Asa case in point I have so far spent £1840 on my CB400, when its completed I might be lucky to get £2000 for it, but then it won't be for sale, its for riding
I am inclined to agree with you. The X7 has not been run for probably 2 years apart from the occasional fire up, so chances are there are a number of parts that will need replacing.

I was happy with his valuation as it was realistic, taking into account that he would also have to arrange collection from Yorkshire, and to safeguard himself, strip it down and check it all over before it went up for sale, and make sure that it had a current MOT. I have looked at a few other X7's since I was up in Yorkshire last week, the average price for a minter is between £1400 and £1800 and the one advertised by the guy you listed is in my opinion either being greedy or hoping that someone will just pay the asking price because they want one so badly they will pay any price.

And you have just had another pleasant surprise TC 2:1 against Everton. Where's that flying pig emoticon when you need it? :smt003

On the first half performance it could easily have been 7 or 8 to Everton as they totally dominated. Good second half turn around though :smt003

Hmmm ..... well this X7 "project" fetched £1221 on Ebay .... surely a little used beauty in great nick should do much better?
