    Good little bikes. They have a dummy tank in them, so you can store your helmet in there while walking around town, if that is your thing.... (yeah, walking around in full bike kit minus helmet does look a little silly....

    Anyhow, they go quite well for what they are, but are really getting on in years.
    Look out for perished rubber bits and fuel stains, and oil leaks.

    A well looked after one, will do many k's, but then again, a not so well maintained one could be low k's but stuffed... Like any bike really.
    Take it for a ride and see what you think.

    The one I'm looking at is 1990 but has only got 660ks on tne clock . Its from a dealer and they reckon Ks are correct which is amazing for a 20 year old bike!
    Thanks for the heads up though

    Ask if they will put a 3 month warranty on it. That way if it leaks its there issue to sort.

    The 3 month warranty is their obligation under law, they have to give you that.

    660km in 20 years.... sure... so basically the foot pegs and hand grips should be absolutely mine. Check em.

    Great minds? Sorry but if you believe stealership's gospel that a 1990 Across has legit 660km...
    ...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.
