Hi everyone
Apologies my first post is an advert, I've learnt a lot from here and the 2 UK forums...
The time has come to sell my XS; I just don't use it partly due to having a young family. I rode it to it's MOT in July '17 and then didn't use it at all. It's only come out of the garage this year to move things around... I'm raising funds to buy a pickup truck so this and my Volvo estate are going
Attached are a couple of recent pics from early 2017, showing it's current state except I have since replaced the green electrics box with a more accessible black under seat one.
Below is a spec sheet of everything I've done to the bike since buying it around 7 years ago

It could do with some tidying cosmetically, I had always planned to strip it down and paint it but a young family and too many other projects has meant that hasn't happened...
I have a number of spares (including R6 forks, rear sets, service items, OE alloy rims etc etc) I'll be offering the buyer first then listing separately.
Please PM me for contact details or more info
Price wise I would like £3500
