welcome to the forum.
look for a bike that’s been used (and therefore serviced/maintained) regularly. bikes that are barely used seem to store up problems that combined can lead to large bills rectifying many bits an bobs. a pristine low mileage bike that only does 20 miles a year, to the mot and back, isn’t necessarily a winner.
if you find a specific bike/model start asking on here.
belts need changing every two to three years (12-18k miles), along with reshimming the valves. they’re pretty easy to work on if you’re at all mechanically minded, although desmo shims can take a bit of getting your head round.
what’s your previous biking experience and approximate age?
