Not brilliant photos, and given that photos make things look better generally, I would say it's a little rough which is OK if the price is right. Started cheap but with a reserve and a £1950 BIN so I think they have high expectations. Looks more like a sub £1000 bike to me (if bought unseen).

Got to agree £1950 is a stretch. Though it has all the right bits and a bit of elbow grease should bring the cases up.
It will come with 12 months tickets , so the brakes shouldn't be stuck on. But will it start easily?
£1000 is probably about right.

probably about 1900 quid more than its worth.............

On the other side of this of course I bought mine for £1700 why back in '96 . Did over 120000 Kms on it , the last 20.000 was troublesome as the brakes were worn out, the carbs were worn out and replaced with newer stuff......sold it , 16 years later for ....£1000 ...only got that because it was known to be reliable.

i think i paid around a grand for mine. carbs were shockingly bad, broken bits and bathroom silicone sealant, tank sealant had failed and broken up, other few bits and bobs. sorted the carbs by canibalising a spare set i got, all new seals too, serviced, got it running spot on, new battery and a few other things, and then sold it for 700 quid even though it was bang on, just to get rid of the bloody thing... never ever again....
