Personally I feel passing on the cost of the servicing to rectify problems is not all that friendly. But that’s only my opinion!
Brake hoses will need doing. Original pipes and no centre stand as mentioned. For me it would need more money spending on it and that makes it too expensive. Just because it passed the MOT doesn’t mean it’s all good. Has the battery been changed, head bearings greased, suspension linkages, brake pistons etc etc?
:agree
Some mate he is, sorry chap he's ripping you off. Looking at the pictures this bike isn't a nice stored for 7yrs minter, I'm sorry to say. In my opinion this is lower 3rd for condition and could well be needing a lot of work, chain, shock, battery, stand, tyres god knows what else, for what is top 3rd money for the year . That little lot could cost you a close to grand or more if you include labour.
My advice either pay close to what he paid £500 ish or walk away, there're a good few other Fazers out there and these will be VGC for that sort of money or for a bit more minters.
Don't let your heart rule your head, a good Fazer you can sell for almost what you paid for it and then spend you 5-6k budget on something you want after you've gained experience. That said you'll be hard pushed to find something that much better than a Fazer
