Edit by Admin: Link now added to above thread
It looks mint condition to me :onya:
I'd still try and view it before throwing too many ££'s at it though. Photo's just might have been taken years ago...Buyer Beware!
Cheers Gsxrbarmy for the link

Whats youre opinion on price in this condition,cheers
4 previous owners and such a low mileage, you pommes must be hen pecked :stir:
I'm not too good at pricing to be honest.
I paid £5100 for my K7 6 years ago from a dealer with 5000 miles on the clocks. They do seem to be holding their prices well at the moment.
If I was buying it I'd probably go to £4500 tops.
If I was looking for a k2 and came across one as good as this looks(obviously I'd view it first),I'd be happy to pay 5 thou for it.it all boils down to what you are prepared to pay at the end of the day,,,,if you really want it,.?
I'd say it's worth a bit more than they ate asking but beware of a bike with a few owners and such a low mileage as that can be worse than high mileage if it's been left sitting for long periods of time .
Check service history and ask for as much paperwork as you can see receipt ECT.
My r/b k5 was low mileage and is I great bike (Not so low mileage anymore) but the tyres were very old and even tho loads if tread were dangerous in the wet .
the fuel filter was full of crap due to its sitting but generally in good condition .
It would need a full service and fluids changing along with checking if the age of the tyres.
Then make your offer for the bike .
:cheers:
My K5 was 11 years old with just 2K on it when I bought it with FSH - as Steve pointed out tyres were like rock with no grip , apart from that no problems. Guess I would pay between £4500 and £5000 for that K2 :)..must check and see if I can get 2 in my garage without Mrs Notty noticing !! :rofl2:
5k tops is what I thought it was worth,it does look in very nice condition and had a look at the mot history and some yrs it hardly moved in 12 months what a waste
I'm still trying to get my head around valuation between Oz and UK. Yesterday lovely FJR 2004 with 8 thousand miles for 5495 GBP, then I look back and payed that in Oz for a 2007 GSX1400 in 2009 with 2500 miles.
My 14 in Oz has about 55,000 miles on it, well maintained and never race or rallied. What would it be worth in Straya.

Mine's insured for $6K (they reduced it this year - I must argue that) but owes me more of course.
I bought it for IIRC $8,5K with akro, pcIII, givi topbox etc etc and about 67K kms on the clock which was a fair price then, for what it was.
Hi Gixerkid
Just to add to your dilemma :whistling:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/suzuki-gsx-1400/264064935082?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
When i was looking for a 14 a K2 was my preferred choice too, however i got persuaded with a K3 in the end.
Still always room for one more! :rolleyes:
Good luck :onya:

Hi Milts,
Nice bike that but looking for a standard bike with standard exhaust etc..I did make the guy who owns the k2 an offer and he said he would get back to me following day if he was going to accept but never did so could end up being his loss as my offer was decent

Do service books matter with bikes? Every bike I've bought has had none, as owners generally do those minor tasks themselves. All I'd be interested in is the more important services such as valve clearance checks, although from what i've read on these forums, they rarely need adjusting on these bikes.
The main thing with these bikes is regular oil and filter changes
Air filter
Plugs every couple of years
Other than that
Chain and sprockets every 20,000 or so
Brake pads as required
I don't have an upto date stamped service book only the first 3 were done by the local dealer due to the warranty for each bike but the last 12 years I've done everything myself
So for you it might come down to questioning the owner about the bike and go on how you feel also look at the bike (does it look looked after is the chain lubbed things like that )
If it's running properly it'll be ok .
Saying that I'd give it a full service once it was home and start my regular service schedule from then .
If your really stuck in not that far from you and would be happy to help you out .
P.s. ask
@Hooli about valve clearances checks has over 115000 miles and everything still in spec.
Good luck :cheers:

No....did not bid.....
Guy came back to me in the last hour and said there was no history with it whatsoever only had the v5...his answers to questions contradited previous answers and as it was a 5 hour drive one way from mine I did not take the chance....might be my loss but Im sure another will come up
Well Gixerkid did you bid/win it ? :popcorn:
A Good Move. There will be the right one come along. No history, changing story, just no good.
Wise decision - another will come along - be patient :)
Definately a good decision in my eyes too 👍
Well dodged there'll be a nice one along anytime soon .
:cheers:
