Pimp my bike?

Right, first up a wee disclaimer, apologies if this is anyones on here.

As my quest for a bike starts, i am looking at K2 gixxers amongst the rest of the Gixxer range.

Anyway, i stumbled across this, https://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/529091.htm and i like the look of the K2's i think they were one of the best shapes, but this just seems a little OTT and wouldn't miss a set of neons.

I also don't like the idea of home servicing and feel it's a little over priced.

So, I need educated perhaps, is this over priced? I could return it to fairly standard easily, but is it better just to go out and try and find something a little more 'pure'?

Parkers price guide, not always accurate but does give a good idea.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 K2
2002/52
Original Price £8,999
Independent Dealer £3,135
Private Good £2,995
Private Poor £2,465
Part Exchange £2,745

So it does look overpriced. None of the mods add any physical value at all.

I think thats a tad overpriced to be honest. I think the bloke wants another grand for all the tat he has bolted on.

I wouldnt want to pay more than 3 for a k2 GSXR (unless very very low mileage)

EDIT: Ichy you beat me to it Thumbs Down

Yeah, i loved the part where it says it is home services, but has details to prove it.

Isn't that just an oppertunity to make the SH up?

I think it looks nice but there are better gsxr's out there. I can't wait till I can legally ride/afford one.
