mine cost about £1.5K and had similar mileage when I bought it from a dealer a few years ago, I also think it's a cat C write off as well (not told when he sold it to me though) so unless you've got declared mods you want to claim for I'd take the offer.

Anyone have experience here? Do I have to take that? I paid £1,995 for it and it was in very good condition, about 23 thou miles...
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Wished I'd seen this earlier, as probably a bit late now, but if it helps others...wrote off my Gen 2 Fazer 1000 a month ago, due to tail pack slipping and locking back wheel, I only had the bike 3 months and covered 1000 miles as still riding R1 which I have now given to my son.
[/size][/color]I paid £5,500 for the Fazer as I shopped around, but when looking to replace it, couldn't find anything else with same spec for less than £6,000 and believe me, I searched Nationwide!
[/size][/color]Aviva offered me £5500, but I dug in and they settled on £6,000, as I wasn't impressed with Gen 2 Fazer 1000, after enjoying Gen 1 for two years I am now going for Fazer 8, ex demo 400 miles in Rochdale, and they will deliver to Kent included in price, also has Akropovic, so hoping will fill the gap, a friend whi has changed from R1 to Fazer 8 is sending back encouraging feedback, but I will know for myself soon, as it is arriving Tuesday.
Age is a question of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!
If I had a brain I would be dangerous
