Well guess whats up for sale again.
Nice to see the rise in price though as I have one that's got 17000 on the clock and is super original.

I thought it was a lot... Its not got the original Nexus system, indicators, no carbon on the top yoke but has on the clocks which it shouldnt. Other than that it looks fine...
Im going to have to put mine up for sale in the spring, back problems makes to hard to ride. I do love all the trick bits that came with it and luckily its super original. Its got very little history and has been tucked up in my nice warm shop hidden away for 3 years so it will take a bit of sorting I suppose but its only got 17000 on the clock so it should make someone very happy.
I certainly wouldnt pay a premium for the one on ebay, if you are going to buy an anniversary model and pay a little more for it it would need to be 100% original.

If only! No I just noticed it on flabay and I just happened to still have it in my watched listings.
A bargain for someone out there.
