And under 400 miles on the clock... I couldn't do it, bikes are for enjoying, not decoration.
A pair of M7RR's would be straight on there as 20 year old rubber will be hard as plastic.

Pretty much anything rubber is going to have to be replaced.

It's a very nice bike.....and by the looks of things it'll stay that way.
One to avoid, methinks.

quite a lot of money for a spares or repairs bike
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

I wonder at what point vehicles with an internal combustion engine are only worth scrap value? I understand barely used ones like this will end up on a mantelpiece or in a museum but I doubt many will be worth a great deal.

When the cost of fixing them is higher than the cost of replacing them?? I mean, that's what insurance companies do, yes??

I'm pretty certain insurance companies don't restore an old bike you've just bought
