I bought this to try get back on the road after being the victim of a SMIDSY ( sorry mate, I didn't see you) on my big bike - eight years later I'm afraid the poor thing has been sitting unused.It has developed areas of rust on the chrome work, it had been greased up to try give some protection, but all that remains is on the wheels.
Absolutely nothing is seized on it. Can't believe I'm gonna put this - but it ran perfectly before we laid it up! The previous owner gave me an envelope with its full life story and service history, which has gone awol in the loft with the log book, hence, no log book unless I trawl through 28 years worth of " you never know when it'll come in handy" if ever I do find it all, will send I on.
Obviously it's going to need carbs done and rubber bits looking at, otherwise, apart from the rusty bits, the bodywork is solid, the engine and gearbox were smooth when it was last out.
This will be ideal to restore or use as a base for a caf racer
I won't accept offers of a swap for a bag of jelly beans and a pogo stick, will just let the auction run for whatever it gets.
£100 deposit on sale and rest cash on collection preferred.
Collection only, can help load it

I only took the cover off and hosed 1000000 spiders off, removed 109 snails from the most awkward places you wouldn't believe with chopsticks as a last resort when I finally had enough of it being a shin cracker on the patio, for the photos. If it doesn't sell, I'll apply elbow grease and get it running for a relist if anyone will be interested. It is a genuine previously perfect running neglected bike, I'm ashamed to say
