that kind of money for a 15 year old bike he will be hanging on to it for a while longer, yes it looks good but the lack of use will throw up its own problems as soon as you start using it.
Yeah themilage wouldbe recored on his MOT certificates wouldit not, also I think looking at the actual bike you would know if it had been clocked?
Even this one doesn't claim to be the lowest mileage in the U.K. but it must be a good contender. Must admit I was tempted but like the free spinning feel of my 50k miles one.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-FZS-600-FAZER-RED-ONE-OWNER-1735-MILES-YES-1735-MILES-UNIQUE-OPPORTUNITY-/172760418978?hash=item283952caa2:g:IfsAAOSwrfVZWPOL
I've got to admit that's stiff money even if the mileage is low but as I think has been previously mentioned a bike that sits unused for long periods could throw up problems and are those tyres OE ? thatll be an extra £200 for new boots then However if you read through the modern classic bike mags ( practical sprtsbikes & classic motorcycle mechanics ) they all rate the 600 and have it as an "emerging classic" so 10 years from now it could be worth double that.Not that I'd spend 3000 beer tokens on it but if you're a gambler looking to the invest some it might be worth a punt as SP paint scheme was only around a few years
From what I gather low emission zones ( if the same as central London ) are not applicable for cars and motorcycles but if its an ultra low emission zone then you're right but then you can only have euro 3 engine ( yup foccing EU) which is about a brand new bike BUT how long before it's euro4 only which will rule out any 600 that's not the new R6

Gotta say that if you are looking at buying a bike as an investment, well I wouldn't bother with the FZS600. Simply too many of them about. Also great bike that it is, is it really a bike that people will drool over in years to come?
Who knew, 25 years ago, that restored FS1E's would be selling for £5000
It's very difficult to predict which bikes will be regarded as desirable/collectable in years to come.
