Never used either by the sounds of it. 4200 miles over 9 years is about 450 miles a YEAR. I’ve done that much in one day. I did about 10,000 miles my first year and I think most people do at least 5,000 miles without trying too hard. All means this could be a great bike to buy but I would not give much weight to the previous owners comments as he obviously did not ride it much.
If you do decide to get this bike then as SantaCruzRider says, check into insurance rates before you buy. I’ve a feeling it’s not going to be pretty viewing.
Be safe whatever you choose.
