Mine cost me £2990. Not immaculate , but very clean, 15000 on the clock (v. low for a 2002 by any standard). The paint job is by Dream Machine (and I love it!)- what would that have cost to have done myself? So I throw £300 at it to Ivans it. Say £1000 - £1300 for R1 USD forks and R6 rear shock? (gonna have to pay someone else to fit it all). Odds and sods (rad guard, rad covers etc), say £300 by the time I'm done. £300 for the Scorpion can (yeah I know, how much?!! :eek ) £5300 tops? And that's now set up for me. Got many 1000s of miles use in it yet.
Add £1500 and that's what you're looking at to get this one to the spec I'm chasing. £6800. But 10,000 less miles from when you buy it. Or you could leave it as it is, but then you're not getting the best from it.
No point in pretending you're not going to use it, no point in pretending it'll always be this clean. You will, and it won't.
I can't decide if that's good or not... :\
