I pass that bike shop on a regular basis, the bike has been for sale for many years now, it's a nice machine but obviously over priced.
You can buy a standard bike for 2500 to 3500. Tyga Fairings and paint £1000, Good overhaul of engine & suspension £2000. So yes I agree its overpriced. Then I see people asking £5000 for an X7 and crazy money for LC350's - I would prefer that RGV to any of them... So if that bike is as good as it looks in the pics, its possibly not as overpriced as it seems at first glance. I'm glad I don't drive by the showroom every week, I would be 7K worse off!
Really hard to say, there's a ropey one at Cotswold classic car hub for £9500 & another on evilby for £13500 but has evidence of being a track bike in the past & 20k miles. Spoke with a Ducati specialist & ask how much to make a ropey one mechanically sound answer was to budget for £2-3k.
