Correct. I've just sold my battered winter hack Dullville for way over the odds on Ebay.

You will only find it hard if you over price your bike if I was buying from a private seller I'd expect a good deal if I want to get a grand added to a bike I'd go to a dealer with there warranty 6 months tax and 12 month m.o.t

Well the bikes got now 11months MOT & tax remaining, just had full service (done by me).
Id be surprised if a dealer would give you a warrenty on a RS and if they did and anything went wrong youd have hell from most dealers trying to get anything back.
