You can see I have nothing to do today after a minor op yesterday!

You could do with talking to new member LeeCurtis on his thread before he buys that POS 750 at DK's.

MrDavo:
Currently watching this with interest, at £9.9K, reserve not met with an hour to go.

I have seriously been tempted to have a punt at this to stash away as my next project, for when I (probably) sell the 911 in the summer, giving me space and funds. I haven't got that much in readies at the moment, but anything is possible if I emptied the ISA.

It shouldn't cost that much more than any other barn find 750 to restore (not that I'd bother with most of them), and has the hard parts like the numbers, wrinkle tank (battered) and double cut guard. If you got it for (say) £12k and spent less than £8k restoring it you should be quids in, DS has a red sandcast at £20k which just needs a correct exhaust system, £22k with. Frank and Freddy prices can safely be ignored, as those bikes never sell, they have been up at £30k for a long time.

What really puts me off is not having seen a non running bike that expensive close up before bidding. It clearly had a heavy fall and could be more buggered than it looks. As James pointed out, it could've had a chain through the cases and been bodged up, if so no comeback, caveat emptor.

If I were serious I would have got off my butt and travelled to Stoke. Maybe next time.

MrDavo:
Sold, £12,701 (not me guv!) it all went mental at the last minute, as these things do.

Edit: I just noticed 'Reserve not met!'

They are either overestimating the finished value or underestimating the cost of restoration, in my opinion, Silver's £20k one could be a more sensible buy if you had the money.

Lets see if the new owner shows up on here.

Actually unsold on the listing with reserve not met - pay attention at the back! ;)
