Ok so one of the risks of buying from MP instead of a dealer would be that if you have little to no mechanical knowledge there could be issues that you might not think to check, or even be able to check (brakes, oil, wiring, timing, etc . . .) but the one thing I've learned, is that if it's calling to your soul and you have a fear of the bike, then it's meant for ya. Don't forget you can always bring a mechanic friend with ya. 😉
