RSV1000 Factory Buying Advice

My first forum post and have spent last couple of months digesting all info available on RSV1000 Factory Gen 2 (twin) and looking to buy one. My questions:

avoid this particular bike at all costs

Great feedback, thanks everyone and for the one to avoid on ebay as was following that one! Will update you when i find the one. 

On the dog bone thing; I serviced mine a few weeks back and noticed the swing arm linkage bearing grease was a bit dirtier than the other 2 sets of needle rollers in the dog bone. I found the dust seals had worn and bought a set from a specialist supplier (a lot cheaper than oem). When they arrived I realised they were Viton and the dog bone seals had been replaced with similar items by the PO. Worth checking the seals as well as the bearings when the time comes. Fowlers parts catalogue quotes the seal dimensions, so it's easy to google for spares.

Certainly looks very clean in the pictures. 

I suspect it’s been a garage queen as even the fastenings are spotless and they often are the first things to show salt damage and any neglect. Only thing I can think of that might need asking about is the tyres. If they are original with only 3k on them, they may not be worn but well past their best age wise. 

If you are passing by really appreciate any feedback. Id be looking to negotiate price down a bit but still a lot of bike for the money and would be a keeper so prepared to pay a bit over the odds. Love the daytona, not ridden one yet but on the list in the future, maybe if the 765 price drops a bit. 

Thanks for offer and sorry for delay in responding, im not getting email notifications of new posts. I have to travel on work not too far from the dealer next week so im going to pop in then. Subject to agreeing finances, may put down a returnable deposit this week subject to inspection. Dealer said its mint so fingers crossed. 

Not a problem mate I'm doing loads of overtime atm anyway as we are so short staffed due to the VID. They are a decent dealer, bit slack on aftercare with my father-in-laws 765 but they did come good after I had a moan. Hope its as good as it looks.

Agreed bit heavy on the price and working on that with dealer!! Having said that when will the next pristine, original 3k miles rsv factory in black and gold turn up? Having always lost money on bikes I dont see why this one will he any different and will be a 2nd bike keeper, sub 1500 miles a year so hoping in 10 years time maybe i might break even but if not, 10 years of popping out to the shed with a cup of tea to drool over it will be money well spent! Still trying to convince my doris this is italian art and should really be given pride of place in the front room. My main bike is a ducati supersport which is a superb touring machine (with bar risers and comfort seat) in terms of balance between sports and touring with the character of a twin but the looks are a bit compromised and i want a weekend bike for a 50 mile blast with no rider aids and some more horse power.

Certainly looks nice.....reckon the scuff on the lower right belly pan would give you some leverage to knock a few quid off, or have the dealer sort it.
