I came across an advert for a 2007 ST1300 for $4500 with only about 20k miles on it. All stock except tires. (Perfect condition, of course, according to the seller.) Would it be a massive change from a Ninja 650 and would it be a mostly positive one? I know it's a totally different class of bike. One thing I don't like about the Ninja 650 is the knee angle. Also, I can't carry much in just a tail bag. And there's just enough windscreen to increase windnoise. Other than those things I like it. There are other ST1300's that are a little older or have more miles for around the same price. $4000 to 5500, 17k to 52k miles. Sound about right?

Evaluating a bike for purchase. One thing I noticed was a high pitch metallic "tinking" at idle. Anything to be concerned about? (I've been reading about cam chain tensioners.) Sounds similar to this: https://soundcloud.com/heath-taylor-4/2007-ninja-650r-odd-metallic Also, should I get new tires immediately even if they have very low miles on them if they are 5-6 years old?
