Speedo showing 14000 miles
Bike was running well up until 2020 but has not been used since. Selling due to garage conversion into bedroom. Don’t want to store the bike outside.
Bad points:
Carbs flood ( but has keihin internals ).
Will need a new battery but had good spark at the plugs.
Cb400f handlebars (ds replicas)
4 into 2 exhausts (marving from wemoto) but in excellent condition.
The tank, side panels and suspension covers sprayed in woodcote green (mgb colour) with decals from Piki.
Aftermarket switchgear and mirrors (ds replicas)
Good points:
Both wheels, mudguards the chrome is original and in very good condition.
New tyres (dunlops k82)
New piston rings with good compression.
New seat cover
Boyer Brandsdon electronic ignition.
Matching frame and engine numbers.
May just need a good recommission and will be a nice bike.
There will be a few spares to go with the bike as I need a clear out
£1950 or offers around that price.
Pm me if you need anymore info or pictures and I will get back to you.
Live close to the Motorcycle museum.
Thanks for looking
Mark

The “new switch gear” was from Ds, and is a good match to the originals which will come with the bike as well as some other spares. See photos

Do you want some more photos sent. This may make up your mind.
Not sure which path you want to take it: ie concours or Nice bike to ride, but if it’s a nice bike your after I dont think it would cost a lot more, in my opion.

I simply wouldnt have the front but it depends how much you need to fleece people to put dosh in the bank L suppose. I'm with you on the moral highground. .........Like none of us would check to see??
Like I say, he's got some front. Besides I dont buy to flip, I generally buy to keep unless the bank is looming and then you liquidate to clear the decks and start again later dont you?
Phil's right though, he hasnt sold it yet the cheeky get. ;D

I sold my Maicoletta 250 Scooter years back circa 1965/6 it cost me about £80 I had 12 months fun riding it selling it for £120.
I thought I had sold it for a good price. A couple of weeks later it was in a local bike dealers as a Star Buy priced at around £235.
I looked at my experience in a different way I had sold it at a price I was happy with at the time (I needed the cash). The bloke who bought it off me had a good bike at a fair price and either traded it in or sold it for gain. The dealer then had to offer some sort of warranty he need a gain to pay for his overheads (Big showroom on Osmaston Road) and profit to stay in business. It was in the dealers a good six months before he found a buyer.

I don’t think there is blame or criticism justified in this case, unless somebody misrepresented themselves and I’ve seen no suggestion or evidence of misbehaviour
I was going to buy it until my missus saw through my ‘spares’ subterfuge.

There are no fiends in business. The bike was advertised for sale without caveat as I understand it?

Plenty of fiends in business Phil .. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Got my own back on the mouldy pear comment ;D ;D ;D

I would however be a bit cheesed off if the person who bought it said he was going to keep it, it was a bike a bike I always wanted etc type of thing and then flipped it but we don’t know the full story and therefore cannot comment. Normally it’s a case of buyer beware but that equally applies to the seller when it comes to anything of value and old/historic/vintage.
I have a 1981 Kawasaki Z400j for sale if anyone is interested, just saying.................. ;)
