Seems like an ok deal to me. I presume you will be test driving it first. If so and the box seems fine (and everything else!!!), then go by your gut feeling - For that price, I'd probably go for it - But being only a 12valve, performance and fuel economy probably won't be that great. £450 is a bargain if she's a good runner though!

If you buy it just make sure there is more tread on the tyres than on that bike in that pic you posted, That is before you advertise it for sale again, ;D.

Thanks gentlemen!

I'm going to pass as my lovely partner pointed out, my 2.0 is full spec and I hated the Exec we used to have.
If I was 25 again maybe the 2900cc's would have changed my oppinion but I like my dipping wing mirror, cruse control, CD player, heated se.........................................

(Richard, I'll try to find a picture of a full wet tyre for you, lots of lovely tread there)
