I wouldn't worry no-I don't have bikes as ornaments-as Nick Mason said about his Ferrari Daytona " if you're not going to use it you may as well fill the engine with concrete"

It would only be my creaky bones, not fear of losing notional value, which would keep me from riding it.

As I have yet again failed to win the lottery, you're unlikely to be bidding against me on either of the above.

Can I ride this in the Desmo Due class B races? If not, then I'm not buyin it.

So as the thread started life as a 996R comment what is a reasonable price for a tidy, one owner bike?

Hmm,....ad says the bike has done 623 miles,while the speedo is showing 1003.

1003 km - I think

Money and sense don't always go together. They say a fool and his money are soon parted, but how did he get it in the first place.

Wot no red mirrors? Are the air tubes carbon, can't tell. were the carbon on the original or did everyone have to buy eftermarket ones? Those tyres have seen some action for a bike that has done only 623, he's had it lent over a long way. Not the original tyres maybe, or trackday. If original tyres, how many revs did he take it to for the first 623 miles pre running in?

Looks the biz though, needs a front number board as well plus some carbon bits
