There is much debate around the timeline of the F1 vs F2.

Some consider the original model, with pillion footpegs on the swing-arm to be the F.
The F1 had the pegs mounted on frame brackets, and the F2 has the new colours, locking filler cap etc.


I'm sure that the senior members will offer their words of wisdom :)

Afternoon Chaps  :)

Chopper Harris here, about to commence the restoration of a 1977 400/4 I bought around 2 1/2 years ago.

26k miles, one previous owner, I have the MOTs and tax disks back to about 1982.

It is basically sound, I have enjoyed her for the past two summers, with littlle more than oil changes and a front caliper rebuild (of course !)
Totally original, the PO had fitted a new OEM front mudguard and a full 4-1.

The only real issue is a small rust patch where the rear fender has corroded through because of that ba**ard cable guide

I've been riding and restoring since the late '70's, with a particular love of MZ's and airhead Beemers.
I will be posing numerous questions, some dumb and hopefully some interesting ones.

Here she is,
