Unfortunately I need to sell this bike do to relocation issues and losing my storage space. I originally purchased the bike with the intention of converting it to cafe racer.  The bike had an MOT on November of 2019.  The inspector also commented on the great condition of the bike when collected it.  The only advisory was ding in the handlebars. cannot find it.I firmly believe the bike has no more than 5300 miles on it, but has had clocks change. still have the original clock showing 5293.  Now showing 39675  The previous MOT dated 26 March 2018 shows 5280( as showing on DVLA site)I purchased the bike 23/08/2018 and cannot believe the mileage went up 33000 mile in that space of time. I have only done about 30 miles on it since purchase. to work on few occasions and to the MOT centre
The bike is in very good mechanical condition and has had the carbs stripped and ultrasonically cleaned with full refurb kit fitted with new inlet manifolds, plugs,  internal fuel filter and external inline filter have been fitted..Paintwork is very bad as the previous owner sprayed it with cans of metallic green pain.  (badly)The bike would benefit from the carbs being balanced and tuned as think it is ruining tad rich ATM.
There are many boxes of spares including, engine bars, suspension, wheels, brakes, lights, new cables, clutch kit, water pump impeller, and lots more.
This would make very very nice bike with minimal work or an ideal doner bike for trike or cafe or bobber conversion.
I would recomend collection in van or on trailer  as there are lot of boxes and have done very minimal miles on the bike.  Engine starts and runs well with no smoke or rattles, at the moment the battery is dead, but starts easily with jump.
Viewing is very welcome with prior arrangement  however will not allow test rides as have had bike written of in the past.
Cash on collection only. I will be out of the country from the 29th till the 2nd. so please bare this in mind with regard to collection and payment.
If you are interested please mail or call me with any questions and will do my best to answer all enquiries promptly.
I am sad to have to let this bike go and hope the winning bidder gets as much enjoyment out of it ass planed too.Ph: 07824 330777
Happy bidding.......
