Its going to cost a lot of money to replace that exhaust though.

I have to admit I looked and thought, Mmm, Edinburgh, nice and local, GB500, nothing outstanding but quite nice if you like that sort of thing (which I do), exhaust, yeah soddit could cobble something together, bit of noise can be nice...

£2,500 for a 27year old middle of the road grey import Honda, ARE YOU ON DRUGS!?!

So probably not for me...  ;)

Not really, in fact probably a bit below the current rate. Absolute minter's have gone for £3500-£4000 recently!! :o :o....a hell of a lot of money for an XBR in an Armani suit!  Even XBR's are creeping up, £1500-£1800 for a really nice one and dealers are asking £2.5K ! ( one was asking £3.5K for an 'original collectors bike' ..not...don't know if it sold)

They do say there's one born every minute! Looking through the same site I saw a dnepr outfit advertised at 3.5k...

Same thing applies - Russian bikes are 'in' now and fetching stupid prices....I wish I still had mine! A new Ural outfit is now just under £10,000!!!!!! FFS!! I remember when you you get one for £3K!! or a few hundred quid used!

 :o :o :o :o :o :o    I just checked F2's site and a SOLO is £9 grand!!!
