For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Good grief! It's not even one of the later ones - must have been sitting in a dealers somewhere for nearly 10 years!

Well, that certainly trumps my '08 registered Falco by a good two years. But at least mine had only been sitting in a crate for about 4 years. That one must have been crated/dormant for at least eight/nine years.

Andy will be rushing down to Southend on Sea to secure that one, knowing how much he loves the yellow Falcos... :smt003

The price is more than a tad optimistic, though. It's £500 more than I paid for mine new, and only £2500 less than a 2010 VFR1200 they have in stock (which is nice to see).

Same as I paid for mine brand new ..... and you've got to factor-in the cost of a re-spray ....

Reckon it's probably a 2002.
Colour match the mid fairing and fit a matching belly pan and hugger and I'm sure Andy could eventually learn to love it.
May need to fit his RST wheels to avoid going over the top on the mellow, plus get some very dark shades. :smt004 :smt004 :smt004 :smt004
