Hello everyone!
My name is Keith and while I'm not currently a Rocket 3 owner, I hope to be one in the near future. Since I have a few questions about a bike I'm interested in, I'd thought I would come to the experts.
I currently have my eye on a 2011 R3 Roadster with, get this, 1,091 miles.
I've texted with the seller a bit, and it turns out that this bike has been sitting in storage for the past 5 years. He said that it's oil and battery were recently changed, and that he has ridden it a couple of times in the past two weeks. He says it is mechanically sound, but then, who wouldn't when trying to sell their bike?
My question is what should I look for when I drive the 2.5 hours to go see it? I would expect maybe some dry rot on the tires and to see if the same thing happened to any visible seals and gaskets, but I am not sure if there's anything else specific to check for.
Thank you for your time,
Keith
