Looks like a bit of a overheating problem.

😁 Good play on words Nigel.
'The bike caught fire in the garage'. I'm surprised the house is still standing after that, it looks like an inferno took hold!

Some years ago a neighbour caught a car alight in his garage while working on the fuel/carbs. He had to get out as it took hold plus a load of paint he had added to the inferno.

It was absolutely ferocious, shockingly so, and took everything the fire brigade had to save the adjoining house. 

It certainly impressed on me to do things like that outside to reduce the risk. Very scary if it goes wrong.

" ..... bike was always stored in the garage ....."

Would have been better to store her in the garden.

I agree, prices for later 750's are going a little daft, 2 years ago I was looking at an F2 in admittedly better nick than that but with a seized motor and missing a few components (exhaust, tacho that I remember) he was expecting £1500, couldn't knock it below a grand so left it.

That is well and truly scrap!
