I would think so. But did someone leave the stable door open? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Just pointing out in a roundabout way that you ask the question whether or not you've made the right decision, but you've already bought the bike. What if everyone said you'd made the wrong decision? Bit late then, isn't it?

Put the reg PL05 ZPR into https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ and IMO "no lights. daytime use only" probably means it's been a track bike.
That's not necessarily a problem but if nothing else, it's something I'd prefer to hear from the seller rather than BCF. |

Oooh good spot!

If it's been used a track bike then there's a good chance the OEM fairings were wrapped in bubble wrap and safely stored out of harms way.
If it hasn't been a track bike then wtf has been happening with the daylight only MOTs, the years with no MOT, the very low mileage, etc etc etc?
There's something in the bikes history that the dealer doesn't want you to know and that's what would worry me. There's billions of Gixxers to choose from so get your deposit back and then go and find one which has less unknowns. |

I hate[*] to say it, but £4K for a 12 year old bike that's been down the track and possibly had its odometer disconnected for much of its life might not be the deal of the century.
Also, "clean" bikes don't have scraped engines.
