Honda Varadero XL125 2006 - Needs repair

This is a blue 2006 Honda Varadero XL125. I had a fantastic time riding it for 3 years.  It could quite happily reach 70mph and it's so big I felt quite safe at those speeds on busy dual carriageways. It's very suitable for taller riders. I rode someone else's Varadero once and compared to it this one was a much better performer.  However. I no longer have any need for it.  I left it in a publicly accessible car park in London for 2 years in the hope someone would steal it. but surprisingly that hasn't happened yet so far so I guess I'll have to sell it. Last serviced in July 2011. MOT expired July 2012 and it has not been used since April 2012.  I am unable to give an exact mileage because the counter is electronic but it should be around 9000. certainly no more than 10000 as it was used very little after it's last service at 8218 miles. All the paperwork is in order - Key. Spare Key. V5 Form. Owners Manual. Full Service History. The battery is flat so it cannot be started. Due to the lengthy time out of use I do not know what other work it would require to get going other than charging the battery. Other known problems are listed below. The bike is located in South London. Viewings are welcome. please contact me to arrange. Service History:Last serviced at 8000 miles in 2011 when the following was done:Tyres were replaced and are virtually unwornFork seals replacedOil and filter changeAt the previous service in 2010 at 5000 milesFront brake pads replacedRear brake pads and disc replacedClutch plates replacedAt the time of purchase in 2009 at 4000 miles it got a new batteryKnown faults:Engine has not been run for 2 yearsBattery is flatBolts on the battery compartment are so tight that trying to open them just stripped the heads. hence unable to charge batteryThe switch which activates the brake light when rear brake is applied is stuck in the 'on' position - very cheap to fix though. Front brake light switch was replaced in 2010. Severe rusting of the front suspension forksSome scratches on plastic bodywork
