구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Bulletproof but corrosion-prone
The 656cc engine is famously durable and often sails past 60,000 miles with just regular oil and valve-clearance checks. The weak point is finish quality — check the frame, swingarm, engine casings, fasteners and exhaust headers for furring and rust, especially on winter-ridden bikes.
Know your engine year
2005–2006 models use the last of the air/oil-cooled carburetted motors, while 2007-on switched to a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine with optional ABS and a two-position adjustable seat height. The later bikes are smoother and cleaner-running, and ABS versions command a useful premium.
Cheap to buy, easy to sell
Huge production numbers keep prices low, but demand from commuters, learners stepping up and A2-restricted riders means a tidy, MOT'd example always sells quickly. Budget for fork oil, a rear shock refresh and a seized rear caliper — the soft budget suspension and neglected brakes are the usual money items.
