I'd have said about £400 or even less maybe.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I was offered a bike in a simerler condition for £400. When I added up the cost of fuly servicing the carb changing al the hoses, new fluids, brake pads and tires. just wasnt worth it.

At that age, the plug caps and HT leads might be on their way out.
The rubbers to the airbox also.

Check for corrosion on the exhaust, they tend to crack at the 4-1 rather than rust.

The three 600s and 3 900s I've had, theres never been a problem with rust in the tank, but it's common for them to rust on the inside of the frame. The fairing infill panels usually are cracked by overtightening the screws.

I found the 600s to be a bit iffy starting in the wet, ended up putting vasoline around the seals to the plugs.

I wouldn't pay more than £400 really, it's not that low mileage for that particular model, as they often have next to no miles. After sitting for that long, you might need new tyres.

There is a RF dedicated forum, but it's a bit shit really.

It has brand new tires front n back n a new chain with about 300 miles on them.... I live up in Minnesota n he said the winter of 07 he didn't put fuel stabilizer in it... I'm thinking. It just needs someone new gas n maybe a couple other things... already got new battery. .. no cracks on bike basically looks brand new
