Saw that this morning and thought one to post for the forum. What plannet would someone be from buying that...
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

£270 a joke, but frustrating that it has the side panel that I need.
CB550K3, CB550K1, Yamaha Midnight Star, and CA77 in 2473 pieces (at the last count)

actually might be worth buying for a full restoration or cafe racer and i have just sold my goldwing and have money in my pocket......
seriously though i seem to have been priced out of most sohc bikes, this last couple of years has seen prices for restoration projects go through the roof.       
Love the 500 and 550 have a 500 called Lazarus under restoration

At £270 there's money to be made in breaking it. The engine castings alone are worth that.

You'll be buying a whole lot of aggravation,  there's probably not one single bolt that's going to undo, and you'll be swearing at it and asking why I bought this heap of rust and wishing you'd listened to Mike, Brian and everyone else.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Don't worry Mike I won't be buying it. Got enough scrap metal to be going on with.
