Noticed this and it caught my attention, anyone had one or can tell me anything about them? looks like he wont shift on price so is it worth a grand, are they high insurance running costs etc?

Depends on what it's worth to you really, £1000 isn't over expensive if it's in good nick but you'd usually have a bit of space to haggle.
It's the usual Honda build quality, does everything well but not outstandingly, some called them bland but it would be an ideal larger commuter. Insurance will be reasonable as it will come under a classic policy being 15 years old.

At that price range, value is down to what someone is prepared to pay for it.

I bought my NTV for £600. Spent a few hundred on bits to get it up to an acceptable standard (stainless exhaust, peg rubbers, handlebar grips, the fan was seized, new seat cover etc.) so what is it worth to me? I wouldn't part with it for less than I've spent on it. Could I find someone prepared to pay that? Doubt it.

If it is not a nice example of exactly what you are after, keep looking. If you think it is only worth £700, hold out for one of similar mileage and condition going for £700, but take account of the good bits - a pair of tyres could be all the difference.

I would have had a look to see it in the flesh, when I was in the market.

If that seller doesn't pull a "Actually, mate, I'll get twice as much if I hang onto it until the Spring..." the moment you make an offer, then I'll eat my lid. I suspect his missus is giving him an earful about shifting it, but he'll find any excuse to hang on to it.
