This is a lovely, genuine un-molested UK example from new with a very early VIN & engine numbers being delivered in March '98 & in the now iconic white/red livery & red seats & "GRAFFITI" style graphicsWith only 16,975 miles from new, total of only 4 owners (last 2 Father & Son), 100% factory stock (except screen but I have an original to fit), comes with 3 keys, a stack of paperwork & service invoices, service book, loads of old MOT's dating back to 1st one in 2001, Haynes manual, original tool kit, datatagged (incl. paperwork) everywhere to show originality (including both mirrors!), some nice nostalgic memorabilia, original PDI & accompanying welcome Dealer letter & MOT until May next year(PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BEFORE FINISHING DETAILING & FITTING ORIGINAL SCREEN BUT IF YOU WATCH VIDEO YOU CAN SEE)The condition as you can see is superb throughout with only the tiniest of a couple of age related paint chips/marks which don't even show up in the photos & I have had the fairings off to clean inside & and make sure all good which it is, all original fixings & fasteners, no broken lugs etc. etc.. The last owner has just serviced the carbs with new needle jet set as apparently the little rubber gaskets had gone hard due to lack of use & also replaced the spark plugs whilst at it. Consequently she starts on the button from cold, idles & ticks over beautifully & having ridden her yesterday is an absolute dream. Tyres are good, still quite soft but old (2008) & I have deliberately not replaced as most of these in this condition end up in a collection and/or tyres are a very personal preference.NOW PRICING - ALL OVER THE PLACE AT THE MOMENT & IMHO THESE 1st EDITION WHITE/RED EXAMPLES ARE CHEAP RIGHT NOW!THEY RANGE FROM VERY POOR, HIGH MILEAGE WITH CHINESE FAIRINGS AT £3,500 TO SUPER LOW MILEAGE CONCOURS STANDARD AT £11,000 SO I'VE PITCHED IN THE MIDDLE I THINK FAIRLY AT £7,495 & PERSONALLY THINK THESE ARE UNDER VALUED AT THE MO, SO WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, FACTORY STANDARD, RIGHT DOWN TO THE UNCUT REAR MUDGUARD & REFLECTOR, LOW OWNERS, UK EXAMPLE I RECKON A GOOD BUY & AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RIDES SPOT ON
