Gotta agree with the other blokes about buying a minty bike for top dollar...unless you intend to polish it more than ride it you will end up with a bike you daren't use for eight months if the year. Only commenting onnit because I've made that same mistake. Did a similar thing with my first bandit, early model on a p reg. used it relentlessly, then when winter came got bored so polished swinging arm etc etc, then shit myself about using it whenever the weather looked dodgy and ended up flogging it to buy another stocker! If you want a showpiece fazer thou a mint low miles bike is Oakley dokely, but they are far too good a bike not to use lots, you won't be able to help yourself. If I went back to a gen one it would be a case of waiting til one came up on here with the ivans/ r6 shock and possibly r1 front end, so I could just buy it and ride it without spending any more dosh. My last gen 1 had forty odd thou up, and ran as good as new, the engines tarnish a bit on the outside, but inside there still all good 
With the greatest of respect to the bloke selling the mint gen one or anyone else flogging one for top dollar, once they get to that money your too close to a gen 2. I paid. £4600 for a 09 mint gen two, with ABS and 2800 miles on the clock, from a dealer. Delivered to my door. Meaning I can use it loads in all weathers and bang plenty of miles onnit and not worry about it. Now the cold weather is here they will be even cheaper. Your choice old son
