(sorry for the silly long link!  Item # 290520314080)

Complete with all the original heavy stuff, self-destructing tacho, and other things that flake and rust!

Good bike tho,

Hope all are well!  Not been posting much, but I continue to lurk    ;D    Old nails still functioning with shocking reliability   :D

But not worth that money...anyone want a cbx750 with donor bike? Low milage - never seen it but mate parting with it.

And those rims, quite a nice retro bike.

I can see the appeal but I still like the Skorpion - despite it being over priced.

you know, along the same lines, I wouldn't mind either the "BSA" (southampton) build Gold SR or a Harris MAtchless with the Rotax engine.

A bit daft and obscure, but isn't that what singles are about?!

Or, to go full circle, if you want a Rotax engined single go for the lovely MZ Silver Star Classic.

A friend of mine phoned up about the Suzuki and the vendor said it was sold and that he could have sold it 10 times over. My friend has been looking for one of these for about 18 months now for him as he used to have the 400 Savage (same engine so Im told). The bloke was very helpul and said he will probably be able to get my mate another Tempter for March.

I have always liked these, never understood why they weren't a big hit.

This same bloke is importing all sorts of grey imports from Japan . I just had a quick look at his website and there are photos od GB500s and SR500s as well as those on ebay. Prices are probably expensive but I think he registers and MOTs all of them and he encourages test rides
