And we all know what he should have got rid of all those years ago

Still a good buy for someone somewhere

If you think that is sad what about this..

I was offered a '98 M900 last week with 441 miles from new.
Was taxed for the first two years and never had it's first MOT.
Geezer kept it all this while and then he was trailering it off to be sold when it fell off the trailer
As far as I know it is not an insurance catagory. But there is a fair bit of superficial damage to the right hand side including the tank.

If I had 1500 quid to spare I would have saved it from the breaker..

I saw it too, seems to have lost it's rear hugger over time but looks nice, it's actually not that far from me...
Good job I spent the cash I had at home or I'd have been tempted!

3K? even with such a low mileage is a bit steep considering the cost of recommission..

My thoughts exactly, but maybe there is method to the madness. Hence it won't sell?

I think this will go above the 3K. The plate will attract some and I can't see it costing much to get going. It is sad though. She must be pretty special.

If it wants to be ridden as opposed to shown in a collection by the next owner, you may have to strip and reseal the engine as all the seals will have dried out. Then there's the tyres, fluids, brake hoses, air filter, oil and filter, cam belts etc. It will be a minimum of £500 to put it right properly for the road.

A cracking looking bike in the main. I notice the brake and clutch fluid lids are missing paint as usual and the bolts on the handlebars are all corroded as well though.

I like your conservative quote of 500 quid. If you were to change just the engine bearings that's what it would cost you. Then you'd have seals and gaskets, bearings all around, tires, servicing items...the bill could easily go up a couple of thousands..
