One for discussion

Nice but a tad pricey!

Lovely bike, probably the best you're going to find. The asking price is high  ( £4695) but where are you going to get another with under 1000 miles on the clock? It'll be interesting to see if it sells.

The great quandary, do you use it or plinth it?  :-X 

My Philistine tendency would be to pretend it didn't exist and buy a mechanically sound, but slightly cosmetically challenged example for £500 - £1,000 and enjoy the wee dodger.  :)

My regards, Bill

Very true Bill. My girlfriend had one back in the day - cracking little motorbike.

Ouch! Not surprisingly, I'm with Bill on this one. What would you do with it at that price. Maybe its one for Dave Silvers Honda Museum  ;)

Morning chaps, yes I to am with Bill and Tim get one that's a sound little runner, spend a couple o quid on sorting out the bad bits then ride and enjoy it. That's wot I've done. Still got the little blighter in a 100 pieces scattered around the ol workshop. However as regards the price of this one. Can't honestly make my mind up wether I think it's to expensive or not, absolutely cracking little bike and as Steve says probably not going to find another with one owner and less than 1000 miles on the clock. Defo one to watch.
Ps... I too bought a brand spanker back in 1980. HVH 212W  if anyone knows of its existence?
Did many 1000's of miles on little thing. Lovely little bike
Cheers.. Michael
