Coming from a car driver service history's means a lot to me but I'm seeing loads of bikes with part or no history. Should I discount them straight away or worth a risk still?

Seen a bike locally from a 2nd hand dealer, pretty much what I want 12k on the clock but has no history and just a few old MOT's.

Don't know what to do and don't know what really to look for nor do I know anyone who does.

I use the bike every day so can't buy a lemon!
 
Its 10years old so not new. But yer I find it hard to believe that if someone had taken the time to service it themselves they'd keep receipts etc.

Think I'll give it a miss.
 
I've been told no history at all var a couple of old MOT's. If there was receipts of oil changes done by the owner periodically then I'd be OK with it, but nothing at all worries me.

And its from a small 2nd hand dealer so can't even judge off the owner, he probably picked it up at auction.

The bike look clean from the pics but its not hard to give it a polish etc.
