Don't be a twat.
FWIW, Kerry is a genuine good bloke. KTL bikes sponsors two riders from this forum to race in the BEARS class, and I have had the pleasure of getting on the piss with him after a round of racing at Manfield. To my knowledge he will only sell bikes on the shop floor which are of the highest standard - if they arrive with a scratch or any other superficial damage that wasn't there when he spec'd the bike in Japan then he will knock off a decent amount and give someone a deal.
Of course I don't know the story behind this particular bike, but he's an honest kiwi business man who runs a good business. If you want someone to independently check out the bike then ask.
Ask yourself, would you got to the effort of finding the prices to repair all those parts on the idea that ONE person MIGHT buy the bike if that repair bill is good for them? He did a good job of describing the damage and gave a pretty good estimate... is that not what you asked for?
