I don't get to use this bike a great deal so sadly it's for
sale. I have seen a few of these traded of late and prices vary considerably.
Generally non or poor runners sell for below £600, but I have seen one which
appeared to have been restored reach nearly £2000!
This 28 year old machine (frame number PD03..) was first registered in this country in March 2002 and was an Italian import. As such it has a speedo calibrated in KM and a beam deflector on the headlight and the supplied V5 shows 3 former keepers. It has an MOT until June 2012 but is currently declared off road (no tax). Speedo shows 46486km (28885).
This is an old bike and as such is not in showroom
condition, but as these machines go, this one is in fair shape as the
photographs will show. The tyres have some life left and the rest of the
bike is quite tidy with a number of parts added by me which include: fork
seals, chain slider, front disk and pads and the speedo gear and cable. Whilst
the chain slider was being fitted, all the swinging arm bearings were
removed and cleaned. A new clutch and springs were also fitted. I do have a few
other bits and bobs which will be sold with the bike (o rings, decomp cables
etc).
The previous owner has had some engine
work done which accounts with the ease in which the bike starts and
runs. There is a knack to it, but it will usually go after the 3rd or 4th
kick. The engine runs without rattle or knock and I have not noted any oil
leaks. Indeed I have not needed to top the oil up since it and the oil and air
filters were replaced.
By reading this it's likely you know what you are looking
for, and as these go, this is an honest example. As can be seen in the pics,
some of the plastic is not brand new, but it is an ok condition considering the
age of the bike. Basically it starts with ease, goes like a train and stops
when you want it to - all of that done without any fuss or drama! It is also
quite cool to ride...
I'm happy for you to visit to view and I will allow test
rides on production of suitable insurance and the purchase price left with me
in cash.
Please contact me should you have questions or if you would
like any more pictures. This bike is for collection only and will be released
only on reciept of cleared funds.
Thanks for the interest.
