You've got to be kidding, you try and buy what is in effect a brand new bike for £2k. Worth every penny, especially as it hasn't got any of those pesky electronics you get on new bikes..... The only thing he didn't mention was brake fluids and fuel hoses, I'd probably be tempted to change those but even then it's still a bargain if you want a curvy.
ps: and I'd probably chuck a pair of tyres at it as well.

You might be right, still its a 400 mile round trip so not really a goer, although might be worth an email. I would like to know what was done to recommission it. Anything rubber may need replacing, were carbs cleaned etc.
I am looking for something I can jump on ride so I can work on my Bandit. Not enough time to work on two bikes.
