Default Advice needed, poss purchase tomorrow

Hi all, like it says above, looking at a 95 CBR1000F tomorrow with a view to buying, bike has done 45000mls, anything i should be looking for, know about cam chain rattle and expensive exhaust collector, but are there any other things i should be looking for, really dont want to buy a duff one, friend of mine recently got a 89 with 70,000 miles on and i wa really impressed when i rode it, so want one for me to play on.
Cheers for any advice
Rob

Hi Rob,from another Rob!

Yes deffo check the exhaust and engine at that mileage,i bought one of the same year,and had to replace the exhaust which wern't cheap!

Another thing to check is the combined braking system works ok (unless they ain't already been de-linked as this can be problematic.

Depends what sort of money it is.But i would recommend these bikes,i've had mine a year,and done over 10.000 miles with no major problems.

Good luck!
