Not excusing the time wasters at all, but in terms of constructive advice, looking at the ad I would:
- make headlight stock
- thoroughly clean - get that black popping, maybe buy a specific matt black product (you can bring back the exhaust with one of the really strong harpic bleaches I think I'll see if I can find a link)
- nice photos in a nice location - sell the image / lifestyle
- proof and correct typos / formatting
Also a proper classified might be better. But yeah I'm surprised by the number of dickheads and lack of interest. At £3k and that bike, this time of year you'd have thought loads of people would be looking at it for their first big bike. I was at the time.
Maybe the market is also being depressed by the lack of mod2?
- make headlight stock

I will give it a good wash at the weekend and follow your advice - hopefully it will make it easier to sell.
That Harpic trick is magic!!!

There must be a bit of no Mod 2 involved but generally people won't have been riding much and I think a lot of people are still worried about what's going to happen next.

I was part of a XSR forum but it is mostly US based.
Last time I listed a bike on Facebook MarketPlace, I kept getting messages like "£50, cash in hand, today, will not ask for keys or V5"
It was by far the worst platform of them all but hey, I need to sell it while it is summer so will just deal with it
