Possible purchase.

Right lads,
I am still looking for an xt 660 z and today I went to view the only one that has come up for sale since joining the forum. It's a 2009 northern gold coloured xt660z. The bike itself is in ok condition. It needs a few things like rear break pads, a service oil and filters, new tyres and a new front mud guard. The grey tank protects are marked also but I would put them down as a must replace as I'll be using the bike off road and more ten lightly if I did fit new ones would end up scratching them again.

Anyway. The bike has 19,000kms (11,800 miles)on it and has done two trips to Africa and a trip to Spain. It has been used for purpose and has up grades to suit .
Fat bars,
Roks raiser
Bash plate (adventure spec)
Pivot pegs,
Touratek seat plus original,
Spot lights,
Touratek head light guard,
Tall screen and low screen,
Panniers,
Rota packs x 2
Touratek bottles x 2 (oil and coolant)

The bike is showing signs of rust on the spocks and the Frame at the front. Nothing mad though. It also had the air box drilled for some reason. Owner daily a the previous owner did it when going to Africa. It has the lambda sensor removed also. Why?????

My question is how much should I be looking at paying for this bike.
All I have to compare it to in the UK is bikes with less mileage and no extras?

I like the bike but I normally buy a perfect bike with this one I'll have to spend to get it right. Granted not loads about €350 and it should be 100% out side of what I can live with.

Just don't want to pay over the odds.



Eric.
