Did you notice on pic 1 when you  enlarge to 400%, it looks to me as if the bolt is missing from the bottom yoke on the side nearest us :o, let's hope it IS there for whoever rides it away! Also, it's unrestored, as it came from the dealers, Hmm, so it's never had new tyres or brakes in it's life, it's got braided brake hoses ??? oh, and the later mentioned engine rebuild, but he says it's totally original unrestored ::)so obviously an engine rebuild doesn't count as any form of restoration guys :( I take it you wont be bidding then TOMB????
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Err no, its all yours mate, I know its a bargain but I'm looking for just a CB650 motor at the moment. ;)

No I never noticed the yoke bolt, I was too busy being amazed at the rust all over it, under the headlight and the swing arm, and bolts (where they are present ;D ;D)

WOOHOO LAAAAADS!!!!!!!!!!!

Get in there quick, what was a bargain has become bargain of the century, he's reduced it from £3,400 to £2,900.

I'm seriously tempted myself now ::)


Kifer, if only I had the cash I'd be onto your DR650, I'm sure you'll be inundated with buyers ;D ;D ;D

Damn ! >:(
After spotting the articles on the 400/4's I've just spent all my spare cash buying the April issue of Classic Bike magazine, or I might have put a bid on it. :'(

Is it a reverse auction, i.e. lowest unique bid? Ha

It's heading the right way for it!

Thats a good point K2-K6.  Tomb you need to bid 99p your bound to win, then you can have an engine ready rebuilt ;D

Jeez! if they're that dumb I'm gonna get all my crap onto ebay, I'm gonna be a millionaire YIPPEE!!


Sorry lads :-X   ......seriously, what would a CB650 be expected to go for in similar condition. My (inexperienced) guesstimate would be £600



Oh and if the seller reads this  ....WELL PLAYED. RESPECT!!!! ;)

No harm meant but I think that is the ugliest CB made.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.
