	The discs are made by Brembo so common to many makes assuming they are original. They are also stainless so pittin would be a sign they have probably had a hard life. Depends how bad the pitting is really. If it's widespread and deep enough it may be an issue at mot but if the bike is generally sound just use it as a negotiating opportunity. seen how much of a lip is on the discs at the edge as they may just be worn out anyway. Generally the engines are solid. Just look out for metal on metal noises or clanking as it turns over (sprag clutch)
