I paid £1500 for my 2002 with 8300 miles on the clock 18 months ago.
The UK is a lot cheaper than Portugal for used bikes (though that is a good price, it's probably worth £2200 by the book), but importing into Portugal is a pain in the rrssss, and unless you are resident in Portugal it's impossible.
The bike can look good too, but the weather here, and the salt they put on the roads in winter, is hard on bikes. The frame underneath the seat and the swingarm around the shock, which you can't see from photos, could be rotten.
Mine was only surface rust that had broken away all the paint, all the welds are solid, but I rubbed it back and repainted it this week to prevent it getting any worse.
My swingarm linkages were also badly in need of a clean and re-grease, because off-road use here, means the bike spends a lot of time riding through water.
