    Out of interest Max, how much would you say that bike is worth?
    Here's one for cheaper in absolutely mint condition with 12000 miles on the clock.
    I was looking at it just now and had a good look at it. Every nut and bolt everywhere still like new.
    Hasn't been painted, hasn't needed engine work and hasn't a broken/cut front mudguard :)

    Now this is a nice bike

    Edit: forgot to mention it's 2002.

    ....and another one: raving he is...:

    Would it have killed him to take it outside and at least run the hose over it, and make some (little) effort.

    Just smacks of laziness.

    Even fully restored that bike isn't worth the asking price. The fact its got a non-vintage registration would put me off it.

    There's a lad I know near me and he has one sitting outside his house with years.
    It's rusting away and the colours are fading away badly and the decals are turning to white.

    Must be only worth 12k at this stage :pac:

    Going for the authentic vintage look, like the GS850 I'd say.

    Seriously though it's a shame to see it.
    And this lad is into his bikes and has a huge garage.
    He has other bikes but I never see them left out and I pass every day.
    The SP looks like it hasn't been rode in a long time.
    Don't know why he leaves it out like that.

    Nah,this lad wouldn't scare easy.
    Spends more time doing Motocross these days though.

    As James Hunt once said "the closer to death you are,the more alive you feel" :D
