Recently sold my 07 very low mile Repsol as I was offered a lot of money for it. I intend to get another next year but just seen an 09 model up for a very low price as it’s done 49k! It has full service history and looks very clean, would people be put off by the miles? I won’t put many on it just weekend blasts.

 

Nope, especially with a full service history. I think I'm one of the lower "high" mileage owners on here with 33k on my F4i. Runs just as good as when I bought it with only 8k on it. Treat 'em right and 100k isn't a problem...

 

I would not give it a second thought. Buy it and don't look back.

 

For an older bike definitely buy on condition, not mileage.

 

It certainly looks tidy I’ve asked for more info. I just think it would be hard to sell if I needed to. It is a very good price though.

 

If it passes muster from an info perspective and is as you suggest a good price then if it is what you want... go for it
Have you heard it running (esp from cold)?

 

Its hundred miles from me and I have no time to travel just now I’m gona ask for a video

 

Good call, I did that when I bought my F4i via Ebay (was very worried about that, but fortunately worked out well)

Make sure it is started from cold and ask to see the temp gauge when warming up, I also asked to let it get warm enough for the fan to cut in to ensure that there were no leaks and it revved well when hot.

Good luck, if any doubts whatsoever... walk away

 

Are you thinking of purchasing it as an investment and plan on flipping it? Or are you buying it because you like it, it's in good shape and should be reliable and you want to go have fun with it? If it's the latter, then who cares how hard it is to sell?

 

If you buy a bike thinking about selling it, your doing life wrong.
While its high mileage, its not danger zone quite yet and you said you don't ride much. I have every receipt for every part and all fluids I've ever put into my F4i with the mileage it was done at. I've had it since new, and done all work myself. Even still, it needed new valves at about 83,000 miles as they had worn to pizza cutter thin and sharp.
