I thought the 2004 models were all black frames?

Nope - 2003 models worldwide had black frames

BUT

It could have been manufactured several years earlier, stored and then first registered at a later date.
The last year that any were produced was 2004 but mine's on an '05 plate and there are others registered much later than that.

rear seat hump (needed for full throttle fun)
Oh damn ... should I have only been running the thing at 1/2 throttle with the rear seat on?

Surely cheaper to crash the thing .... but maybe better to check for typos

I think it looks quite good

I will be amazed if that sells. It is a 2000 model but may have been sold later. I would have sold my 2002 with only 9700 miles and more upgrades for less than that, but it never even met the reserve, which was short of £2300. Most ebayers are looking for bargains. I will sell mine myself, if I can.

Thought I'd just see what happened to this one:
