If that was a 2000 R6 with 6000 on then it would sell easy for £2500

I own a 2003 model one on an 04 plate. condition and mileage reflects the price I guess. I wouldnt say £2500 was high for a 2003 bike with 6000 miles on it. If its a bike someone wants and its real clean then someone will pay more for it. Id rather pay more for a minter than less for somthing with dents in the tank etc cause that would annoy me!!! bikes hold there money these days anyway

A good service history makes it worth more for me. My bike costs around 500 euros per season. Tyres, pads, chains etc - it all adds up. If that's all new, you've got 500 or more euros "added" value, compared to a bike with worn replaceable parts. It's not the same 2003 bike if the rear shock absorber is worn, or replaced and almost brand new. Etc.

Still, a 10+ year old bike should have all the rubber parts almost rotten, and that can be annoying. Most seals will be due for a change. So when I bought my Fazer it was a bit under 10 years old, wouldn't buy it now, but I'm also very happy with it and don't see me selling it either.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.

When I was looking for a Foxeye-saw one for sale in Wolverhampton-would have bought it 12000miles & £1800(negotiable)- with a few minor scratches on side of rear fairing but someone beat me to it! Cheapest one Ive seen advertised was 1700 & dearest 2500-theres no logic in it since you could buy a tidy Gen 1 thou for the same money. must be demand-cheaper tax,insurance, good mpg & best all round sub 1000cc bike you can buy (im slightly prejudiced here!)

I paid 2300 for a box eye with 30 thou on the clock, its a 2000 model, not a mark on it like brand new, worth every penny.

I paid 2000 for '03 fox eye with 19000 on the clock. Service history wasn't brilliant but it was from one owner and from last year did not do a single mile. I asked someone experienced to have a look on it and the answer was: If you like the bike just take it. Sounds great, looks great, chain, pads, discs nearly new, very good tyres and only one small chip between the lights :-( but very very tiny. Otherwise great. I was happy to pay 2000 for it. There were plenty slightly cheaper with double miles and year or two older but this one was the one I liked. And now I love it ;-)
