last night i collected this bike from islington 6.30pm is no a good time to collect a bike from centralish london traffic was hell !
the bike had a flat battery so i couldnt hear it run due to alarm imobiliser but at this price i didnt really care if it didnt run!
it needs a petrol tank as kids pushed the bike over denting the tank the rear tyre is bald
it has 15000 miles 2 owners from new and alot of history new stainless down pipes remus end can otherwise its standard
i got home last night at 11pm and dropped bike at my unit and put battery on charge there and then, this morning it started straght up and runs perfectly i rode it round the yard its faultless
now i have to decide weather to put a new tank on new rear tyre mot and sell or break it for parts?? what will it be worth with tank and mot??
anyway heres the pics phone pics sorry

Well just think, it can't get any worse for here on out. I'm sorry about your current state dude. Hope you get a better bike soon.

Good Luck.

With new tank and new rear tyre, it should be worth about £1500 (if every thing else is spot on).

Has it had the 15,000 mile service?

What is the collector box like?

For me it would depend on what the service history etc is like, I've always gone by that when breaking cars, they're worth more in bits when the history is a bit shady`

True, but the first two have small dents that look like they could come out without any hassle and the last one is just a bit chipped. Mint ones will cost you about half whay you paid for the bike? Wink

What do you think it is worth?

I paid £1600 for my K3 three years ago Thumbs Up

Used bike prices have gone up.

It may actually be worth a little more Thumbs Up
