I think if you needed the spares that the asking price is now pretty near none of it is exceptionally good but all the parts where ok most need something doing to them but there is not enough in  my opinion to start a restoration from as I said before I have done Yamaha two strokes from this sort of donor but I have spares in stock for them and know them inside out .If its still there after Christmas I might still have a go though im just a sucker for a basket case

As everybody said is more suited to spares than a rebuild unless you already had the parts to complete this one ,an engine rebuild would be needed and obviously a respray ,advised the price may be too high and suggested around

Thanks for that, confirming what I was thinking myself if I am honest ,I would prefer a more complete bike to start ,even if the parts are shot you have something to compare replacements with .Being as I am near anyway I will still have a look.Its not so easy to find my type of restoration base now I think you guys must have them all in your sheds and garages  ;D  Brian

Thats one of the things that worries me ,they have not got a V5 but have done an HPI check on the reg no with the bike and the engine number on that matches the one for sale and the frame number is listed on it ,but it also states the bike is green ,am I right in thinking green was not an option in 72 1971 had a Valley Green but the engine and frame numbers are definately 72,it looks like the entire front end is missing so would have to check for a bent frame and also that box section swing arm does not look like the original does it?on the plus side it is a genuine UK bike registered in August 1972,  5 owners last change of owner 1994  ,and is just the hopeless case I fall for , I am working near to them next Wednesday so I think I will have to go and see if it is still there Brian

Hello there ,After years of restoring two stroke Yamahas (yes I know) I have decided to get a grown ups motorcycle and want a restoration project .Just wondering what you chaps think of this on Ebay ,its the colour and age I want but its been on for ages so I am not expecting a super bargain ,I know that unless you see it in person you cannot give a definative answer but I expect alot of you have looked at the advert and I would appreciate your thoughts,could it be worth a try?I have restored worse but only models I knew alot about.

 Many thanks BRIAN
