Hello fellow dogs. I have been running my 660R with NO issues for almost 30 000kms BUT one trip where I saw first had what the S10 is capable of on and very off road it's time for an upgrade. I do quite a bit of highways during the week and looking for the extra powder and improved braking etc.

I have my eyes on a 2011 model with under 20k on the clock. Seems well looked after although 10k service was done by the owner (oil change only I believe?) It has full crashbars (which looks like a play area at Spur imho), bashplate and spots. Price seems good at 88K but should I be concerned that it doesn't have agent history? The current owner is willing to take it to the closest dealership for a checkout.
Tires 40% left
20K service coming up.

I have a "not-so-technical" mate going to have a look today so any pointers for him to have a closer look at or am I wasting time and should I only look at the Yamaha report option?

Any advice will be appreciated. The bike is located in Centurian.
