Some people seem to think because they've done lot's to bike they should get their money back and more. It's just not the case. As it stands, I wouldn't rush to buy it at £500. If you want a specific bike you gotta be prepared to travel.
Would need to be supplied with a massive amount of authentic provenance for an off the road 2K. If he can prove it's been absolutely totally rebuilt with an engine rebuild including a bill from a renowned specialist then that may up it a little but if stored badly since then it means nothing.
If you want a laugh tell him to join the forum as it's free and he could sell it here. Then I'm sure he'll get the reality check he really needs.
Ah thanks mate, wasn't sure if this was the right place haha, Think what I'm going to do is leave the bike a week or so, I'm sure he'll still have it, then give him a call and he might come to his senses
£500 for Ducbirds....I'll be down in a couple of hours to take it off your hands...get the kettle on.
There is one in Practical Performance Bikes classifieds this month for £1050 with 12 months mot in clean condition (1998 model) so why wait
