Even though the RX3 is a bargain new I usually buy my motorcycles from the second hand market. Besides being inherently cheap I can also be a serial bike purchaser and don’t like taking financial hits when I sell a bike. I’ve found a few 2015’s within a reasonable distance from me. The closest is 250 miles but only has 100 miles on it. I do not own a trailer nor an automobile with a hitch. Would this bike be OK to ride the 250 miles or would a service be required? Anything in particular I should be looking for with bikes having 1,200 down to 100 miles? Thanks in advance.
I would say take it easy as csc recommends with the rpm requirement in the break in period. Rtk is right, these things are proven. And known oil is always preferable. Only a quart or more so it could be changed on the road easily before final launch. Hope you get a good deal.

I agree, fellow cheap bastard
