In that sort of condition I'd aim at £2k but be prepared to step down to a minimum of £1800 especially now that winter is beginning to settle in (bikes are worth less throughout winter)

Nice bike. You could try your luck at £2000 but that would be more of a shop price imo. I'd ask £1800 and take around £1700.

I reckon £2k maybe optimistic. This time last year I paid £1800 for a 2003 FZS600 in similar nick, but with only 13k on clock. So probably around £1700.

Nice looking bike though!

Granted £2k is a stretch, but its worth a try if nothing else. The bike does look in fantastic condition with several added extras :) Unfortunately, it's finding someone else that is willing to buy for that much in the first place - sad that you are selling but good luck

I can't even shift mine for £1295 at the moment anywhere, only place I have yet to try is ebay. Mine is in similar condition minus the thou rear shock, belly pan and sporty can extras. Not that much more mileage either, so no offence I agree 2k is optimistic. There are too many other nice ones on ebay currently that people are selling for nothing...real pain in the ass. Good luck anyway I don't mean to bring a downer on it just hope you don't waste advertising money like I have.
