I think it might be the mileage as well, sad fact as that is. Given the choice between a badly looked after bike with 15k on the clock and a meticulously serviced and treated one with 35k I'd know which one I would go for.
A useful tip is looking at the eBay completed listings for the thou, I've just done that out of curiosity and it paints an interesting picture, about 85% just haven't sold, and those that do seem to have been auctions that started with a low initial listing price. Maybe it's a price point thing, I know that I often search with my maximum amounts rounded up, £1k to £2k for example.
As has been said, it's a lovely looking bike in great condition (my 600 only looks that good in the dark, after it's rained, and it's foggy, if I squint a bit...) you really would think you would have had no problem in getting a buyer.
