I dont know the bike but it looks like a bargain to me. Price is now under £3000. When l was looking last year, 1150s were silly money so I went that bit extra for the 1200

Bike History
It was a Cat D insurance write off (cosmetic uneconomical repair) in 2007 and was in storage pending insurance outcome until May 2010

when I bought it and repaired/restored it in its current form.

I chose the SE colour option of white/blue. The seat has been re upholstered but i still have the original black cover if you with to revert it back.
I have covered 8500miles since buying this bike and love it to bits.
There was no history with the bike so all service items have been changed, gearbox/diff oil/ air filter, plugs, oil filter, battery.

The not so good bits..........
Rear brake pads are low and need changing (quick job and about £15) just not got round to it
both throttle bodies are rattling, you can buy a kit for £40 a side that replaces the shaft, bearing and seals - doesnt affect the riding but makes a tapping sound.
The usual corrosion areas on front forks and bottom yoke.
the alloy rim has a couple of scrapes on, purely cosmetic.
Tax runs out 30/4/13 so it will be SORN from then... unless the weather picks up and ill be off out on it!
It is due an oil and filter change in the next 500miles or so.

This bike will not win any concours competitions and is showing its age, it looks good but if you start looking you will find the usual alloy bubbling/corrosion. I may be doing it a disservice but its not worth fibbing and wasting peoples time.

if you want a cheap bike thats spot on reliable this could be for you, if youre after a supermodel you may be disappointed!

Sensibly priced so no daft offers at £3250

the bike is in Preston Lancashire, viewing is welcomed just PM or call me o779246o897

Price is now below £3000

It's a Cat D, so not much of a resale value. Most traders wouldn't touch one.

Not having any service history doesn't help too, especially when it's done over 50,000 miles, plus it needs servicing and the condition is not too clever....

Just sayin

Not arguing with any of that. But an 1150 with better history would double this value so this one is still a good price. The finish issues would probably be much the same either way. I'll leave Neil to explain how that's done.
