Hi Guys,

I'm looking to get one of these little scooters to commute around town. There seems to be many around secondhand, but often with very high mileage. This was actually quite surprising to me that they last that long (30 000 to 40 000km sounds like alot for a scooter).

What would one need to look out for when buying one a BWS second hand, any deal breakers? Can one expect any major work/rebuilds at some point or are they as bomb proof as they look (for a scooter that is)?  Parts easy to find?
