They're having a turkish!

I paid £600 for mine (tho it did have 36k on the clock) and that was £500 too much.
I'm loving all the buzzwords/phrases in the ad.

True classic?

Marsbar livery? I've never heard that said about any bike other than the Elsie.

Rare gem?

Collector's dream?

A standout piece of 80s superbike heritage?

A rare find?

I think the seller is an estate agent,he knows how to 'talk it up'.

God knows I have been that mug at times
I was almost that mug a few days ago when I came across this ad... If it had been a red and black one I might actually have been.

Reckon that's what happens when you've been wanting a Supermoto and you see a half-finished café racer project going cheap.

Not WTF at all really. Mildly stupid customisation of a Sunbeam S8.

Sellers- hide the multimeter before you take the photo!

You might even consider moving the bike away from the dustbin.

To be fair the GPZ600R was the bike that kicked off the 600cc arms race that resulted in some epic bikes, at one point everyone wanted 600's and before the Fireblade it was a good time to be around bikes.
