Looks way over priced for a 98 model to me. Even though it's low mileage and 50th anniversary, dont think I would pay more than 2k for it.

Most other 98 models seem to go for less than 1400 quid, though that's with more miles on.

Looks quite expensive I'd say, especially considering it's an old model with the small tank/unfinned R/R etc.

Also the seller doesn't provide any pictures of the yoke or say what number that bike was off the factory line, I'd recommend asking and requesting a picture

Looks very clean and it's nice to see an anniversary edition with all the extras still attached. Low mileage. I would say the price is slightly overpriced two and half would be more realistic. Which would be the equivalent of a later model super fast matte Black one :wink: Are still keeping the SP.

I wouldn't want to pay much more than £2,300 tops.

looks good
and has not been on the road since 2009
check to see if the owner has it from new
it should be accompanied by a paddock jacket and dust cover with the 50th logos on them
fair price between £2000 and £2500 if shes mint
what number of the 50 is it
told you not to but oh no you knew better

Funny the ad says "brand new stock pipes in a box" but the Anniversary model came with Remus pipes as stock as far as I remember? :think:
Or did they come with stock pipes as well?
Nice looking thing though.
