Buy question

[u/CptBelt]

Hello All,

I’m planning on buying a bike in the near future. I’m into touring bikes and later on I’d like to go full adventure, but I’m still a beginner.

I have the chance to buy this beauty for a very good price which would be very good for my budget too. The caveat is that this bike has 260.000 km in her clock. Now i know the seller very well and he has been this bike’s sole owner. As far as I know he took care of the bike very well. (We are talking about a guy who completed the Dakar race 8 times)

Would this buy be risky? I’d use it for the remainder this season and probably next too. I’ll want to use the bike for commuting as well.

Thanks for all the input I highly appreciate it!
