It's not the maintenance that is an issue, rather, buying a bike which will/could need a lot of it, when you could get similar for the same money that will need none. Full suspension, if ridden will need maintenance, the more linkages, the more needed, if buying used, you don't know how much / well it has been maintained before, it may become a money pit, at the same time, it may not.
