I`m expecting it to be similar to a GN250, but pleased it is older than a gn, i will be able to remove the indicators with no mot problems,  i am tempted to change the style somewhat, but knowing me and my good intentions it will just get ridden as it is !

I had one years ago that I turned into a café racer. They go well with a little tuning and handle well although I found the stock front brake rather poor.
