Less than £1500.... what a bargain!!

yeah wasn't my cuppa didn't want millage that high so opinions on the r1 hes keen to sell so trying to knock him down , does it all sound standard i.e price for mileage he insists its near mint

Looks tidy..... I'd expect you can chip that down at this time of year.

Personally, I'd pay the man his bally £2,200 and be done with it...... but then, I am a gentleman.

wasn't  sure if it was a good price seems the chesapest for condition millage etc and its up the road, I would normally but the missus car insureance got canceled so had to fork out a small fortune to fix that, and well this will be cutting it fine

I've got a 2002 R1, blue with black frame and letter box tail light, bought it two years ago. Commute all year round on it and a great bit of kit.

Didnt get it in the end he said someone offered him full price and asked if I wanted to match it.....
