Hello Urban Tangleweed
I've been looking at the price of loads of bikes recently trying to find the one which is waiting for me.
Okay, it's a mint bike and low mileage (sounds as if the mileage can be verified as well). But it is the oblong headlight model (we can argue about this all day but the Foxeye looks light years more modern), and it's in a love-it-or-hate-it colour scheme.
It'll depend very much on where you're located as well, i.e. population density, especially with that colour scheme.
Personally I think £2500 is way off the mark. It may sit on a dealer's showroom floor at £2500 waiting for somebody who used to have the same bike to buy it out of sentimentality, but I reckon £1600 to £1700 would be plenty for it.
I've seen a very nice blue 2001 bike with 13k miles on it go for £970. Then a red 2000 bike with 13.5k miles go for £1450. I think the low miles ain't gonna add a grand.
Cheers,
Andy
