If you were selling this 6 months ago Martin
I would've snapped it up straight away.  ;)
Good luck with the sale and welcome to the forum.

Look be not afraid of telling me to bite my ass.
Lovely bike and Im sure it's great race bike. Id be a happy chap if someone pays you 11k for this bike.
IMO your bike is not 100% mint pool room condition and may not make the 11k your after. Similar bikes too yours can now be purchased from the states at around 5k and with around $800 to $1000 import costs you may struggle to find the correct buyer.
Good luck with your sale as it gives us all hope that there is a few well cashed buyers in the market.
