First bike, first post! Is this Seca worth it?

[Kevinisinuse]

I'm looking at this Seca for my first bike and I'm wondering what your guys' thoughts are...

I asked him and he said the miles are correct, on both the bike and the engine.

Any questions I should ask him tomorrow?

Thanks!

I've also been looking at this one...

$200 more and it has 13,000 miles.

Non runners are crap shoots, and unless you have the know how to find out exactly what the issue is before buying, then its worthless. Don't believe what sellers say, a non runner is a non runner. Every single add for a bike says 'just needs battery and carb clean', might apply to about 1% of them.

The 400 looks nice and is priced right. Ride it, bring a compression tester, check for noises and leaks. Looks like it might need a new rear tire, hard to tell from the pics.

Also, I highly doubt that 400 has 2500 miles for that price. Might be a typo?

If that first one runs good, it's a very good deal.
