Price doesn't seem too horrible to me, but obviously it needs to be seen (and heard) in the flesh really. I'd guess a dealer would want somewhere around a grand more than the £1800 for a bike that's got a reasonably low mileage for the age.

I'd agree that the suspension mods are probably the most useful thing to pick up on a bike to save you doing them, I'd then look at Braided hoses, hugger, front mudguard extender, folding levers and crash mushrooms in slower time.

If it's not quite right when you view it, walk away, plenty of SVs around to choose from, and as a returning newer biker I really think you can't choose a better machine
