on it by now (If not expect to do it soon) and check that it shifts and stays in gear ok. Otherwise if it looks good and feels nice and tight I wouldn't worry about the mileage unless they have regularly been doing track days or drags every week. On road it just isn't really possible to thrash a sports bike like you can thrash a car.

Just looked at the pics. Belt drive. Should be laughing. Something different & a grunter rather than a screamer. Much more relaxed to ride.

Whatever you buy it will be fast if you haven't been on sports bikes before. Almost everything big bore out there will do a sub 12 1/4 mile with a bit of effort ( with the exception of heavy cruisers ).
Don't cheap out on the protective gear and buy stuff that you will wear. Better to have a jacket, gloves, boots, draggins etc that you will wear EVERY time rather than something that is really good but a bit uncomfortable so you say screw it just this once.
