I’m considering buying a R3 I’ve seen advertised. It’s a 2020 but only done a couple of hundred miles, the (lucky) guy has a few bikes and doesn’t use this one.
A concern I have is other than it being serviced by the dealer it’s been parked in his garage for around 18 months leaving only 6 months warranty remaining. He’s not used it enough to have any issues show up and be fixed under warranty. If I buy it now it’ll just be parked in my garage for 6 months over winter so there will be no warranty left when I come to actually ride it.
Buying an extended warranty is out of the question as its gone past the 13 month purchase deadline, so should I buy this bike which would effectively have no warranty?
Is an R3 solid and reliable enough to own out of warranty or too technical with many things to go wrong?
Is there anything in particular issues/problems etc I should check or look out for when viewing the bike?
