Hoping to try and find something closer to £3k that needs a bit of fettling I can do over winter......prices are a bit steep still though

Just ring the Plod non-emergency number & ask them how it's recorded with them.

Mine is recorded as stolen/recovered after scum took it from work a few year ago, I've never bothered to HPI it to see how it's recorded though. I did phone plod to ask if they had it as recovered before I took it out on the road again after recovery, just in case.

Thinking of selling my 2001 K2 in Blue & White, 28K miles, absolutely mint condition and almost standard (other than clear indicator lenses, LED rear light, Pyramid Hugger, Stainless radiator guard & a small screen all of which are functional & can be either removed or replaced with the original items) 

I have owned the bike since Aug/Sept 2018, it has been kept in a dry garage and used as and when I had a bit of time, it has been maintained by me (former mechanic) to a very high standard with regular oil changes etc, last winter it had a rear end overhaul in swing-arm bearings checked & greased, new SKF rear wheel bearings, new SKF sprocket carrier bearings, new HD chain & JT Sprockets, front & rear wheels resprayed the correct white & a pair of Pirelli Angel tyres purchased & fitted. The winter before it had a similar overhaul to the front end & recently I have fitted a set of genuine Suzuki stainless down-pipes as the original chrome ones had started to deteriorate but they are still in my garage and can go with the bike if required 

I have pampered this bike, and have spent a fair bit but more so spent a lot of time to keep her looking and running/riding at 100%. Each time I'm out on it, it draws attention wherever I am parked up with numerous comments from fellow bikers and the general public regarding its condition, it surprises me that some even think it is a brand new bike - it really is that clean 

So the downside, it took me a long time to find a standard genuine K2 that hadn't been hacked or messed about with, as soon as I viewed this bike I knew she was the one! After purchasing I found out that she had previously around 2006 been a CAT D deemed not economical to repair - I was slightly annoyed that the seller had not informed me, I tried to find out more details but failed so took the bike to a local motorbike engineer to be inspected just for peace of mind and he gave it a clean bill of health and found no faults including checking the frame etc for defects, she has never failed an MOT and has only ever had one advisory in 2006 showing a cracked mudguard (must have been replaced before I purchased) so assume that had something to do with the classification

Apart from the CAT D this would be a £5K bike in the current market, I am looking to sell for £3.5K which is what I have been offered last month against a 2017 Z1000SX, The dealer was keen to get the 14 for himself but I found another bike that I preferred and purchased

If you are interested I can answer any questions and send additional pictures, not sure I want to sell and know that I will regret it but could do with the space & getting earache from the Mrs!! I have been on here for a long time and wouldn't offer the bike if I thought it had any problems 

Cheers, Pete
