also spare a thought for the brightest and best of our young people in the armed forces, currently overseas fighting and dying
Don't sound very bright to me.
By your reasoning the smart ones will be those hanging around your local street corner supping Cider I take it?

unless the price is very attractive people just won't bite, and if you lower it until they do you'll just feel like you gave it away.Right there, is my whole experience crystalised into one sentence. Time for plan B I reckon. Keep it for now and....... TAXI!
6) Slim the whole advert down, if folk are initially interested they will ask about the detail
I'll definately be keeping an eye on the sale though.TBH. There won't be anything to keep an eye on. It will either sell for at least £2100 or I'll keep it.
On that, I saw a cracking listing a few months back for a ZZR1400 and the seller's missus was in most of the pics on the bike,wearing a SUPER TIGHT full leather suit. No idea if he sold the bike but she was fit as!
Best bet is take a picture with wife/gf half naked astride the bike that will do the job, seems to work for others.
On a serious note take a look of the 2001 blue (the best colour) bike a couple places from yours on eBay bike is in Maidstone kent 30k on the clock, nice reg plate evo ! has genuine belly pan, twin high level cans, genuine yam touring screen the expensive one and many other extras new c/s and fresh mot he offered me the bike for £1800 and said its very tidy, taking that into account if a dealer offered you £1800 I'd take it.Cheers for the message CT.
All the best.
You wanted honest opinions so I'd make the following pointsCheers Bob!
1) Get rid of the colour and formatting of the advert, it's not necessary. A clean, straight forward advert will help sell the bike.
2) Your price is ok for a dealer but too high for a private sale. I paid a lot less for a great 03 plate 13k mile FZS600 a few months back
3) You say new tyres but you also say they have done 2500 miles, choose one line and drop the other
4) No service history, some may be wary. Got any receipts or anything that might back up the servicing?
5) Drop the bit about the matrimonial issues, you need a car - end of.
6) Slim the whole advert down, if folk are initially interested they will ask about the detail
7) "When I say totally reliable I MEAN it. I would go anywhere on this bike tomorrow without hesitation." again drop this, it's unnecessary and smacks of desperation
Hope you take the above as constructive and good luck with the sale, she looks in great condition. Let the pics speak for themselves except for the cam cover pic that shows corrosion, drop it.
Bob
Have you tried phoning round a few dealersDid that prior to advertising, to try for a no-nonsense sale..... The £1800 best offer by a bike dealer for a straight purchase is looking more attractive by the day
oh, and you have let chancers know you have to get shot of it.I have put that I'm only selling because I really need a car.
me i'd buy it £6,66 lolThought I recognised the ebay name Luke. I take it you received my auto decline for your offer
I also think that Classified Adverts perform far less well than auctions.In my experience, Classifieds with best offer on Ebay always get me what I want and make the best sense cost and timewise.
Feck me, how lucky is this guy?
