My dealer printed the VIN service history and open campaigns. That was more useful than the seller saying everything was current.

Integrated gear is cleaner, but I chose a separate airbag so it can move between summer and cool-weather jackets. Both approaches have a real tradeoff.

I would post the final route the morning of the ride after checking weather and official closure information. Conditions change faster than old forum posts.

Pressure checks and throttle habits make comparisons messy. I track mileage for my own bike and treat everyone else's number as a broad range.

Bike sits in an unheated garage for roughly three months. Battery is a normal AGM. Curious whether people leave a smart maintainer connected continuously or rotate it between vehicles.

Check wheel lips and brake rotor feel carefully. A clean title does not mean it never met a curb.
