Ready to go ???? Look at the silencer painted red inside, stick your finger up it, if it comes out clean the bike may never had been fired up.

The guy who is selling it it is sitting right next to me right now !! Isn't that an amazing coincidence
He delivers bikes part time and has just delivered my new one
He says he is very sorry, he knows it should be blue in the tail pipe !!
Oh, and it runs as sweet as apparently. He also says it is rivet perfect, right down to the pressed steel number plates and petrol taps etcRob Harknett wrote:stick your finger up it, if it comes out clean the bike may never had been fired up.

Re: ebay lightweight
Should have a 100-MPH speedo fitted. Otherwise, and the daft, upside-down tank rubbers, it's one of the better ones I've seen. Not sure why the front brake lever on the wheel is painted a racy black...

Yep, the speedo, my front brake lever is painted black but that's because the brake plate is also blackAl_Bolton wrote:Should have a 100-MPH speedo fitted.
