As I always say- "If only I had room in the shed!"
One strategy that appeals to me is to buy a recent black one and swap the plastic over. Then I get the best of both worlds and the buyer of mine gets a recent looking bike. :beer

I'm only interested in the cruise control, and (if I buy) will turn the bike around ASAP, anyone interested in a 2004 Silver ST1300 ABS in excellent condition, done 35K km for less than I pay.

Some ST's might be a case OF "BUYER BEWARE" As I have learned at 199,999 the kilometres REVERT back to ZERO ......
Good point, very good point, but ............ I reckon most potential buyers would be able to pick the difference between a bike that's done 30,000km or 230,000km.

I dunno. If it was really well detailed it might be tricky. What would you look for?

If it's was JD's ST1300, yes it would be tricky.
I reckon there would be some pitting, stone chips etc. on the lower forks, some similar tell-signs under the frame above the rear wheel, and on the swing-arm, general scuff marks on the panels, particularly on the polished surfaces but also on the matt plastics, and on the wheel rims.
I just don't see how you could get to 230,000km without some of the above, and try to hide the evidence, even with a good detail.
