Has he got the original airbox? - coz the K&N filters are cr4p. They make the motor really peaky. I had them on my original one together with Microns and it was horrible as a road bike. I paid £3400 in May for an X Candy Blue and it was totally original apart from Gibsons and a rentec radguard, but he threw in a nice set of 4LO exhausts and the original radguard. It was also taxed until Marc 2012 and MOT'd until Sept 2011. So ,on my experience, £3K sounds a bit on the pricey side to me from the description you've given. I would agree with Nikfubar and go £2.5K as an initial offer.

reciepts as Proof of a Quality ...recent.. rebuild of the motor from a known competent shop.
Otherwise you WILL be rebuilding the motor... everybody usually does, within days or weeks of purchase.

Best to go in low ona first offer . take a few pics and post them up if he will let you take a few . Its around the correct price for a good one. They are so hard to price as some go for over 6 grand and some under 2 its all down to whats been done to it and how nice it is .
