Yes its another motorcycle question.

UnitL I gotta disagree on some stuff you said there. Plastics are cheap. You just can't buy them from a retail shop. The tank is the ONLY costly part. You can get an entire set for under $800 for almost EVERY sportbike and they COME painted. Even if you wanted a triple phase paint job, it would NOT run over $1,200 at most for the entire bike, including the tank.

Additionally, a sprocket swap takes about 45 minutes for front and rear. Sprockets are like $130 for the rear and maybe $30 for the front. No indication whatsoever of wear on the bike.

Cruisers are easy to handle? Okay, take a nice 700 lb bike out, turn the bars as hard as you can and gas it. When she slips, have fun pulling a damned hamstring attempting to keep her up.

Worn tires to the edge means he actually KNOWS how to ride. More than likely, a good thing, not bad. "Stunters" will ride thru the center because they are usually on one wheel. Long wheelies deprive the front cylinders of oil and ruin the front fork seals when coming down. Also, stunter love their stoppies or endos, which destroy swingarms. I'll take the ex canyon carver any day of the week over the poser stunter.

I do actually agree with you on the miles though. 30k is too much. You're right on the fluid levels, colors, and levers as well. Very observant.
