VED on the EP3 might be a consideration, I'm paying £27/MONTH on mine (04 facelift).

Other than that, at 100k+ is where the camchain might start to give issues, which could prove a costly fix. If its on original clutch I'd be surprised if that's any use (I replaced mine at 70k IIRC)

Other than that, check the calipers are all free, Honda calipers sieze for fun, had to replace all of mine (two recently!).

Boring stuff aside, they're a fun daily once you get your head around working the midrange and upwards if you want to get anywhere. Mine was rather fun chasing Coaster/Marv/Scott/Mik et al around Scotland recently (we'll gloss over the window collapsing and the freak temp gauge :lol: )

edit: ps I have a full set of spare wheels with Dunlop wets/Nankang AR1 and some old Yokos, if you need a trackday set up 8-)
