A 2001/25k FZS in good condition goes for £2000-2600. So this dealer is essentially asking £3600 for custom front and read ends, and some other parts on a bike that is in average condition, in fact it needs a proper valet which the dealer or the actual owner should have done before putting it up for sale
Pretty much, just replacing standard bits with say a a 3k Ohlins shock doesn't add 3k to the bike. Same with any other replacement parts that have to be on the bike, calipers/discs, front end, wheels etc.
This is a bit more custom so a one off and will attract a small premium, but it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.
