And a shed load of parts missing, Repro parts and wrong parts.

Post by: Bryanj on July 28, 2019, 09:02:46 AM: If it was a K0 it ran into a K2 and had a Barsteward child. Notice there are no frame/engine numbers in listing!!!

Missing air box cover as well

Who knows what could be lurking underneath. What would be a reasonable price? Whats the general consensus.... its definitely worth something

Well it's deffo overpriced IMHo for what it is. Thing is though, everyone criticises but sometimes these bikes when you negotiate a 'realistic' price, turn out to be good 'uns.

It happened last year with a '75 UK 400/4 my friend got .... I asked around and everyone suggested he gave it a wide berth (including me at the time) and that no way was the mileage genuine. Anyway he dragged me to see it and after literally two hours of banter and negotiating we got it for reasonable money and the engine turned out to be a real peach that needed hardly anything doing to it mechanically and I now believe it was a genuine 10k miler, well maintained, as claimed. My mate has almost completed its restoration now and it looks and sounds stunning.
