Got one exactly the same, it looks clean and the price is good for the mileage but as duke says check the service history. They have fully adj. ohlins shock and Marchi's and by the looks of it that one has the later style swingarm - extra bracing and a bit more curvy!
If the history's good i'd seriously go and have a butchers.
Thanks for the feedback. He has replied back regarding my questions...
Thanks for your query. The bike was bought from M&S brand new and has been serviced by them. Back tyre brand new, front tyre good condition. There is a scratch on left and right brake levers.
Not quite sure what he means by a scratch on the left and right brake levers!?
I bought my 2002 900ss for £2500 in April 2005. It had 4.5k miles on the clock. But there was also evidence that it had suffered a low speed drop - mostly damage to an end can but also some pin holes in the fairing paint which is evidence of a respray.
This one, with only 3k miles and if it is in excellent condition, I'd say go for it at that price.
Just a word of caution, the guy has almost no feedback and doesn't seem to have bought/sold anything bike related before. I'd hate to see you get your fingers burnt. If you win the auction I'd only send £100 deposit by paypal and insist on the rest in cash on collection.
I usually ask for a photo of the item against a current newspaper is poss as it tends to link the buyer with the item.
A couple of people here have kindly offered to check it out for me. Unfortunately the guy selling it didn't get back to me with his contact details until this morning, which was too late.
If it doesn't sell I may still be able to get it if someone can check it out for me. I'm not going to bid on it without it being checked out. Will have to wait and see what happens.
