I’m going to see a bike I want to buy and as I’m no expert on mechanics, I thought, if somebody is around and bored - could take a look with me whather it’s a good bike…Short nitice, I know, but I thought I will try.
Thank you in advance,
y.ps. *live, not liv… (topic), dont know how to edit it to amend it…
What sort of bike is it?
Honda CBF 500, it has scratches on exhaust pipe thats why I’m concerned whether it doesnt have any hidden faults…
whats the mileage does it have full service history,old mots
55 000 …
damn i have to leave now…
just in case,
if somebody is around Colliers Wood - my number is 0796356 5550, i’m viewing it at 5…
well just dont rush into it theres millions of bikes for sale
55k miles??? I personally wouldn’t buy a bike with such high mileage!
High??
That barley run in for a Honda 
55k is hell of a lot of miles!
You want it to be seriusly cheap with 55k on it…
And do not go and view a bike at 5pm when it gets dark at 10 to 5 . Even if its in a garage a 100w bulb bares no comparison to even a winter sun for showing up the blemishes .
At 55k the engine will still be sweet if it’s been cared for (on schedule oil/filter changes + valve clearance checks) - however there could be a lot of jobs that need doing or are about to need doing - like worn wheel/head bearings, shock renewal, fork seals about to pop etc - which is ok if the bike is dirt cheap as that gives you the money to put things right.
Deffo take someone who knows what they are looking at so you don’t buy an over-priced lemon. 
sounds like it might be too late!
oh and you might want to go back and edit your phone number off. I wouldn’t recommend having that on a public forum!
Thank you for all you advices and expecially HUGE THANK YOU to Garret who was such a great help/support today and made me see things different way (proper way). THANK YOU.ps. I didn’t buy it YET. I’m calling the guy tomorrow after I have a test ride on Groovy’s ER5
