The 640s and 625s are electric and kick, the 660s are just kick start

Makes all the right noises for further investigation. Number of miles by this owner, number by previous etc.

Depends if you are thinking of laning on it.

Mine had a loud pipe on it that the previous owner changed back to standard, personally I prefer it quieter.

Far too heavy and cumbersome to lane on that.

Great road moto though. Not as fragile as some.
Significantly faster than you.....

The idea is to be my everyday bike but may have put offroad wheels on it for a laugh

Moz I've used my LC640 off road in Wales and Pyranees in all terrain, she's not too heavy at all, she might be too tall, I stand at 5'9 with 34 inside leg and she's perfect for me.
I wasn't keen on riding her as a commuter as they're not really built to sit at speed in a single gear, I'd listen for knocking..... Cover exhaust after it's been warmed up and if it sounds like a bag of nails it might need an engine rebuild, they are renowned for engine bearing issues.
Life is the stuff that happens to you while you're making other plans.
