a 2004 Honda 599 (Hornet for anyone not in the US)? I found one with 1200 miles and the asking price is almost right where it should be. I sat on it for awhile, and it felt extremely comfortable. Gauges were easy to see, levers were easy to grab, handlebar high enough to have just a little weight forward but I am sitting upright, foot pegs in a good spot, etc... My only concern is the lack of miles, or should that even be a concern? It works out to two tanks of gas per year; I am worried that isn't enough use to keep a 4 year old bike in good working order. Also, it looks like it was dropped in the driveway (no mechanical damage that I can see, just some rock chips from where it hit, no sliding or skidding marks).

Anyway, I am just looking for a bit of input. I do not know much about Honda bikes, but I haven't seen anything bad in all the research I have done the past couple of days.

Thanks,

RxZ
