Hey this looks like a nice bike, im looking for a cheap bike to get me on the road, was wondering how much it would cost to get the bike up and running, and since im still only on CBT how much it will cost to restrict the bike? im really looking to save as much money as possible so this would be great if i can get it up to MOT stats i would be really happy.

Thanks in advance.

Morris...
The bike can't be ridden on a CBT as it's a 250cc...but can be ridden without being restricted on a full bike license. If you are still interested I'll give you more info...but I have already had other members contact me

Only kiddin:cuddle.

I used to have the monoshock version of that bike (a 1982 model). Not very quick, but a good starter and runner and pretty good off road too.

Nothing majorly wrong...just needs a new indicator handlebar switch and speedo cable. Like I said, it's scruffy in terms of condition, but it is a 29 year old off/on roader.

Fancy buyin it and hooking a 20" sub and tweeters up to it?? Please??
