That's a very nice bike Rufus! Looks like it's been well looked after too.
If I were you I'd go and have a look at it first though just to make sure there's no hidden horors but to be fair I don't think there will be.
As far as price is concerned I would of thought that for £1350 you would be getting a good bike + spares for your money, mileage is not too much of an issue if it's been cared for properly.
Good luck with the buying. ____________________ ZX6R F3 |

Its over priced for what it was, .i.e. standard bandit. That said clearly a lot of work has been done on it that makes it worth the money if thats what floats your boat as it were.
I would definately go and see it, more to look at the quality of the upgrades and the guy has done it all competently.
Would not worry to much about the spares as most of them will be useless to you in that they are in effect visible parts that will downgrade the bike to its original state. Putting the old wheels in for example will destroy its current looks if you had to do it. None the less they are handy to have in an emergency to get the bike going.
As nasty says, the mileage is not such an issue if its bee well looked after and the exhaust pipes dont look as if they have been too hot, although that may be becaus they are very new.
If it was a bike I was really interested in style wise then I would be happy to £1,350 for it, you clearly like it so I would get in quick before there are bids on it and haggle a bit, try him at £1,200 and see where he goes then meet in the middle. ____________________ Current - 2007 Suzuki Bandit GSF1250 - 1999 Suzuki TL1000R

Interestingly he's got it listed as an 'SX' which should mean it's faired, which it isn't. This could mean as matt said it's been dropped and had the fairings removed.
Also Parkers list this bike as £790 - £1,130 (private poor - good).
If you want to pay for the extras and tarting, on essentially a 9 year old bike with 5 months TAX + MOT then I suppose £1,350 isn't too bad, but as that's his starting price, I think it's too high. (IMHO) ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

its definatly not worth it.
if you want a streetfighter, get a slabby GSXR 1100 for the same sort of price. at least its a proper streetfighter instead of these immitation underpowered bandits.
the whole point of a streetfighter is to have a street bike with a superbike engine. not a half-arsed engine like a bandit. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.
