Dont know that bike in particular but I bought a 996 from Jim unseen, easter time.
The bike was exactly as described, he was very helpfull on the phone.
When the bike was delivered he rung up to check everything was OK and to remind me to check the tyre pressures before riding it as he hadn't been able to. He seemed to me to be genuinely bothered that I was happy with the bike.
I'd buy another bike from him no problem.
