If the bike doesn't sell, I'll return it to as near stock as is practical and sell all the goodies separately, that would be a shame as everything you want and more is already fitted.
2 keys and all the paperwork from new. I have a couple of service kits and the very comprehensive Service Manual which will go with the bike along with all the original parts.
Cash on collection £2350 ovno The bike was on FleaBay, that was the winning bid, but it turned out as a no show! My local Honda dealer reckons it's worth £2000 totally stock and £2600 with all the mods, so I'm looking for a quick hassle free sale.
13 plate with 23800 SMILES on it. When the bike first came out, Honda sent 12 to Dave Thorpe off road centre. He chose 8 and the other 4 went into the dealer network, that’s where I bought it from (Bob Minion Honda Derby) without looking I think I’m the 2nd owner. The bike went back there for its 600 mile service and has never been inside a dealers since.
I’m an Engine fitter for Rolls-Royce building jet engines, I have done all the servicing, modifications and repairs to the bike. I have kept a ‘diary’ of everything that has been done to the bike, I’ve missed about 6 fuel fills but absolutely EVERYTHING else has been documented. It's a bit anal but I think it more valuable than a service book with what would be 3 or 4 stamps in it.
Honda recommend 8000 miles between services, mine has never got anywhere near that! To start I used Castrol, that used to last a few thousand miles and needed changing (the bike tells you when it needs new oil, the gear change goes ‘clunky’) I now use Motul - without looking I get a lot more miles between services now. I’ve only ever used Honda parts from the local dealer.
Mods.....
Stock the bike is errr... lacking

The bad bits...
There’s rust forming around the bosses where the pillion footpegs used to be and on the fork clamps. The clutch cover laquer is starting to come off and bubble. I haven’t done anything about it yet but it’s there, the bike is 6 years old and is out in all weathers.
The steering lock has stopped working
I gave the bike a quick once over at the weekend and a very quick wash. The exhaust is now metallic looking
One of the rear indicators had lost its cover on the pics but I've replace them with stock indicators.
