Hi
I wouldn’t say its a “Great Deal”, it sounds about the right price but I would shop around if you have 2K on your hip.
There are plenty of gixxers about for the same kind of money that have lots of sexy extras (cans, huggers, braided hoses, R&G’s etc)
It’s wise to enlist the help of someone who knows gixxers to have a look at the bike, there are a few ex race bikes about with nice new looking plastics on but underneath they have had a hard life. Look out for things like drilled sump plugs and brake caliper bolts.
Avoid bikes with carbon fibre frame covers as they might be hiding a damaged frame.
For that kind of money I’d expect a full service history and all the MOT certificates.
Just from the photo it looks clean and straight and almost as standard.
I’d avoid it if its had more than 2 previous owners too.
Good luck with your hunt
