Go for it.. They're from what i have heard quite reliable.
I mean do what you want. But nowadays parts for chinese bikes are highly availiable even if the bike breaks.. But from what i've heard Reliable bikes.

HPI check, Ask why it's so cheap, when you say it's the same years as spicy's what year is his? My need TLC or some major work doing costing more than £500 & not worth it atall.

Go tyre kick it, sit on it test the brakes feel for play in the wheels, forks or swingarm, check the suspension look for any dents or cracks on the frame. Do all the checks first, ask for the reg, couple insurance quotes & then decide, don't decide because its cheap.

Go over the bike throughly because if you don't you may be in for a headache. Hope it's not the case but take a good look. Maybe get a few pictures to us on here, check the swingarm linkages on them bikes. They tend to sag quite alot when you sit on them so the swingarm link may have taken a beating in it's life, 4k doesn't sound alot but depends on the age & how hard the biked been pushed for them 4k.

Let us know how it goes.
