It's a knackered old shed worth whatever the good parts will fetch if you broke it up and stuck it on ebay. Bad points: Plastics fucked Doesn't run By the look of the tyres it hasn't turned a wheel in about 15 years. *and* they take 1980s sized tyres which are rapidly becoming hard to get hold of. Good points: The silencer is nice and shiny. Seriously, stay well away.

Must have been for the parts, but these things become more collectable as they don't last long in the first place, so someone must have thought it was of value. Then again it was an ebay auction and the only people who don't loose are ebay. r Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Charles Hamilton Guest Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 6:27 am    Post subject: Re: A lotta bike for the money?
