which is the better option low mileage or service history???

[Bakerboy]

have the chance to view 2 x tigers both 2004 cast wheel models,one has covered 24k with loads of farkles,the other is a low mileage 9k but with some marks on the engine casing,which is more important, service history & maintenance or low mileage,for the record both are the same price

24k is nothing ....buy the one that speaks to you  :D

Ive just p/x'd my 04 Tiger with 50k miles on it, running better than ever, and I may be biased, but looked better than some Id seen with half the mileage.
Personally Id rather buy a bike thats been used and looked after than one thats been sat in a shed half its life, but we are all different, for some low mileage is everything.

The 24k bike with Farkles sounds like a loved bike.

Chris your right & I do have a preference for the 24k model with its farkles,but am awaiting an aswer as to whether the big 24k service has been carried out?cast wheel model £3150

When folk talk about service in my book all I'd be interested in 'Has the oil been changed' as for big service it won't make any difference because I assume you'll strip the bike anyway,K+N,blanking plate,fuel filter,I'd have the latest tune put in at a dealer as a starting point,and even if the guy had said he'd changed the oil yesterday I'd still change it.

I notice it took two posts though.  The old, "I've told you what to look for, look for it yourself" approach followed immediately by words to self:  "Don't be an arse, you know what to look for so will take you half the time..." follow-up.

He's being gentle with me as I'm local to him & may gently kick him in the b*llock's,also when I f*ck up anything,he is close enough to be able to sort it out
