Am I mad?

At that price I'm sure I would be but I'd like to restore an F2 (one would be sufficient I suppose)

Never keen on back-street dealers though. Any thoughts?

I seen that and was tempted but ive got enough to be getting on with,i bet all that is taking up space in there shop so probably get them down on price,

Keep all the best bits for one bike and flog the rest to make some money back !!!

Cheers

I've been to Frank's shop quite a few times (he's a mate of Eamon's)

Check his other listings - he lists loads of old Jap bikes but the prices are huge...

Looks like a pretty good deal to me with the price of spares as they are and motors going for £300 - £400 each Think I would be tempted to do as Stu suggests ( If I wanted an F2 that is )

Never had you down as a closet stroker Steve  :)

Again was tempted, but too much on at the moment.
As for the NR750, saw one at the Harpenden Classics on the common show in July. Looked gorgeous, but very very expensive
