[Red Herring]

I don't think anyone buying a ten year old bike is expecting it to be completely blemish free unless you have described it as such. Anything ugly such as a dent in the tank, cracks in the fairing or proper scratches I would expect to see mentioned but otherwise a general "usual wear and tear" covers such things. Like I said, a proper mint bike will sell itself for good money providing someone sees it as such, the problem is getting people to travel a decent distance for a bike advertised for top money because there's always a certain amount of scepticism around it's description/condition.
