Thoughts on buying 2003 model

Hi all - I came across a private owner selling his 2003 with 3700 miles on it for about $5600. The body is in great condition, the guy looks like he really took care of the bike. I'm interested to get feedback on what to look out for, MPG, repair issue, TOC, etc.

I'm also looking at an 04 Aprilia Tuono with 8200 miles for about $5700.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Greetings

the guy looks like he really took care of the bike
Has he changed CCTs to manuals?

Search the workshop section on known issues that crop up, though there aren't that many. Try getting a test ride to see if the VTR suits you.

Seems about 1000 to 1500 too high on the Hawk.
