I'd say there's nothing wrong with it. Checking the Czech market, they go between £4,500 and £5,500 here.

Go and have a look at it. Being 2013 model, this might push the price down a bit. Look at other MT-09 motorcycles on fleabay, all go for quite the same money.

Probably breaks C&U with the wheel being furthest part of the bike but aside from that, just the bouncy suspension, so budget for that and a remap.

In all honesty, looks like a stonking deal if its legit, I notice its from Gravesend though, nothing good comes from Gravesend but Pete.

[Rogerborg]

It's (actually) priced to sell, is all.

Taxed, MOT'd, insured, AutoTrader doesn't show it as written off. Seller might be operating as a dodgy trader, but you're buying the bike, not a life long relationship.

Quick before Paddy has it.

Here's a ZX10R he tried to sell about 5 weeks ago too. As above, only ridden it 13 times, need the space etc.

Something smells a bit dodgy, but if the bike is legit and not cloned. (worth a check of chassis and engine numbers).

Wisebuyers says £4,360 for a private sale so it's potentially over priced. The strange issue appears to be the reason for sale, after only a couple of weeks - "can't fault it but I need the space for another bike"

I think this one's nicer and a 14plate 7500miles.
I really must tail tidy mine this year.

Bear in mind that Yamaha have sold close to 3000 MT-09s (and another 2400 Tracers) so there will be a fair few hitting the used market. It's not like sellers have the whip hand any more, or at least not for long.

Ha ha! "One careful owner"

Maybe he rides them until he's starved the main bearings of oil, then chops them in before the crank goes bang?

So he has multiple bikes and doesn't ride them very often, sounds like half this forum

I'd see it as legit seller who is running his non legit business saving the pennies from the Man.

I'd buy it.

That means nothing, BUT... I'd buy if I cared about anything remotely serious.

FWIW here's the bike in action from his FB feed: https://www.facebook.com/ross.wenden/videos/10154421090842547/
... followed by a mate's comment "Why two MT09's? They that good haha?"

It being the old model of MT-09 will also be another reason its cheap.

I imagine he got a deal on it when purchasing. Probably involving the parting with of his dead ard staffie.
