£600-£700?? at least twice as much as that if the bike is as described by the threadstarter.The age of the bike doesnt really come into the equation.
Check out some of the prices for sports bikes of the 1980's in Classic & Motorcycle Mechanics magazine classified section.

I would agree, £6-700 is too low. I regularly look at older bikes on ebay and auto trader, as I quite fancy something to use during winter. You can't get a decent large bike for this sort of money. I would expect to pay anything up to £1500 or so for that, providing it's immaculate. What it has against it is that it's not one of the more recognised and sort after classics like the Gixxers, FZR's and GPZ's, so it may go for less.

I agree toatlly, it wasnt much of a desired bike when it was launched and has no racing pedigree...mainly because the frame became rather flexy under hard use, i remember they ended up bracing them in the end, nowt wrong with the motor thou from my recollections
having said that, i would say £600-£700 is far to low, it'll be worth as much as anyone is prepared to pay for it...its gotta be worth at least £1500 thou..If it was mine and was as mint as described, id put it up for 2K ONO
Still not a bad looking bike in the black colour scheme either
I've run two of them over 35,000 miles mostly as work bikes.
16 inch front is fine with Battlax rubber. Hell I ran on Super Venoms for a long while as an advanced instructor - used to piss off the pupils on their rice rockets.
Great comfort, very economical, sound lovely and there's a blue/white G-plate identical to my last one which I keep seeing near me.
Gotta be about a grand.
