hey guys, after my forum posts and the various replies i got i decided that i would ask the seller some more questions, here are the questions along with the replies:

do you have the service records available?
yes i do have the previous services records from both myself and the previous owner

does it include the two black keys and the red immobilizer key?
yes it includes all 3

do the tires need changed?
the tires will need changed after a season or two, the previous owner changed the tires, they have around 80 left and i dont think they have expired date wise, i will check when im back in state

how long has the bike been sitting unused?
he bike has been sitting unused since september 2016 when i left for training, that makes it around 5 months.

has the plastic tank had an of the common issues?
no sir, not that i have noticed.

and now for the big one...
can you have the bike started by the time i come to look at it?
i understand your concern, i will try my hardest to have the bike running by the time you come and look at it, wether that needs it jumped, charged or a whole new battery.

The car must not be running when you use it to jump the bike. It should be capable of starting the car.

sorry for the lack of knowledge but could you explain why this is so important, ofcourse i am going to do it but id like to know why :)

Monsters come up for sale all the time these days......within your stated price point. From ALL the information provided, this sounds fast and questionable.

Be prepared to walk away.
