    Needs to be restricted unless you have a full A licence over 2 years.

    Bike is not restricted, i was told conflicting stories, some say it must be, some say not, i asked the insurer and they didn't know, asked a Honda dealer, he said no.

    Its over the power to weight ratio(0.16kW/kg) so it shouldn't need restriction.

    The only thing i would recommend OP is to get your buddy to check for crash damage. The paniers cover the forks so check that they arent bent etc.

    Exhaust headers rot, so check those are in good nick. A motad stainless pipe will cure it for about 300 Euro or thereabouts.

    Why not back up your point of view with an argument rather than unhelpful idiot comments?

    Well, that would require him not being an idiot, and that just isn't possible.
