It looks GREAT, but it should after only 28,000 MILES.
I see its been rebuilt !!!
I wonder why with such little mileage.
My 2c worth

The reason for the (cosmetic) rebuild is in the item description, the mechanicals haven't been touched.
It's a tad overpriced, but if you buy it as a keeper it's still a lot of well sorted bike for the money. I paid £2K for my 1993 11RS last summer with 28,000 on the clock, in beautiful condition but complete with the standard scabby fasteners. Factor in £150 plus a lot of time (brake bolts particularly) to change these over to SS. before you start doing the paint and suspension etc.
He may be open to negotiation as it's coming to the end of the season now, so you could try holding out hoping it doesn't sell, and then having a chat. But if you are seriously interested go see it in the flesh if possible, and if it ticks all your boxes, buy it.

Good decision. Always better to have the full performance model in high speed red!

Red just looks faster, it's really not.

Sweet! Awesome example of the breed, seems to be well sorted.
That is the faster red.... (but not the best  )
