nice bike... but the tank looks a bit untidy, what is that tape for?

how long have you owned?

digital or clock speedo?

are you negotiable

The tape is 3M film, it protects against scratches etc. Can be peeled off to no doubt reveal a mint tank underneath. I'm pretty sure they have analogue rev counter and digital speedo.

An awesome real world sportsbike that actually does something under 10krpm, unlike most of todays bikes. Doesn't burn your arse in traffic, the mirrors actually see past your "bingo wings", and there's room for your wet weather gear under the comfy seat. In short: a practical modern classic that still goes like shit off a shovel.

I've got 2 regrets:
1. crashing mine
2. not picking up another 'cos it was a much more "involving" ride than the GSXR1000K7 I picked up instead.

Good luck with the sale, looks like a beauty.

Had turned down 6.5k twice maybe that where the market is for this thing , so maybe ill take it next time. if it makes it goe away b4 next summer.

Unfortunately something is only worth what the market is prepared to pay for it. It does sound too cheap, but it is now a 12yr old bike. I have to chuckle when I see dealers asking $11k for examples of my bike, you can pick up a K5/6 for about that money, shit even less.
