What is the story on the dealer prep? I would like to be aware of what can go wrong so I can try to avoid such problems.

From what I can tell it wasn’t prepped at all. Muddy water slung up under the rear fender and all over the swing arm,water spots in some places,fork oil on one fork seal and the fork tube and the worst part is the headlight bracket has got some rust spots on it. This bike only had 1 mile on it so I know it wasn’t ridin other than than that. One thing I’m positive about is this bike in that condition would not have been on the showroom floor in that condition. Now to be fair here the bike was shipped from Mo to Ca so some dust is to be expected but to be this filthy,not even close. I do love the bike,can’t remember when was the last time I bought something likened his that got me going just didn’t expect to have to clean off fork oil from the front end. I’m going to get in touch with the dealership and ask them what exactly I paid for in regards to them prepping the bike. And as far as buying a used opposed to new,new in a heart beat. I can’t imagine anybody buy a used CB1100 when a new can be bought at half price.
