We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it. The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........As you can see this bike has got a few bits missing, a few bits damaged/broken, a few bits rusty/corroded, a few bits non-standard & a few bits are very nice indeed. The wheels are straight with reasonable alloy rims, good hubs & brake plates. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches look ok. Carburettor is free sliding off the twist grip. Fuel tank looks solid but is filthy/rusty inside. Exhaust is original & solid. Seat base is in good condition throughout. Shock absorber is damping fine. The engine turns over off the kick starter – sounds/feels ok & has compression - We have had it firing/running on easystart spray but the mains feel rough......don't fret we didn't run it long.
