I don’t think this one has been cold stored w/o ever running the motor but I agree, having maintained a 39 year old bike, that everything has to be ‘excercised’ regularly or they dry up crack up freeze up or fail under pressure (use). If it (was) stored properly I think it’s a deal but for me, at 750 pounds before I even sit on it, it’s just too much heft to deal with. That’s nearly Harley weight and what I’d prefer is a lighter better cornering bike but still with a standard riding position.
