Might be buying a Speed 4, opinions?
So, I had a bike that recently got stolen and I've been looking at a temporary replacement. I came across a 2002 Speed 4. The wants $3500 for it but I talked him into taking $3000. It's got about 12k miles on it. It sounds great. No valve chatter, squeaks, or other annoying noises. No oil leaks that I can see. The transmission shifts smoothly. It does have a little corrosion around the Two Bros exhaust and the paint is starting to chip in a few places. The clutch still feels nice and tight. The throttle does stick a little bit but is easy to roll back forward and hardly notice it.
When I took a look at it today the check engine light came on but we couldn't figure out what the reason was. The sale kind of hinges on the reason for the check engine light coming on.
With all this in mind, do you think it's a good deal? I've never dealt with Triumphs before and I no nothing about them. Is there anything I need to look for. Is there a reason I should avoid it?
Any info in either direction would be great. If anyone has an idea on what to look for to see what the check engine light's for, that'd be great too.
Thanks.
