9 bids so far so someone is up for a challenge. The asylum must have had a breakout.

£270 a joke, but frustrating that it has the side panel that I need.

actually might be worth buying for a full restoration or cafe racer and i have just sold my goldwing and have money in my pocket......
seriously though i seem to have been priced out of most sohc bikes, this last couple of years has seen prices for restoration projects go through the roof.

At £270 there's money to be made in breaking it. The engine castings alone are worth that.

You'll be buying a whole lot of aggravation, there's probably not one single bolt that's going to undo, and you'll be swearing at it and asking why I bought this heap of rust and wishing you'd listened to Mike, Brian and everyone else.

Don't worry Mike I won't be buying it. Got enough scrap metal to be going on with.
