Hoping for some technical advice! Looking at a 2010 Evo 250 and from the pics I have I can see the black coating on the stanchion has been worn away (only to the limit of the fork stroke). The seller has advised that seals are good with no leaking and no scoring, pitting etc to the leg itself. I haven't seen any other bikes for sale with this same wear. How concerned should I be? Quick Google doesn't suggest it is a common problem and that as long as the fork operates normally its OK...but not much support either way for this. I guess at the worst I would need to replace the forks - there seems to be breakers out there if I dont want to spend big money on trick kit. Thoughts would be welcome! Thanks in advance.

Appreciate it is all about condition! I guess my question should be what does £2k buy you in reality around that sort of model? Something ropey, reasonable or in showroom condition?

Morning all, A bike has popped up that I am considering, and was hopeful that you could advise on whether the price was reasonable? 2011 Beta Evo 250, road registered, recent clutch and graphics. Also comes with an arrow front pipe with original as well. Do trick pipes make a difference on these? If it was removed would it need re-jetting? Does this seem reasonable? Looks tidy in the photos and but need to view it as aware photos can look more flattering than reality! Thanks in advance.
