How many miles does a Honda Blackbird need?
If it doesn’t, a £100 rebuild or aftermarket shock could be on the cards. Tyres wear much better than on some other big bruisers – you should be looking at 5000 miles for a rear, a little less if ridden hard. Ask the owner how long ago he changed the rear to see how hard the bike has been used.

The ignition key was linked to a built-in immobiliser, too. In the past two years the bike has hardly changed, making the two-year-old machine very good value.
