Phil Read rep David Sykes CoDurham

Spotted this when getting my monkey bike mot'd and thought it might be of interest.

Edit: Title corrected. I must type David Silvers so often that predictive text changed Sykes to Silvers.

I recall seeing this advert recently via a search. Unless I'm mistaken, there were more photos, one of which was the rider's view. The ignition keyhole was between the clocks. That made me a little suspicious as the ignition switch should be inside the fairing and the space between the clocks blanked off. Worth a double-check for anyone interested in pursuing this bike further. Cheers, D.

I don't know these bikes well enough to spot those kind of details, so I can't judge originality. It just stood out to me as being very close to immaculate.
By the way I've got no connection other than being a customer since I was a kid. They never would part with the cz100.

The front mudguard is also not original

Yes, I saw the bike last week when I was in there and I posted a pic on the forum under 'Bimota Honda'. Nice looking bike but likewise I'm not sure whats original and what isn't, apparently built by someone in Darlington.
