    It's ok. I like it...and I would ride it. Hey Jabba..did you paint it

    People on ebay do take the piss.

    I suppose some people just fire off loads of emails in the hope of getting a bargain off someone desperate to sell.

    I put my old Bandit 12 on ebay. Was 5 years old, low miles and mint. Pretty much got offered a few beans and a sherbert dip. no sale.

    Sold it on Biketrader for £2500.

    Well, regardless what anyone thinks Parkers states;
    Original Price£5,845Independent Dealer£2,605Private Good £2,270Private Poor £1,740Part Exchange£1,955

    £2200 for a clean, original @T would be reasonable but I'm not going to offend anyone with my personal opinion on the bike shown here. I'd suppose offers of around £1200. Sorry folks, just my opinion as usual.

    Re: Does anyone think this is cheap.

    I sold my totally standard 98 last week for £1550 - which I though was OK with 63500miles on it. Lots of interest on Ebay but Adtrader actually did the business. Got up to 60 people watching Ebay and the usual b*llocks about people asking the reserve price and part-ex with ****e bikes.

    The paint job on this bike will put a lot of people off - you may do better with a "normal" paint scheme. If I was looking to buy then I would be factoring in the cost of a decent respray and adjusting the offer price downwards.

    Good luck selling it!

    I think my 2001 black in good nick with 13,300 miles was advertised at £2,800 in October last year - I think.
    RD07a, reg in 2001, Black, heated grips, short screen, Scottoiler, Givi top box and panniers, DataTag, full Riky Cross crash bars, Baglux tank cover, Facet pump, mostly 200 miles to reserve and presently a lot happier since being loved up at Chad's hospital for sick ATs!
