Help the New guy pick a bike...

[Autostrada Pilot]

I, personally, would rather a bike have 20, 30, 40 thousand miles and have been properly maintained.  There are several members who have 100,000+ miles on their bikes (and even 1 or 2 who have over 200,000 miles).

The 10 year old bike with 1,000 miles doesn't appeal to me, as the seller typically wants higher than market value and I know that I'll have to drop hundreds of dollars to replace lots of rubber bits that are likely brittle from sitting.


But that's just my opinion....

I suggest S2R 1k for sure... but then im a bit biased.   But like I said before, I would look for one that has had, at the very least, the first service completed (7k + miles)
